To Love An Angel

How many memories will I hold to?
How many loves have I known, without cares?
The changing color of the days once blue
Since I met you, have faded through the years
No longer flames burning, out of control
And scorched landscapes of smoldering desires
Love made a diamond from the blackest coal
With hands gentle, you tamed the raging fires
And claim this reckless soul, to hold the key
To ask nothing, yet heal the inner pain
Found emptiness that resided in me
And washed away my darkness and disdain

And though I walked in dung lit realms of shade
An Angel came to shine a light unafraid

In response to what you told me, I too used to take my plates off the wall and put up the decorative Xmas plates, but most of my xmas decorations are ones for table tops. so I had like four table scenes going on: snowmen/ angel and manger scenes/ tiny Xmas trees/ little statues of santa clauses, etc. I don't put half them out anymore. My kids never even cared about them when they were with us. Only I seemed interested in such stuff.

my kids loved it , it made them them feel like they were in a toy store, and that's because of the 1 million toy soldiers that were standing all over the house...ok not a million but it sure look like a million
