- I Wish You All the Best Carolyn -

An Open Heart

                                                 I open my heart
                                           only to be burned again.
                                                 But if I lock it,
                                     there`s no chance for future love.
                                           Open, I still cling to hope.



                                        written by Carolyn Devonshire





This is a little poem that says many words.
Having a open heart, it has at least this
particular lovely poet.
Carolyn Devonshire has an open heart for all
and encouraged all other to do the same.
Carolyn Devonshire gives everything of herself,
which I appreciate alot.
I put you on a throne today Carolyn, because you
are a lady with a lot of love, caring and are loved 
by many.
Do not forget dear reader: HAVE AN OPEN HEART!


Wish you all the best dear Carolyn!

I think if I were as stubborn as my parents said I was, I'd have thrown away the key to the bottom of the ocean...Never wanted to open my heart up either after experiencing so much pain. I know that is one thing that Carolyn and I share is loss of a love. You picked a real gem here, Anne Lise. Your kind narrative blows me away. You too are a reciprocating soul. Thanks for paying tribute to one of our finest Soupers. Your entry is outstanding! :) Gwendolen

Morning Carolyn! Wishing you the best! An open heart can be an dis great. But, how many times can one take an open heart crushed? I have opened my heart to my wife. She is my wife, lover, friend, life's companion. Take care and be careful to whom you open your heart to. Love, Jancarl
