Life

Like a maelstrom it imprisons 
In it’s cast iron grip 
Fighting is futile
Escape impossible

Joanna, making a bay is the easy bit, its the next eightenn years that are difficult. I am in a position to offer practical lessons in baby making, its long and hard but I think the efforts will be rewarded.

We never know what life will give to us. We can seem to have it all in control and find out that we have no control. We have only a certain amount of control then the rest is life. Keep the creative pen flowing. May your gifts expand and touch on the lives of many in a positive way in the coming years . Sara
