Never-Ending Story

I welcomed you back with open arms Build the sandcastles with ungloved hands Months of labor with love and care Your silence is deafening My thoughts are endless No questions asked For fear of reply Do we close the chapter? Or rewrite the book?

I love your title--I actually have this book though I haven't gotten around to reading it--haha the "never-got-around-to-reading -never-ending-story!" whew! oh where was I? sorry--sandcastles I think is a very apt way of putting it and I guess it answers your question too--maybe closing the chapter is better :) then you can build a ultra cool beach house instead ;)

Definitely close the chapter, Wilma. Sandcastles may be beautiful and take a long time build, but they get destroyed by a wave as if they never were. Don't rewrite the book, can't live in the past. Write a new one, my friend, or a new chapter. Thanks for sharing this very personal write and the best of luck to you. Thanks for your kind comments today. :) Have an awesome day yourself. Caroline.
