Close your eyes and see The singular life that’s yours~ Smile in wonderment… Michele Marie
The Wisdom of the Clock You can’t escape its silent roar Its race is cast from shore to shore Time dashes off and then is gone “A good deed done, just one more day In good deeds you cannot delay Duty first, then right again” No stress in time or things without The soldier’s […]
