Fairies Dance and Fortune Smiles

Fairies Dance and Fortune Smiles I have seen the forest fairies dancing in the morning dew dressed in silver and gold two by shining two Sounds of Nature playing that beautiful magic dancing tune in singing tribute to the wonder of previous night's moon I have seen the majestic glory of a lover's moon at night so beautiful impossible to describe by mere words I write Nights so fine that life begged for time to stand still stay the course, fight the fight , to find destined will I have felt the pain of crashing and crushing total defeat! in life and love pick carefully the ripe fruits you eat For life's choices are sweet but often laced with thorns and evil cruelties that even make the good fairies mourn I have travelled a journey guided by a much greater spirit blinded by weakness , lusts so deafening I couldn't hear it Yet the gentle mercies given me can be blessedly gifted to you your great call, your life and fortunately you get to choose! Robert L. 05-25-2014 Many gifts were tossed upon my path. I never knew why. Perhaps my father's prayers came true . I got blessings so many of which I was never truly due! Week before he died he prayed for not himself but rather for happy lives for his 11 kids!! I suspect I most of all.

I am greatly honored by that my friend. Appreciate far more than you may know. My Dad 's prayer is the only thing I can think of that saved my life on 4 occasions in my long and often very wild 60 years.
