These words are very personal for my family and I and Scott’s photo couldn’t have been more perfect. This is the last of the “Scott & Scott” collaborating collection, but maybe there’ll be more in the future. 🙂 ♥
Thanks, Chris! I had two choices for this photo and Scott chose this poem. I’m glad he did because the more I look at his stunning photo, it’s a better match. The sun will shine once again…sending you hugs! ♥
Thanks, Marina, I’m not sure if it’ll happen, but it definitely has been fun! Another friend thought of the “Scott & Scott” and I thought it was cute…:) xx
I try to most of the time, Geraldine, but I’m human. 🙂 There are times I wish I weren’t and could manage my emotions a little better. The storm will be around indefinitely; it’s complicated. But we try to be optimistic and keep the faith, which is what I write about. 🙂 Thanks so much for your lovely complement on both Scott’s photo and my poem. Hope you’re doing well, too! Hugs back!
Yes, we must keep those candles lit for faith and hope and belief, Lauren! Scott and Scott has been a serenely beautiful collaboration and look forward to more that comes from it. Blessings. XO ♥
Thanks so much for all your encouragement, Diane! I’m also glad you enjoyed this collaborating collection with Scott. It was fun and something different for me…Hugs and blessings to you! ♥ xo
Thanks, Scott! It’s not the deepest poem, but meaningful, for sure and the honor is mine, too, for being able to use your photos. Collaborating was fun so thanks again and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Overwhelming cloud formations and promising poetic words escaping the clouds …
