SONNET 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
William Shakespeare.
This old picture of Gunnar made my life shine this week.
Only Father Shakespeare's got the words to fill in .

I love this photo of your Gunnar. He was quite good looking, if you don't mind my saying so friend. And yes he seems to go right along with Shakespeare's words.
Blessings and love,
Debbie
What a sweet post!
Gunnar's bad-boy past. :) Nice post!
Gunnar in a nutshell. The most tender and empathic man under the sun, but lay off his blue suede shoes.
Be still my heart. And a very snazzy hats - very IN today. What goes around comes around.
What an extraordinarilly precious post! How eloquently you allow Mr. Shakespear to describe your Gunnar. Memories of days gone by coupled with expectations of days to come season our present with joy. You are a precious and dear friend and I treasure you, dear Felisol!
This is wonderful! the poetry goes beautifully with your Gunnar and this fabulous photo. No wonder you fell for him.
Gunnar looks so handsome
This is my favorite Shakespeare sonnet!!
