Stolen
One day when I was not looking
it went missing
I always held it close
Protected it, guarded it
with care and attention
but then in a beat
it was gone
Taken from its hiding place
and without my knowledge
You stole my heart

“but then in a beat

It’s great when it happens that quickly!
Yes Phillip. it’s like “What just happened?” Thanks for reading ❤️☺️
Awww. Yep. That does tend to happen! I LOVE the visual you’ve chosen with this. So cool.
Thanks De. Super quadrille prompt! I love reading them all ❤️
Sos true. In unexpected moments it can happen. I know. It happened the first time I saw the face of my great granddaughter.
Oh yes, it happened to me too when I saw my grandkids too. It was the same with my son. Bless them all ❤️🥰
This is incredibly sweet … a quadrille for every age, child thru senior.
Thanks Helen. They say there is no timeline for love, so yes, child to senior ❤️
Great poem Christine. You are right it happens in an instant!
