Love's Reality

I walk, I trust, with open eyes;
I've traveled half my worldly course;
And in the way behind me lies
Much vanity and some remorse;
I've liked to feel how pride may part
Spirits, though matched like hand and glove;
I've blushed for loves abode, the heart;
But have not disbelieved in love;
Nor unto love sole mortal thing
Of worth immortal, done the wrong
To count it, with the rest that sing,
Unworthy of a serious song;
And love is my reward, for now,
When most of dead'ning time complain
The myrtle bloomsupon my brow,
It's odor quickens all my brain

with no silver line to guide me home;

These emotions are indelible, and bittersweet, for me;
I cannot live without you, my heart has been sent to sea.

Hey Liz, I really need to talk to you about my parents computer. Yesterday we had a friend of the family, Jake, work on it and it appeared he removed the virus/malware. My mom got on today and it seems to have come back. Any advice you have will be apreciated.

Dear Liz, the following is from faerieprincess (allpoetry.com/poet/faerieprincess) in a comment on Lauren's story.

Liz (if I may) there is a book of which you may be interested to read to your Lauren. It is called "The Last Fairy" by F.E. Hancock, of which the opening poem is on my author's page. I know you will enjoy reading this to your little one as much as I have to mine. A book which began my love of faeries! Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. Our Faerie Guardian is a wonderful man with a very special gift. He knows with his heart and his soul the magic of which dreams are made of.
** ~;~ a sprinkling of faerie dust for you and your's so your holidays will have a magical sparkle.
