Best Kept

lies plied between us

                             the glue beneath our veneer

                                  secrets behind smiles

There is much wisdom in your words and many couples do seem to keep things from each other. Best wishes in the contest, Carolyn

I read your contest instructions. I will try writing something if I'm not to late , but brain injury isn't funny.. I almost lost my son while in the service from a car accident and Traumatic brain injury and I from a tumor removal of the brain.. It leaves a lot of side effects and not for the best.. I am so sorry you have had to go through this. I am very lucky I didn't get the headaches like so many.
