Two Hearts, Two Lives, An Eternal Meld

Two hearts, Two Lives, An Eternal Meld Hold your horses, those waters arent so deep far, far more to life that eating and sleep. Roses gleaming, dawn's beckoning new frosts things you'd defend at any and all costs. Picnicking, lakeside with your true soulmate times you won, while so sorely tempting Fate! Living to discover love, its treasures path taken, with life's sweet, simpler pleasures. Now gaze back at nights of hottest romance with future lives planned, nothing left to chance. Magnificent joy, two loving gems held with two hearts, two lives, an eternal meld. R.J. Lindley, March 3rd, 1978 Sonnet, ( Life's Sweetest Promises )

Thank you my friend. Yes, such blessing is far greater that vaults of golden treasures. Youth and its high hopes, sweet dreams are blessings that one happily remembers later in life. Even the ones that failed are oft wondrous to remember having hope in.

Thank you my friend. Written at a young age, this one was filled with hope in the future, and revealing how much I appreciated being alive, in love and in great health. A much , much simpler time in life and also in the world as well.
