>
> And the roses sitting there.
>
>
>
> A year went by, and it was
>
> To live without her mate.
>
> With loneliness and solitude,
>
> That had become her fate.
>
>
>
> Then, the very hour,
>
> The doorbell rang, and there

>
>
>
> She brought the roses in,

> To call the florist shop.
>
>
>
> The owner answered, and she asked him,

>
>

> As she slowly reached to get the card.
>
>
>
> Inside the card, she saw that he

>
>
> This is what he wrote..

This is beautifull Iain and moved me deeply.
True love is forever I can assure you of this.
Ages after ages and through many forms true love
is coming back to bring its everlasting warmth.
Always trust someone is loving you and that that love you share
has no end.

Loving Kindness
