joy

If it were not for you
It seems that every day would be
A life unfulfilled.
Winter then forever and no smile of spring.
An icy lake without a melted heart within.
~Susan Casey from My Secret Joy

  9. That's a beautiful little poem--I had to giggle, though. I was reading it & getting all sentimental because that's how I feel about my hubby... but then realized, he probably wouldn't 'get' that poem because he LOVES winter! hehe
