My afternoon began and ended on a high
I am elated, excited and so so happy.
What could have been an embarrassment
Developed into an experience beyond all measure.
It could not have happened without your help
That one thought, became our afternoon.
After a miserable morning
All seemed lost, hopeless even.
You enthused, encouraged, cheered
Supported my idea, watching it blossom
Before our eyes all possibilities explored
A climatic conclusion, surprised us all.
Now I am smiling, the smile of the contented
We searched, we supported, we took a chance
One that paid off, that left us satisfied,
For life is a delicious risk.

so love when risks are taken and they pay off. Leaves me wondering what could have been the embarrassment though? Nice write Michael and interesting picture to accompany.
Thanks Jenny every risk is accompanied with a potential embarrassment.
