Seraphim

little girl who rose up above poverty above ignorance above circumstance above forced marriage... little girl who rose up above her poverty above her circumstance their forced marriage their ignorance... little girl who grew up little girl who had to grow up too fast, far too fast... who learned the ropes too fast who learned rough, tough, gentle who became a woman who became a seraphim... a seraphim who looked down a seraphim who descended descended from the heavens far beyond the speed of light just in time... just in time to save an old fool just in time to marry me... *Happy Birthday Vicki! Miss you...

What a beautifully penned piece of fine poetry. It must be so sad to grow up too fast like she did but then she met you and how happily time flies! A most precious and poignant read! Thank you kindly for the comment on mine!

You melt my heart with the love you hold...... I have a feeling I would have loved knowing your amazing wife. I can tell from your heartfelt expression, that she was so worthy and a beautiful person to know. Some loves do last "forever"
