This poem is just a few hours old, and I am proud to post it here today. It has been so long since my sister wrote anything new, I was beginning to think that part of our lives was over. I hope you enjoy The Crooked Path as much as I do!

Time and water seem extra precious these days, so this poem by Anita hits that nail on the head… Time trapped in a rain drop. The watch maker said it was beyond price. More precious than silver, gold, diamonds? It has been here from the beginning His wish was to take charge of it. He…

A pot of Rosemary and one of Anita’s poems. I swear this one was written for me! This poem is an acrostic for the word Unforgettable. I must try to remember that message… Love from Jaye
