A PERFECT FIT-I think everyone has that one drawer or basket full of miscellaneous buttons and screws or strings or weird little things that do not seem to go with anything. People are like that too. If those nuts and bolts and things could feel and tell you how THEY feel everytime you pass them by...what would they say? What does that strange little man or that demure quiet downcast lady think, or want to say? Maybe this:
A PERFECT FIT
2-27-2016
We don't fit...
Do we?
The little nuts and bolts
Too different, all sorts.
We languish...
Don't we?
In our useless little drawers,
Seconds and minutes, turn to hours.
We wait...
And wait!
Sometimes we think,
"They see us!".
Then you hesitate,
Oh...
We understand.
You found another perfect one...
For another while you will laugh,
Have fun,
Play.
We don't fit...
Do we?
The little nuts and bolts,
Too different, all sorts,
We languish...
PEACE & discomfort

The Symphony of Love
One evening, as they strolled hand in hand beneath the starlit sky, Ethan paused beside a gleaming storefront adorned with dazzling jewelry. His eyes alighted upon a breathtaking set of ornaments – a necklace, earrings, and bracelet – each adorned with intricately carved silver vines and sparkling diamonds that seemed to capture the very essence of Sophia's beauty.
