Backward,
turn backward,
O time in
your flight,
Make me a
child again
just for
tonight!
Mother, come
back from the
echoless shore,
Take me again
to your heart
as of yore.
 
~Elizabeth Akers Allen
 
 
 
  
Have an enchanted
weekend.

What gorgeous artwork. And a lovely sentiment for just a night. Childhood and it's innocence.

"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. ~From a headstone in Ireland"

She knows you can't... she wouldn't want you to and loose all you've created thanks to her example and teaching.

A nice, endearing, thought from someone who never stopped missing and loving who gave her so much, all...

Be well, be Blessed, Dear Friend!

Love reading poems, real slow and over and over again! Sheri, I'm sorry I've been away from a visit, every time I think I'm going forward with blogging, something gets in the way :0 So soon I will post, first chance. Also, I have put the cart before the horse with my Esty shop, I'm truly not ready, but I will paint you the "Hope" painting with brown hair. With everything, just give me a little time!Much love coming your way dear friend, Rayanne
