In Loving Memory
Once the mightiest stood in and around the valleys of these hills, the essence of
the ocean is scented upon the winds. Man has the ability to give all that he's
got when encountering the task of life; no one said it was to be easy. Never
grovel or expect another to grovel before you. Toe the mark, and take it as it
comes. Love is not verbal, it can only be shown in the caring, like the love of
eagles or wolves. They mate for life. If one menalooses (changes worlds) then
the mate stays in solitude, to meet the one they vowed their love to in the
changing of worlds where love lives on. Some of the human beings hold true to
these very traits.
