Sacrament of Love

written by: Peg Prendeville

Fondly stroke the soft skin,
Relaxing them both.

Bridie is just a wife, mother and grandmother who loves to write. She is a retired teacher and is also a busy photographer. She lives with her husband in the countryside in west Limerick. Her late dad was a popular and successful poet and author. She discovered that she had a flair for writing following retirement when life slowed down a little.
