This poem conjures up images of poetry, but also of that perfect word that is on the tip of your tongue when you are trying to communicate with someone...that word that would clarify your point perfectly...but that you can't seem to find. :~)

Sis as always you write with vigor that comes only from inside. This is great as usual. The beautiful that is, comes from those that read our works and are entertained by them. I so agree with Thunderduck, that glory is never ours. May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly.

Take care,
