Notes About The Poem

Wishing For Time

As dark turned to dawn, in bed with my love I lay, wishing for time to stop. . . so in his arms I might stay.

Brought such a smile to my lips as I read your wonderful words. I defy anyone to read this without the most tender picture of a loving caress coming into their mind. Andrea you just told a beautiful love story in twenty four words. So well done sweet poet.

I would also wish for time to stop Andrea :) this one made me smile. We have a little more sunshine over here in Cape Town today.. btw there is a few I wrote earlier in this year that you haven't read yet. I can't even remember what inspired that secret. lol I am on lunch at work at the moment.. Half way through the day :) enjoy your Tuesday, love Wilma

Yup...there should be a national stay-in-bed day for lovers. Having to get up from such a comfy spot makes the day's work seems more labored. A sweet Couplet, Andrea. Thanks for stopping by and comments made. With my husband it's very complecated...can't even understand it all myself. One love and God bless. Joy Wells
