Growing

Growing
                       As I catch Light
                As rays dissolve my fright
        As my soul dares the mighty height
       As I lend a heart and root out a spite
                As I ease pain into delight
                 As my soul gets refined
                        As I hold tight
                             Growing

Dear Susan, I always miss your gracious presence on my page.. your artistic touch and your poetic flair.. at the same time I can understand that we do not belong to the world of PS only.. we do have many a world in which we share lives, love, care.. that's the joy and beauty of life! What is important is that who we are sharing our lives, passions, time with.. Love, Trust and understanding, I think, is at the core of our relationships.. I can't thank you enough dear Susan for the joy you bring me when I read your sincere words..
