Susan, thank you so very much for your encouraging words. You always make me feel good even with writes that i am not that crazy about....tried to rework this every which way....edit, and go over again and again, but this is what i ended up with-the final product. Had so many feelings directing me all at once. You are a dear and ever so generous with your comments. Poemhunter is truly blessed to have a writer here that is more than kind, generous, and brilliant. You make coming here to write a wonderful experience once again. Theo

Theodora! This is such a lovely poem that you have created out of the beauty of your heart and soul. Line after line of the abundance of blessings outside that God created for us to enjoy, to restore our souls, to give us peace. Line after line of how young lovers see that world- this is an amazing piece of composition. I could see- -well, actually I could hear- - this poem being the impetus for a symphony, it sings with joy until the last 4 lines that cast dark clouds onto the horizon. 10 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
