The sweetest fruit...
Life happens, Especially when We make other plans. A day is like an orange; We squeeze moments and Memories from each one While worrying whether Our glass is half-full or half-empty. Some drink their fill of The juice of opportunity; Careless others spill theirs, Staining the carpet of their lives. The sweetest juice is found In moments spent with you; Such times are gently squeezed, Flowing into the mouth of my heart, Where they remain forever. Whenever Life happens, I think of you and know our moments Are a sweet vintage waiting for us. � 2006 by Robert E. Blackwell
