My heart is old in love years the flesh not as supple There has been a hardening brought on by years of toil years of care a heartache or two or maybe more than a few have made it quite callous... My heart is old in love years and yet... there is a soft spot in my heart a tender place where the flesh is young and strong beating along swathed in oxygenated flow not toughened by age or hardened by rage... It is soft It is warm It is moist and fresh virbrant and alive full of love... Yes, there is a soft spot in my heart for.....you Eileen Manassian Ghali

You need to put your voice with this one. I am struggling to do a new recording now that I am home and my student is not here to help me!!

Very nice Eileen, must be for Paul, or you spelled callous wrong, anyway I always enjoy your writing this was very tender.Did you mean vibrant and alive? Well done!

Thank you for the corrections, John. :) It's much appreciated. I welcome an observant eye. Paul and his family do have a soft spot in my heart. They were so gracious to me in Malta. Paul and I have collaborated many times, but.....that was a typographical error. This is actually a repost of a poem I wrote some time ago...My muse is on holiday so I thought I would repost an older poem...You can check the original out here: http://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/soft_spot_504338.. I do believe this was before Paul's time....Thanks for the lovely visit. Hugs
