IF



If your lips have gone numb,

Kiss a woman--

They will burn with heightened sense.


If your hands have gone mute,

Touch a woman--

They will discover eloquence.


If your heart has slept too long,

Love a woman--

'Til the dawn comes back around.


And if your eyes have gone dry,

Lose a woman--

Poor sweet baby, they will drown.

    Thank you, Chella. Yes I did take that photograph last time I visited San Antonio, Texas. I also took the one at the bottom of the blog, of the side entrance to the Alamo mission.

    And yes! That's her!
