her beauty ever fresh in his eyes’

Keeping It Together…
When things fall apart all around us
let’s hope that the glue of human love
can hold the center together
even if it’s by a thin thread.

Evergreen…
On this valentine’s day and with Ronovan’s haiku prompt ‘eye & fade,‘ my thoughts drift to my dad.
He would have called me by his special name for me just to say happy valentine and to ask after his grandchildren. I miss him sorely.
Though I haven’t set eyes on you
in three long, painful years,
my hearts memories of you never fade.

My Message to You Today…
Your love can neither be bought
nor can it be sold
Your love for yourself
is the root of your love for others
Learn to embrace your imperfections
and hug your genuineness
Love yourself fully as you are
because you are enough
Share the gift of who you are with others
from your full cup of love.
Happy Valentine
♥
Love & Light

Every inch of love that you have for others stems from the love that you have for yourself.
The Trucker’s Love…
Kate sighed in pleasure, sipping her cup of tea and listening to her mother tell the hallmark love story of her grandparents.
No matter how many times she heard the same story, it never failed to satisfy and she hoped that someday she would find the kind of love that they had shared.
Grandpa Robert, a handsome sweet talker had fallen in love with Daisy May, the Sheriff’s daughter on his regular trucking trip through town.
Young Robert had convinced Daisy to elope with him, leaving behind an arranged marriage and an irate father.
He kept his promise to take Daisy places that she had never been before and for many years to come, they covered long miles together; even their first child, Maisie was born on the road.
Though its original owners had long passed on – mere week’s of each other’s death – the old truck’s head still sat in its’ prized position. As integral to the land as the homestead that they had built.
Thank you, Mike Vore for this week’s photo and my lady P.J. for hosting us.
All New Writers Quote Challenge Prompt
‘Our love is like the misty rain that falls softly, but floods the river.’ African Proverb
In little drops,
your love penetrates
it wears down my inhibitions
it breaks down my suspicions.
♥
In steady flow,
your loving motions
grant me buoyancy
taking me to places I never knew.
♥
In rocking rhythm,
I learn how to love
floating beside you
we make a beautiful song.

Your Love…
My take on Bernadette’s quote for this week’s All New Writers’ Quote Challenge.
Like the caress of a gentle butterfly,
you brush kisses across my brow
Your arms hold me in loving hugs
they become my place of anchor
Sweet quiet storm
your love stirs in me
it sets my heart racing
yet stabilizes me.
♥
