What can you give of jewelry? All that I can and more What of the gift of matrimony? As soon as I can afford. What of supplying a residency? I’ll find a home and we will stay. What of a sense of security? I’ll protect of you always. What of degrees of the leisurely? I’ll […]

Awake and Happy
The warm rays of sunlight shine through your window. Rise. You stretch your wonderfully functioning body towards the sky. Shine. A blissful sounding chorus of songbirds graces your ears. Rise! You allow a warm, full, radiant smile to stretch from ear to ear. Shine! A popping sound of percolation comes with the smell of coffee. […]

I connected, then skimmed. I swabbed, then filled in. I mixed, then applied, blended and then smiled. I finally found you, […]
Shine, shine, shine.
The stars know nothing more than to shine, shine, shine Those on the ground look to the sky, sky, sky. To gaze upon the sparkles in the night, night, night. Wishing that we could burn so bright, bright, bright. Shinning like the stars in our sight, sight, sight. Ignoring how brilliant we are inside, inside, […]
