1.

 

or mortal hear, a little chin.  a little foot. 

trouts.  and hooks. 

 

are tumble.  and pie.  and loss

and loving at all times

 

are to loss.  and loving at all times. 

closer. 

 

at hand.  a hand, or, in prosperity.  in melon

closer. 

 

in company. 

it is a man.  it is a woman. 

 

this is the scene in your favorite movie. 

this is the journey taken on foot.

this little hand is something to date things by. 

 

and given, to loss, and to loving at all times. 

closer, at hand
