I was missing you, but now that's satisfied, too, with a poem of much wisdom, garnered from the trial of years and tears.

All these rich experiences are lost on those who forget to dream and play. Your quiet coaxing will surely make them change their minds and come out and play with you! Nice, summery poem with a lot of good sense.

These are good thoughts to remember as we scurry and hurry, hastening the grave. Be well and prosper.

Gorgeous, Susan, I was 'smiling' and nodding to many ones of your heart-felt verse, workaholicism kills dreams, the softer ones, I mean.

A good old-fashioned dose of homespun cellar wisdom, Susan...the half-pint Mason is full of the dandelion wine and the huge cleats on that John Deere Tractor wheel leaves acres of travels embedded in us, chock full of good country soil - us mountain girls aren't missing a thing...a wonderful bouquet of stop and smell the roses...a slower pace finds a wonderful verse for you, Susan...and thanks always for taking time out to stop in, I appreciate you...

Love,
Sage

Take it easy on your spirit...it too could use some sun
Come on out and play with me...add years to all your fun.
I love you and afterall ...and funny as it seems...
You can't possibly love living when you short change all your dreams

I truly appreciate the philosophical outlook that you share via your verses here, Susan. Thank you. Love and best wishes,

Regis

Ah, classic Susan L. de Vegter and I was ready for it. When you take on the affairs of the heart, my friend you never fail to push the envelope in the opposite direction most would push. For you and your emotional poetry it is always the simple vs. the complex. You see what is important, really important, as all earth-bound poets do. It was so good to read this tonight, I have missed you.
