Said He..

You
have the toughness
of a willow tree.
Perhaps, you'll tell me,
a weeping willow,
but a certain beguiling durability
nonetheless.

My favourite trees are the sufsafs, dull green on the surface, silver shine on the back... unlike most things in life that are mostly "min barra rkham w min joowa skham.." Weeping willows come next in line.. so graceful, so humble, unafraid to show their droop... their beauty in their ways of reaching the energising rivers for life... Have I ever told you about my imaginery friend with whom I shared my problems on the banks of a river?? He had a scar on his face, a beautiful scar that I later found out was my own... I was too young to know then...
Short and powerful is your poem. You get better by the day... how deeply you touch yr moments and those of others...Lucky are those who receive your gifts.

Aren't they beautiful?

Can a change in context and formatting constitute theft? Isn't the child that comes home muddy, scratched and exhausted from play all the more beautiful when bathed, fed, and laying happily in bed, radiant with the loving ministrations of the one who saw the beauty in the child from the beginning?
