Designed fortress,
yet, I am not afraid.
Secluded
Unknown fears planted,
but, I welcome them.
Determined
You, pushing me away,
seemingly, draws me closer.
Zealous
Duration til discovery,
refuses to prevent me.
Willing
Walls surrounding you,
I love them, too.
Consistent
Calmly aware,
I could die this way.
Yearning
More frightening,
You’ll let me.
Yours
Oldest Daughter & Red Headed Sister

Michael McGuire, you’re teasing me, I think. Fearless Audrey sounds fantastic, but rest assured I’d be behind you hiding my face in your back with an occasional peek over your shoulder. In the end, I’m very girly. 😉 Thank you for your visit. ♡

Thank you, Sir… Seems many situations deserve the qualities you describe, however, sometimes we know when to walk away. A loving heart is deserving of your praise and the better for it.
Thank you. Always, jf. xxx
