I agree dear Cherrie. My grandmother had a small home and we never felt alone. We felt safe. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

Yes, as I think back those tiny places always had the most to offer.

I agree dear Cherrie. We can find sweet places if we look.
Brevity, logic and truth at their best. Cherrie! Those tiny places can shimmy, as you know, however - circling the mind, touching funny bones.. leaving smiles in their wake. What matters is what matters, eventually.

Somehow the biggest hearts also seem to reside in the smallest folk, two of our closest friend bearing this out as true :)

We have been doing well, considering the year, I feel very blessed
And it makes you understand those weird sayings mums always say, like "it's always in the last place you look."
Or "it's always when you're not looking that you find it" So I closed my eyes and walked into a tree.

Doggone mom she should of told you to open your eyes. :)
wonderfully put...and it is the truth.
Those big loves somehow know how to squeeze in where there had seemed no room.
It is like two people who have been hurt in previous relationships, leaving little room for a new love,
and yet in those tight spaces they meet...and boom...love happens.

Yes, it is true. :) a true can grow anywhere
A compacted poem that in its brevity makes a huge statement about the nature of love that may seem small but like Dr Who's Tardis is filled full with plenty space for love to flourish!
