building a foundation for true love takes dedication, determination, and time.




Bricks of Love

If I carried a brick a day
And placed it on the ground,

Then you placed another 
From the ones you've found,

We could build an arbor
That would stand the test of time--


A foundation built on love,
A place for growing vines.

As rose upon rose bloom overhead,
And words upon words are tenderly said,
We will grow together creating unity.

It all starts with bricks of love--

One from you and one from me.

Laying those bricks together so that they will stand up to the test of time and every thing else as well. True love indeed. Great work my friend; I am glad I found this one.

So wise, so wonderful, so true!
What a beautiful way to explain the
