HAVE A GREAT TUESDAY!

Hello, my friend,
As the Spinners sung,
"WHENEVER YOU CALL ME,
WHENEVER YOU NEED ME
I'LL BE AROUND”

Room... my heart and soul is endless,
My time is only for those who take me as I am
You can have me
But if you break me
I have already forgiving you
As God would have me to do
So come to me
Love me
Try to understand me
If you can't
Don't fear me
Just take more time
To know me
My friend

A passage from my best selling romance novel, BRUSH STROKES @ Amazon. com
“A man may admire what a woman does for a living; he may admire her education and social circle. He may be enamored with her physical beauty, but he only truly falls in love, with the softest and warmest part of her, her soul.”
