Image result for pictures of older couples walking through a wood scene in spring My biological mother died, then my biological father, then the two parents who adopted me also passed. When Jesus calls me home, I'll be in God's home where His children belong with all of those who made their arrangements ahead of time.

Back when we would walk in the spring-green wood Holding hands, hearts joined only as lovers can Thoughts circle round those days in the deep wildwood Now aged, bent way past young adulthood Young love comes in glimpses in this lifespan Longing for Jesus' relief of my orphanhood

Dear Sara, your thoughts remind me of a hymn: ' There's a church in the valley by the wildwood, no lovelier spot in the dale. No place is so dear to my childhood, as the little brown church in the vale. ' So beautiful, indeed. Your words caress gently around me and my heart. Congratulations my dear friend, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy
