Malleable Heart: A Musette*

I’ll be
yours forever,
dearly.

Even
my soul’s flown to
heaven,

Even
bones are fin’lly
laden,

Until
words become all
futile,

Until
heart and mind are
docile,

I’ll be
yours wholly, my
only.

      3. Oh I’m so bad–I actually laughed with glee that the boss is too sick to scream at you!!! Happy Monday–I’m praying for you to have a mega-blessed week!!! And yes, it’s July 4th for us…but I’m sad that it’s so cloudy we may not be able to see the beautiful fireworks show…I can hear the “booms”, but want the pretty starbursts. Oh well, that’s life 🙂

      5. Hahahahaha–you’re so cute, and I hope they listen!!! The “booms” in the neighborhood are starting to get to me…but the televised program will start in 20 minutes, so I’m hopeful of seeing starbursts over the water!
