Johnston Family Poem
Together, we stand; divided, we fall. Whisky in our veins & Fire in our hearts. Names of our fallen, written in the stars. Pipers play as the wind blows through the heather on the hill.

Premium Member Brilliant Art of Miles Johnston

8. Bear Deals With Regret I am sad that my limits taint those I live for, But bet apples to oranges that God feels the same, Though His power's unquestioned, Real Love matters more, And the ultimate gift of His Grace covers blame.
