Time Stand Still Please

.
Under  the canopy of trees
               Just   my love and me
Gently he holds my hand
               Draws me close to caress
Tenderly...Time stand still please

I'm so happy you chose to read my 'ANTI...' Sara. I often say "words are the funist toys". I'll bet you have a similar attitude. ~Jim

Sara, thanks so much for your sweet remark. And this one is my favorite of the two . I can't put my finger on it. I think it's the way you ended it like you are imploring time. And also the way you indented the lines. Is it the one entered in the contest. Best of luck with it. LUv, Andrea

If only we could make time stand still, Sara. At least you have your memories of this happy time. If this is for the sanctuary contest, I think your entry will do very well! Love, Carolyn
