Words Unspoken

He held my hand, not one word was spoken Then a ring he offered as a token He could not ask for marriage For fear I might disparage His eyes conveyed sentiments unspoken * Entry for Adeleke's "Unspeakable Love" contest

Lovely ~Carolyn~ as ever... Be so wonderful if Dane Ann and yourself get to come over, if we know in advance if necessary we could even meet you if not more than couple of hours away as I am having some problems travelling (fluid-legs). Both know you are more than welcome to base here few days... ;D So excited! Fingers legs and all crossed! lol.
