Comment from Bill Schott

Excellent

This monoku, Navy days, has the proper formatting and sends up a remembrance for a seaman now out of port, following the headwinds o'er the glistening brine to the full sale locker.

Comment from Michael Hemingstreet

Good

It's hard to do romance. Romance done we'll starts with an event that doesn't work like an argument and two people not getting along then they get caught up in danger and find danger brings their differences together. If love is flat then what is the point of love? Love is a struggle.

Hi Michael, love can hurt,
love can heal. We humans
go through many emotions,
and genuine strong lasting
love is so sought after. Some
get this kind of love, and,
sadly, some don't. Thank
you for the 4 star review.
Many blessings to you.

Regina this is so beautifully well-spoken. The background color is mellow and the picture ads to the intent and encouraging meaning.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful work!
