Immature – Word of the Day

“Impatience is a great obstacle to success; he who treats everything with brusqueness gathers nothing, or only immature fruit which will never ripen.”  Napoleon Bonaparte

 

 So Green

We were young then, not quite ripe,
so green but O so eager,
as we dipped into each other,
and with a little sugar and spice
the recipe has hung together quite well.

    Paul, I love this! It’s simple and sweet – and the format demonstrates the newness with sugar added 🙂 Thank you!
    Have a great week,
    Blessings,
    Debbie
