A Kiss

A Kiss They tell of the kiss in songs to sing and in the poems that rhyme. It has the power to break a heart or heal a troubled mind. It is purest in a morning greeting or at the end of a perfect day. Can anything be better at a sad time, when you see a friend away? I have seen the rays of the sun, as they kiss the morning dew. The darkness as it fades away, kissed by a sky of blue. There is a kiss for a champion, for a race he has won. Even a kiss for the one who lost, for the race well run. There is a kiss for Auld Lang Syne the end of another year. A kiss for a little child, to quite a night-time fear. There is a kiss of betrayal, told in ancient times. A kiss that turned a frog to a prince, heard in a nursery rhyme. So, as I think about it, A kiss can be the best, But, there can be a danger, there's also the kiss of death.

Creative work you have penned in this one. Some get to experience some of these kisses, but some only get to experience the kiss of death which is sad. I enjoyed reading your work. Your review of my work was encouraging. It is sad to learn of the fact that Alzheimer's Disease is in your family. It is terrible watching the downhill decline of loved ones that suffer from it. Sara
