Love can be as fragile as a flower. If not tended it dies quickly. Thank you Paulette. Blessings xxoo

"I didn't notice until you flew away." This happens all the time. We don't realize what we have in front of us, until it's gone. Your thoughts caress gently around me and my heart. Congratulations Connie, on your placement in this contest. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

Lovely poem, Connie. Sometimes Love is so right and touches so lightly, one really does not notice until they are gone. Well said in poetic manner. Check soup mail. Dont know if you recieved second half of my response.
