This is very moving, Tim. What a couplet! And what a couple you must have been. I'm sure Brian will like this one as much as I do and I wish you the best in the contest. Love, Carolyn

I am reading into this one that you are telling your wife that you like the snapshot of her maybe last year that she cried over...If so, very commendable that you would still love her so in this day and age of disposalable mates..Keep the creative pen flowing..Sara

Much captured in just two lines. Good use of imagery. If this is for the contest, best wishes. Karen
