i can get totally lost in a photo just wondering~

take the one from above, a Pinterest grab

it's misty and there's a creek naturally

there's woods and there's seasons

aren't the colors gorgeous.

who has passed through this covered bridge

it doesn't appear old, was it rebuilt

can one wade in the creek and walk

to where an homestead used it for water

the sounds made when you drive on the wooden boards.

where do the locals work

are their days as filled with peace as i feel now

how many are native to the area

and how many moved in looking for a slower pace

ah, life. you are wondrous and filled with mystery.

"What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,

nor the human heart conceived,

what God has prepared

for those who love Him"

~ 1 Corinthians 2:9

{this just makes my heart sing

and I get soooo excited!)

there are some that come into your life for a bit

some stay longer and some leave

some remain forever

some have no choice but to leave

and return when He feels it's time

i'm celebrating and thanking him today

for bringing a sweet piece of a scary part of my past

back into my life

my heart is smiling

and i know she'll be here for a long time

for she never left my heart

and Spring arose on the garden fair

like the Spirit of Love everywhere

and each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast

rose from the dreams of it's wintry rest

Have I told you, Valentine,

That I'm all wrapped up in you?

My feelings for you bring to me

A joy I never knew.

You light up everything for me;

In my heart you shine;

Illuminating my whole life,

My darling Valentine.

I love you, Johan ~
