Sentiment

 Have I missed
something in this life

the sweet smell of a rose
the kiss of a wife

is it for me to find 
or will the world to me

be unkind?

She is out there Manti

Short, sweet and to the point on this one. Good going my friend and go out tomorrow pick you a rose and give it to a stranger, a woman that is. Let me know how that one works. And don't forget to kiss it first before you hand it to her. I shall await your response to let me know how you did. I like this one:) Mona xoxoxo I forgot, how about the ending sounding like this...(be so unkind?) Just a thought.
