Oh my Richard, your words have found their way into a special place within my heart and has left me breathless. This is a beautifully penned Sonnet that will leave many feeling it was penned just for them. I’m wondering how you got your hands on that picture of me? You know that I’m a hot blooded red-headed Italian minx and the picture portrays me perfectly. 😏.
Richard, you are a Wonderful Sonneteer and Your words have warmed me up quite nicely on this cold Sunday night. I’m Leaving you with warm thoughts and hopes of sweet dreams my dear man. Thanks for sharing YOU with us again Richard. Mary Jo😇

Thank you, Mary Jo,
Your appreciative and warming words are high praise, encouragement, and inspiring thanks indeed, to a bard's rusty olde pen.

Bless you with a "WONDERFULLY HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON & GREAT NEW YEAR!" ⁓ Richard : )

a dream is a dream, it can be and it can't be, but it's never less than "real". for a one who lives on dreams, dreaming, a dream... these words not only flow ethereally gentle as only heaven's gentleness can be, that kindness and care can't be written with a more softer elegant touch, but they also find their fine heavenly ways to dwell deep within "a dream"and what it feels to "dream" itself.

Thank You, darling Richard.

Not often enough do I receive a review that closes with "darling" Richard, but you have me smiling from every pore! 😁
How true your words, Gh … dreams for a dreamer are their bright reality, and for some of us, that's all we really have that sustains and fulfills our deepest, most ardent wishes and desires.

You are so very welcome, and I thank you sincerely for such a beautiful review … big hugs! ⁓ Richard : )

I wish You a most beautiful wondrous Christmas day ✨

NO changing … I'm keeping it! 😊
"I, TOO, WISH YOU A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS & A MOST WONDERFUL 2019!"
