yours sounds very biblical, like one of the actual proverbs! WEll done, Dear Heart. Congratulations and thanks for your last contest. As I searched for my most meaningfuly poems, lo and behold, nearly all of them had been inspired by YOUR contests, so I had to come up with Lost September, one that had not been in one of your beautiful contests.
