Once Cupid

Once upon a time, Cupid asked for volunteers for

He wished his archery on their hearts to practice.

Millions rushed forward the opportunity not to miss,

Alas, only a few arrows he had at his disposal!*

Yes- it is almost time for Valentine's day. Hope you have a loved one to whom you wish Cupid to strike. I guess you feel there are not enough arrows in the quiver for all of us! Fine write! Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

Bridges can easily be build over non-existent rivers IF egoism is sacrificed on the altar of love my dear friend, Anne-Lise! Hugs. Thank you!
