Alas, Ilene, everything changes, everything is temporary, there is no safe haven. But we will (just as in the movies) always have what we have experienced and what we have suffered through, at least for as lor as long as we remember! "Todo lo que es hermosa tiene su instante/ y pasa." (Everything that is beautiful has its moment, and passes. -- Pablo Neruda)...Courage!

And everything else the wise Creator sees fit to remove. Glad you like my Flackmoth poems. I wrote the bulk of them some years ago and had a great time doing so, I've recently edited most of them for better word choices and clarity. Much appreciated, Ilene, and coming from you a superb rhymer. / M
