just for laughs. or is it? i asked robbie to write me a love poem that I can post tonight when I get home

Enthralled I am, awestruck captiv… Her loveliness defying description Her sweet pleasing honeysuckle fre… Stirring long-buried dormant emoti… Her subtle evanescent lilac scent

A lovely bird cage Antique ornate bejeweled Glum blue jay inside How tragic that such beauty Can inflict tremendous pain

A world black and white Grays of every depth and shade Our God could have made Instead He painted rainbows To brighten our tomorrows

The debris that weigh us down, It’s best to let them go To compassion, open our hearts And let the feeling show Let the flotsam float away,
