“I don’t treasure things much – just people. And pets.”
Felicity Kendal
In Other Words, secret treasure…
She had many treasures in her lifetime; some she shared freely and openly, others were shared sparingly and quietly. But there is one that no one knows about that she has kept hidden in her heart, a gift that was given to her when she was very young and innocent. Now she is old and not so innocent and her heart will soon stop beating, but she is not afraid. In fact, she is eagerly waiting for it to be still. For once this life is done she will be free to live with her secret treasure forever.
Wow, what a moving poem, and so thoughtful.
Thank you!
Awesome!
Thanks! We all need that secret treasure in our heart.
Forgive my absence. As always I loved what you wrote. So simple and clean. And the picture so made me smile. You post the best photos Patricia. I never see them any other place. So special they are. Your site may be my favorite of all. It just cheers me. 🌹
Awww, you make me feel all squishy. Nothing to forgive, Susannah. I am always days behind in responding to comments and weeks behind in visiting. Not sure why that is…being retired one would think I would get more done. It makes me happy that you like my writing and pictures. I am a fan of yours and like to read your words and I make a point to catch up with you before anyone else.
You’re kind but reading should be enjoyable always. No pressure. I only read certain blogs I really am uplifted by. My readership is so low because I don’t play the you like me I’ll like you game. It’s all ok. I love to write. Gives me a place. ❤️
We are a lot a like! 😽
I know that. You’re just much clearer on more things than I. It’s always comforting for me to read you. You’re like fresh air Patricia. 😊
Like the quote and your story. People and pets are what counts in life!
Yes, ma am!
Beautifully said, Patricia!
I second that.
Thank you!
Very well said and love the kitty.
Have a fabulous day and week. ♥
Glad you liked it…and the kitty.
So beautiful and poignant.
Thank you!
You’re welcome 😊
