Melissa,
The words ride saddled gently, upon the wide sweeping wings of hope, I like that!

Only one dream Melissa. No, no, no, there will be many in your life. And you will fulfill your destiny. Your are a excellent poet, and only the ones who recognize how good your rhyming sceme is know how good you are. The good ones who rhyme never "mis-rhyme." Before they will do that they will rewrite the line. That is why I am able to make a poem into a song.
How have you been? I still have hopes for our song we did together. Please stop by
and have a good cry on my repost of "Clown In Disguise," with a wonderful clown
painting by Kate Clifford of AD and
also with background music. You have the talent to write songs also. Bill
