Stars fading, but I linger on, dear.

Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you.
But in your dreams whatever they be, dream a little dream of me.

A Chesapeake Romance

 
For Elizabeth

by Andrea Lena DiMaggio

 

these are days you'll remember
never before and never since, I promise
will the whole world be warm as this
and as you feel it, you'll know it's true
that you are blessed and lucky
it's true, that you are touched by something
that will grow and bloom in you

Candace wiped the tear from her face and looked away. Something was going on inside her; something she thought would never happen. The memory of the kiss brought back more than the past. It brought back that feeling she had lost since then…that she wasn’t a pretender. She wasn’t deluded or foolish, and she could look in the mirror once again and accept that she could be loved.

Please Note: This story is a continuation of The Greatest of These, picking up ten years after the end of Chapter Two.

Happy Birthday, Teddy Carruthers!
No amount of radioactive insects or clouds or nuclear-enhanced drugs could have made more of a difference than what Teddy Caruthers had already been born with. You know how they say that with much power comes much responsibility? Well, with new and wondrous and exciting power comes way too much responsibility for a seventeen year old, and it wasn’t like he couldn’t handle it. Maybe fate picked him and his forbears just for the reason that he was raised to be responsible and kind and sweet.

In a Lifetime

And as the rain it falls
Begin again
Heavy in my heart
As the storm breaks through
Believe the light in you
So the light shines in you
Without color, faded and worn
Torn asunder in the storm

Jealous of the girl who caught your eye
One of my darker days
When you looked at her where was I?

All alone imagining what could have been
If I had been there

Healing Happens

You might as well have been tied down…
tied down to a rail road track
You might as well have been pushed off
Niagara Falls in a paper sack
You might as well have been locked out
pushed down or held back
You might as well have been subjected to
something that you could not hack

Hope Has A Place

by Andrea Lena DiMaggio
 
One look at love, and you may see
It weaves a web over mystery
All raveled threads can rend apart
For hope has a place in the lover's heart
Hope has a place in a lover's heart
