To Caroline…


This Life
You, Life
So full of
Ups and downs

Today you give me hope
Today you tell me bad news
Today I get a reward

One day at a time
Yes, hun

Yet

So full of
Ups and downs


Today I cannot resist

Today I lie and wait
Today I might even pray

Yes, hun

Life cannot help it
But evolve…

Last April, Caroline, from Constantly Evolving, rewarded me with this amazing picture. This is to you my dear friend. Thank you so much. At long last I got it. I have it here next to me and will frame it tomorrow! I feel so grateful and lucky again. Hoping you keep “ taking that peek...and bloom 365 days in 2010”

The picture looks lovely. I could gaze at it for hours and not feel bored. A lovely dedication to Caroline. I'm sure she would have been proud of the picture and the verse.

A splendid July to you dear Dulce. Isn't it lovely that we passed six months well? The miracle called life never ceases to surprise us.

Joy always,
Susan

Love your poem. It invites me to reflect about life... and that's what I'm doing right now.

Love your picture. It makes me think of landscapes dressed up with lots of poppies... and they're what I'm seeing right now.

Take care, Sweetest Dulce.
