In The Heart

It crossed my mind
that maybe all of
life isn't lived in the
present, maybe
a tiny part of it
is lived in the heart

Antiques

If only antiques could talk,
what would they say. The
histories and mysteries of
what they know, the
places and families would
come alive again. I imagine
the old milk can or grandmas
vase I have could tell wonderful
stories. Looking at an antique
in a yard sale, I pick it up and
wonder where it had been,
what it could say to me if
only it could talk.

Best Friends

A best friend is someone
you can talk to about
anything, the most inner
thoughts, fears, things
not even a spouse could
be told. When you hurt
the other one hurts with
you. No matter what, there
are things that you can
not fix, only be there for
each other. Right or wrong
we stand by one another.
This next chapter in the
book of life is going to
be the most challenging
to date. I will be there
holding her and giving
comfort for there is not
going to be a good
ending. She will go on
with life, but we both
know it will never be
the same.
