kisses are like wishes
we all have in us
so very many of both
but not all of us get
such a marvelous opportunity
to have someone so freely share
and bestow them upon
luck is the man or woman
who sees love for what it is
and takes a hold of it with both
hands
plants feet firmly on the ground
and dares life to try and take it
away
I think we have that
would you care to differ?..........
