O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go
Part 1 The sun shone high in the sky casting a spectrum of glory across the landscape. The trees and bushes, a thousand shades of green from Brunswick to avocado, while the purple of the lavender competed against the reds, pinks and whites of the roses, and the yellow of the marigolds. The waters of the placid pond, disturbed only by the brown-green-blue mallards, reflected back the azure vista above while the sunlight glittered gold on the ripples.
