You are there, Here with me
By Larry Chadwick

Parting was never part of our plan,
This is not the way we wanted it to be.
This is virtually breaking my heart,
Except I know you are there, here with me.

We’ve created so many dreams together,
Counting on all the places we would see.
This is virtually breaking my heart,
Except I know you are there, here with me.

I can hardly wait until we conceive,
The children we wanted, yes, all three.
This is virtually breaking my heart,
Except I know you are there, here with me.

But until you finally are able to return,
I’ll settle just for the memory of you I see.
This is virtually breaking my heart,
Except I know you are there, here with me.

Noah,
My first challenge. Much more fun than I thought. Thanks for the encouragement. Glad you found Santa's list advice too!

Kacy,
You guys are taking me places I never thought I could find! Thanks.

Karen,
Thank you, thank you. Your responses are always so incredibly encouraging. You're the best!

'Tis the season. Happy holidays. I like to say that for at least a month.

Where else would you like us to take you? Isn't the moon far enough?

Kacy,
A traveler I always dreamed I would be,
So many places and things for me to see.
Then reality smacked me in the face,
I haven't been to hardly any place.

Finally I decided to go where I could afford,
Regardless of having to do it in my Ford.
So now that my bank account has run out,
I've decided to find what I'm all about.

Passions was the place that this search went,
It seems that it was mostly heaven sent.
Because here I have found friends so fair,
They've encouraged me to be free and dare.

So there...ms. smarty pants

LOL, so if I am here, and you are there,
WHERE THE HECK ARE WE?
I knew I'd find a riddle in there somewhere!

Kacy,
You can't be here, because you're not all there!

Which should just about be right for that bikini! LOL

SEA,
Glad I never lived it! Thanks.

Sunshine,
Thanks. First write based on a challenge and I enjoyed it.

Thank you Mam Nan.

Juanita,
Actually it would have been twelve! But back to reality.
