I instantly could invision my Jamie in this picture, Vonne. Excellently done, as usual. And, so true….about the love that keeps them doing what they do to take care of us. xx
RavenSoul replied
Thank you! I Know how it feel to kill yourself trying to do it all but my efforts are nothing compared to what Sam has done and continues to do everyday for his family. So glad you liked it!

Wayne Cook
He left around half-past,
The sun just peeping above the school,
He’d done this a thousand times or more,
Hard work and nobody’s fool,
She watched through the curtain,
As he strode down the tree lined street
It might have been one more day,
This one, this time she stopped, starting to weep,
It sometimes comes to us that,
Sacrifice and toil, Life is what we bought,
It was he treading those bricks to work,
God works through that graying man, she thought
One day, muscles worn,
He stopped and kissed her brow,
She realized in a moment,
All on his shoulders now.
RavenSoul replied
Very Beautiful Wayne Perfectly Put!

Karen Tillotson
Beautiful work… and a thoughtful tribute to so many like your dear husband…
Lynn Moore
Amazing RS…all I can say is I favorited it in my heart only seeing the title and thumbnail. It’s like in the movie Jerry McGuire when he comes back telling her how stupid he was and how much he loves her and at the end of his gushing she says, “You had me at hello.”
The other thought I had, is I’m grateful God is there to help me carry the load I have to carry. I couldn’t do it alone and wouldn’t want to : )
RavenSoul replied
Ahhh Lynn Thank you xxxxx
scarlet james
Seems it has all been said!.. Agree with all the accolades .. Brava!
