For Ila

Of course, poetry is just a word;
and then, poetic content.  As life
before the living – life was just a
word.  I was just and I until you
came along, singing your budding
songs.  Surely God modeled His
spring nature, with astonishing you
in mind.

Thank you, Sara; deep abiding love. I am certain that, which ever one of us goes first, the other will soon follow. We are the world to each other. Blessings my friend.

Once you were alone. Now there are two- you and your Ila, but merged into one. Great dedication to your sweetheart.

Hi Valsa; alone is no good. I often say to Ila, that if I kick the bucket, impossible as it probably is, she find herself someone more handsome, more brilliant, more poetically inclined than I~ and as humble:)) Really, sense of humor is important. She laughs at everything I do. A wonder we managed to have children.

What a sweet dedication. Is this your wife? Reading your comment to Joe M about the covid jabs killing kids. If only the world would wake up and see what you and I are seeing. These monsters should he tried for crimes against humanity. Thanks for being smart.

Yes, Ila is my wife. I heard just yesterday that it is official, some children did die as a direct result of the vaccine. Children that statistically had almost a zero chance of dying from the virus. If true, that is criminal in my opinion. I think it was a FDA (here's a link I found: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/fda-covid-vaccines-children-deaths-rcna246437) report being discussed. Check it out. See what you can find out. One has to wade through so much garbage to get at truth these days.

Hi Joe; all about sharing, helping one another. Of course, so many just want to take and devour.
