It Matters Little

"found in the archives"...

It matters little

where we spend our time,

as long as we

spend it together...

and

it matters little

whether we’re apart,

as long as our spirits

are with each other..

and

it matters little

that we’re in love,

if it is not

with one another...

Oh! What strength in simplicity! Loved it!

[Sometimes Blood]

beautifully penned.

[Becky C Strukamp]

Wow, this is wonderful! The right words just seem to flow from your lips ...and I savor each and every one of them. Excellent!

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

I had to go back and read that last line and think about it.....and think about it.....and think about it. For some reason it punched me right in the stomach and tore at my heart.....love this one.

[Audrey Howitt]

Really a lovely, lovely piece!

[Mark]

The universality of love, in it's ability to transcend time and distance, is not a new theme, but you have done it tremendous justice in this lovely piece, Allen.

now that is what i called love, nice write Allen, enjoyed this and hope you get the photo downloaded soon, be nice to see. I tried to review more of the chapters from your autobiography 'My Life' but i see there are no more to review yet, and here's me worrying that i was behind with my reviews! Bye for now. Trish.

short and sweet and wonderful

[Wolf's Dark Song]

I've had the problem with downloading a photo.
I like your poem. It's so very true. We need to remember what is really important.

[Leslie Philibert]

Excellent short poem from Allen, with a lot of thought as well as a good structure, very disciplined write. I wouldn`t worry about photos, good writers like yourself do well with words !
