As Long As You Fly

Appreciate The blessings all around us Though it seems there far below When the trials take your car to tow Remember That there’s always tomorrow To steal, to give, to borrow From those that break the sorrow You’ve touched me in ways you’ll never see Beyond the blessings of tomorrow Beyond the bright blue sea You have endeared my every being Not for once ever seeing The flaws that dare to crush the marrow The tears that dare to deepen my sorrow And now you’re crushed So listen To the music that has inspired us To the poem I attempt to sew When the vultures attack and overthrow And never forget What you mean to me For my love will not dry As long as you fly And are new

These are wise words to uplift the soul, written in a very honest and human way. Your optimism is infectious, Laura. In one of your lines do you mean to say "endeared" or "endured" ...? Wasn't sure.

"The flaws that dare to crush the marrow/ The tears that dare to deepen my sorrow..." Some powerful feelings expressed so tenderly. This is worth reading again. Wonderful - Chuck
