~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My love, above all, is my dearest friend. I would trust her with any thing we say. If I had talent to paint her portrait, Or sculpt her likeness out of earthen clay— Orchids would form her innermost beauty; Granite would become her outer display. When time cools her soul to a dying ember, Hardened stone will make Jen live forever.

I think you just painted her portrait in prose and we all know the timeless nature of that. Nicely done. Patrick
