Thanks--I really needed a good chuckle! I've only been to Montana once, but I know enough about the state to appreciate those descriptions. (The four seasons: winter...road construction. Heeheehee.) -Shirley :)

The Gift of Life

The Gift of Life
"I didn't give you the gift of life,
But in my heart I know.
The love I feel is deep and real,
As if it had been so.
For us to have each other
Is like a dream come true!
No, I didn't give you The gift of life,
Life gave me the gift of you."
