Sincere Sentiments

Mellow music and a lark's sweet song ~
My memories recall devout days of
lasting love and tender thoughts.
No wistful weeping or trickling tears
slowly shed with dire dread
free fall from my expressive eyes.
I've been blessed with a happy heart.

I think most of us can remember such days Lin, however fleeting they are, yes I agree they do leave us with a happy heart, but also one wanting more of them, cheers David

If only we could find a way to keep our hearts happy. Impossible when there are so many outside influences that come into play. Thanks for the read and your thoughts, David.

Life choices we make are not always the best path we could've taken and circling back to start again takes time and toll, but the alternative is giving up. There's no hope in that. Thank you for your thoughts and well wishes, Tom.
