"I cant promise that I'll grow those wings or keep this tarnished halo shined"

"Angel Mine" He searched for those wings that he knew that this angel should have at her back And although he can't find them he really don't mind because he knows they'll grow back And he reached for that halo that he knows that she had when she first caught his eye Although his hand came back empty he's really not worried 'cause he knows it still shines I can't promise that I'll grow those wings or keep this tarnished halo shined but I'll never betray your trust angel mine I search all the time on the ground for our shadows cast side by side Just to remind me that I haven't gone crazy that you exist and are mine And I know that your skin is as warm and as real as that smile in your eyes But I have to keep touching and smelling and tasting for fear it's all lies I can't promise that I'll grow those wings or keep this tarnished halo shined but I'll never betray your trust angel mine Last night I awoke from the deepest of sleeps with your voice in my head And I could tell by your breathing that you were still sleeping I repeated those words that you had said I can't promise that I'll grow those wings or keep this tarnished halo shined but I'll never betray your trust angel mine

Take Time to Relax and Reflect

A Quote from a novel that I had to write down

While reading a novel last night my neighbor loaned to me I came across a sentence that hit me and I had to stop reading and write it down.  The words were......

         

 "Forget what hurt you in the past, but never forget what it taught you"

Nostalgia and Counting My Blessings

While going through some things for our upcoming move, I came across an old Polaroid picture I took about 37 years ago when my daughter was 2-1/2.  We flew to Florida to visit my parents and I snapped this picture of her "snuggling" with her Grampy (my dad).  I am blessed to have a wonderful, loving family and two amazing and loving children
