PTSW - My Own: Dedication

I have played with words since childhood, trying to fully tell my darkest fears, wildest wonders, deepest joys --- and sometimes just some silliness. I will store these, my own, here. When I gave a small booklet of verse to Sheila back in the nineties, I used this bit as a dedication.

For Sheila, Brannon and Lillian

The one I chose, who chose me too;

The one we planned, who startles so;

The one for all, who’s most her own—

To find this place, with the three of you;

And all our love!  

  Any foregone woe,

The terrors and tears in years alone, 

I count as only paving stone.
