Sharing Moments of Living Around the World thru Stories and photos


The wind carried a leaf to me today, Captured in its’ withered veins was your memory. A cool breeze carried a tear, As gently as you came, it ran down my cheek. Lost from this tree of life, Waiting for rebirth in our next Spring.

This Is the Life-Changing Reason Why I’ll Write
