We wonder sometimes about that caveman to step outside of the cave, or that first monkey to climb down from is tree. Life, like love is taking a chance everyday that you awake. Thanks Lady

Beyond being so very literate, this poem simply glows with passion and gratitude. It gives me hope in humanity that such a person as you lives on the same beloved Earth as I. I feel very glad that you have experienced this and that I have at least a remote connection to your very special being, dear Elke. Warmly, Jim

Your warm words make me blush, dear Jim! I am just an ordinary person like anyone else. We all belong to the human species. We were born on this planet in different appearance and with different attitudes. We should support one another instead of bringing us down and fighting us. Thanks a lot for your gracious comment!

There is a universe of emotion packed into this poem. When connection is made, miles mean nothing. Beautiful, Elke

The song is really beautiful, warm and joyous… as I was reading I could feel the melody and beat of it, I love the repeation and alternation between “I” and “you”, it’s like making vows between each other, a truly romantic and lovely love poem.

Chère L.,
Since I’m a quarter French, a typical French start.
Hope this finds you well.If this comment is what you meant in the message?
If you intended to send me a poem (?), please send it to the e mail address:
Duhsjaak.13@gmail.comThank you anyway very very much for the compliments.
I’ll pass half of them to Michael A who wrote the lyrics.À same lyrics challenge, means that everyone who wants to be involved, writes a song to the same lyrics.
I believe that roughly 15 persons participated. But I’m not sure. It’s 7 years ago?!Grateful for your read and listen!
Warm regards, Gus

Chère C.,
Now nice to see you again.
I must have done something wrong, since the reply I typed was lost. Sorry for that.Anyway, I am grateful for your listen. Also on behalf of Michael A of course.
See you around!
Warm regards, Gus -

Chère I.,
Hope this finds you well.There is an English saying, I believe. Something like: A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
In this case the thing of beauty is Michael A’s Two hearts in the snow.
About 8 years old and we’re still thinking the same way about it.I’m grateful for ‘finding’ you again and grateful for your listen.
Al in all, this song has an amazing amount of listens since Michael A and I first posted it of approx 10.500. Depending on which fora iinclude in the counting.These figures seem harder nd harder to get in the post Corona times, but maybe you and me will team up for a coop?
It’s the talents like yours that keep on shining the forums nowadays.Thank you so much for the compliments!
Also on behalf of Michael A of course!
Warm regards, Gus

I wonder sometimes if we’re too afraid to take a chance…because it might succeed and then where would we be? I’ve certainly been that person. The unknown can be terrifying. But so worth the risk
