a forever kind of love

in a little blank book
that i received
as part of a christmas gift
--oh, a lot of years ago--
i copy little things
that catch my fancy.

here's one
from awhile ago:

We gave. . .

when we wanted to receive.

We served. . .

when we wanted to feast.

We shared. . .

when we wanted to keep.

We listened. . .

when we wanted to talk.

We submitted. . .

when we wanted to reign.

We forgave. . .

when we wanted to remember.

We stayed. . .

when we wanted to leave.

it was written 

by dillon and patti bayes

for a valentine's contest 

for good housekeeping.

they won,

i think,

a mediterranean cruise

in 1994.  

i think it's classic. 

what do you think?
