*************************************

Ship Wreched

 

Two ships

Sailing stars

Bright and shining

To dreams afar.

 

Two Hearts

Broken

Two pair of lips

Tenderly kissing

 

What does tomorrow hold?

Will it be cold?

What words will be told

Truthfully

 

Three tears

May appear

Or may

Just as suddenly

Disappear

 

Four roses

A glimpse was all I got

One chance to catch my breath

Of fresh air

To touch your hair

Long long long ago

I wanted to tell you “I do care.”

 

Yet nothing but lust

Filled the air

Perchance

To dance

 

Happenstance

Just to say “Hello.”

Down in the valley we go

Where shadows come slowly

And sunsets too quickly.

There will be another time and place. This was a learning experience so next time you will not come in second place - ever again!

Amen!

Life is full of missed opportunities. Ends like that old song, “Down in the Valley.”
