A Quickie

A Quickie No time to give long loving words of glorious praise, sugar and spice wrapped in a simmering little glaze just enough time to cry out in happiness and glee of the better man you birthed and then raised in me standing defiant against time's test and raging sea Robert J.Lindley , 06-20- 2014 SKAT A Contest Name 5 lines (a quickie)
