Opinions
The rarest finds that you will see are those that come less frequently
When you have time to miss something the longing pulls at your heartstrings
You treasure life that fades away realizing that nothing can stay
Holding onto all that you know when you are forced to let it go
Seeking the warmth you hold so dear that only comes in a leap year
