Friends Or Lovers

Sometimes in your eyes I see Reflections of what I dream could be. But, then life's mirror tells me, "No! That's somewhere you can never go." So, sometimes mirrors can reflect things we never should expect. And, if just friends we're meant to be, Let God's sweet gift last eternally. You are you, and I am me and life may pass uneventfully. Yet, we cannot see beyond today and hope lives in another day. So, dear sweet friend, let's live today and let tomorrow find it's way so when and where it all may end we never lose God's gift as friends.

Thanks Shaz. I use every bit of reality around me in developing my work. Each thing I write reflects someone's experience or something inside me that needs expression. In writing I follow this strategy.... Listen.. If it touches a nerve, let it develop.. Write it.. edit... Rewrite and rewrite again... The product usually turns out all right.
