"Circle of Love", a poem for book two.

My love gave me a silver bracelet, and we danced the night away dreaming that love would always stay. My love asked me to marry him as we hugged in the dim light of the streetlight. My love stayed - though I went away for many a day and night. The circle of life and love was so right even out of sight those many, many years. Oh my love,destiny decided it was to be...you see. I chose to come back. The circle of love is still going around and around.

From Decision or Destiny

A poem written by Noel and used for Michael and Dianna's wedding:

Love lot, love more, love grow in a pot; but sometimes tore...never on the spot.
But our love is never tore...it is always more.


"Maybe it was maturity, being in my fifties, or just simply finding love again," I said to Noel. "Yes, I found him and went after him like today was all that ever mattered. Our life together is real because I decided to make my own destiny..."

Book Signings

More book signings are planned for April and May. I will publish the times and places soon. I have plans for a local reading and signing at a popular Bed & Breakfast in town - TBA.

Waupaca is another site for a book signing - close to the covered bridge and Chapel in the Woods. Part of the story takes place in that location and with spring and summer weddings coming up, I would enjoy telling my story to prospective brides and grooms too!

Stay turned for the exact dates,times and places. And enjoy spring - even though our Wisconsin winter may not leave us alone.

What is Dianna's anwer to Michael's question from almost four decades ago?

I was living my destiny, I was happy and life was good. Something was still missing...

Okay Dianna, I said to myself. It's the right time to make a decision. Michael loves me and I love him with all of my heart and I tremble with excitement whenever he walks in to room. I won't procrastinate or tempt fate - it's now or never.

Michael was relaxing in his recliner and I knelt next to him, smiled and said, "You know that question you asked me in 1959? Yes!"

Another letter from Michael to Dianna

August 3, 1993

My Lady D,
It's only 6:47 p.m.and I miss your presence, your smile, your charm, your warmth. Lady, I just simply miss you!

I used to wonder what I was waiting for, and why there was always something that felt "not quite right." But since you've come into my life, I've learned the answer to my question...I was simply waiting for you!

My heart is heavy, but I know you're coming back. That makes waiting much easier. Please tell that train to hurry and get back home.

Just knowing you again, reading all your charming love notes makes a grown-up man like me realize just how lucky I am.

Always, with deepest love,
Michael
