Nothing else Matters
just Love. 

There is lots done,
lots said,
lots thought
in Lieu of Love,
in Stead of Love
in Place of Love.

Nothing, none of these
Matter.
Just Love.

Who didn't live in a shoe

She put them to work
She played in their stead
Life was so lovely

As of this moment ?

What is the No 1 thing ?

Come whatever tomorrow brings ?

Clean Sheets

There were clean sheets on the bed
Neatly made with tidy threads
Cleanliness was always good
In their younger days as lovers laid as they should
But age now keeps them apart in their bed
Comfort important and sleep now in its stead.
