Whence love first burst upon my breast,
In stunned surprise, I saw it there,
Too tender to take within my hands,
For fear to lose, or drive away
But love, it took itself to me,
Regarding not my spirit's trial,
And wrap't it's heart around my soul,
To bide til time stole it away
Yet deepest within my aching heart,
Bode love from echoes of eras past,
'Gainst all hope, to kindle anew,
That which I knew as lost to me.
Now I feel that I have again,
Driven away that which He gave,
Too tender to take within my hands,
For fear to lose, or drive away.
For fear to lose...again.

About Me
- The Ol' Abbot
- Bastrop, Texas, United States
- I live deep in the pine & oak forests of Texas, in an A-frame I call Wolf Lodge at Misty Pines. I share a bond with the creatures that stroll thru it & the spirit of the natural beauty that surrounds it. My beloved late wife & I were deeply in love for more than 3 decades, after spending most of our lives without the experience of caring or affection. Around us we gathered a family, most of which has no biological link to us. The Father our Creator had a wonderful surprise for me after she passed in 2008: He sent me love again when I expected none ever again. I wed my High School Sweetheart in November, 2009. Now, as we work to make the Lodge our own, we do life as best we can, seeking & sharing the Father's many blessings, & working thru The Process of Family.
