A Thought to Comfort You
From the Writings of Emily Matthews
Imagine, if you can, a place where mountains meet the sky. Where fragrant flowers fill the air and winding streams flow by...Imagine, if you can, a world where joy replaces grief, For thinking of this wondrous place will bring your heart relief.
Thinking of you today and wishing you comfort and peace of mind.
Love ya!
