Thoughts of you drift through my mind, Like soft and fluffy dandelions; The dreams I had for you, dear one, Still warm my heart like the morning sun.

I may add to, or take away from what I have put out. Bringing in nature items from outside is one way I love to decorate. … Continue reading The Deep Breath of Satisfaction
