To Seek

To think
I used to love you

To think
I used to care

To show to you
the warmth this love

in a life we
once had shared

To think
we had it all before

A love
that people seek

To think of it
will make you sad

tears flow
to your cheek's

Dear John

Small but saying so much ... made me a little sad love and big hugs JayCee (“In time we hate that which we often fear.” William Shakespeare quote)

Awe John

I didn't know you cared this much for me. Beautiful write and a little sad, as JayCee said Xena Mrs John x Quote: Science is what you know; philosophy is what you don't know. - Bertrand Russell

Hi xena, how are you love? I'm good, just waiting for better weather, so my mind stays a little bit busier, Like having narcolepsy, here one minute and gone the next. so hope you liked it and we will meet again.. Love John.

I can hear Louis Armstrong singing this

Ann of Norway So nearly so beautiful in its total simplicity this one John, "To show to you  the warmth this love"............of the love? "before we shared".......that once we shared?....to avoid two before's? "A love  that people seek"...think I would say THE love! "The tears flow  to your cheek’s "......I would cut out the 's on cheek. Love from Ann.
