The shadow of your smile

Is the song my jewel box sings

I open it and listen wistfully

Such memories it brings

My fingers are crossed for your son Elsie. I have a jewel box that my husband bought for me when we first got engaged which plays "Fur Elise." How much of a coinky-dink is THAT??? Ok, it isn't Fur ELSIE, but that's pretty darned close!
Elsie Duggan Aug 13, 2009, 9:46pm EDT
My daughter had 'Fir Elise played when I was seated at her wedding, it was a special song to her, and she named her daughter Elise as I have another grand daughter named Elsie. I love that jewelry box, and I bet you love yours too, they are very special gifts from a man.

Hi Elsie ~ I had overlooked this beautiful Snippet because it was entered in on August 5th. The closing date to Our 2nd Snippets CHALLENGE on the topic of SHADOWS was August 4th. But, because you are so SPECIAL to us (LOL), and because this is your first Snippets CHALLENGE, this Snippet has been entered into Our 2nd Snippets CHALLENGE on the topic of SHADOWS as your 4th entry!

I'll update the TALLY to reflect this one.

It is a perfect "22" SHADOW~of~your~SMILE~Style Snippet!

I love this one because it is the "song" your jewel box sings ~ I'm smiling very brightly Elsie. Thank you for pointing this one out, I would have missed it.

HUGS & LOVE,
Rene
René Allen Sep 30, 2009, 10:29pm EDT
OH, and Elsie ~ This is CURRENTLY FEATURED in Snippets!
Elsie Duggan Sep 30, 2009, 10:55pm EDT
Thank you so much Rene, I was in such a hurry, I wanted to take a photo up of it that night, but didn't have time, it was my 25th anniversary gift from my husband and is a sterling sliver engraved heart, with flowers and birds, with red velvet lining and it sings
The Shadow of Your Smile, I have always cherished it, I am such an old softy.

Love that song...and the snippet!
