One One touch of your hands One kiss from your lips And I am falling One sound of your voice One glimpse of your face And my hearts calling One moment with you One night in your arms And I am flying One final goodbye Once more alone And I am dying "I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me , this has always been enough." ~Nicholas Sparks from The Notebook |

Nice work. Unfortunately I can relate to the last stanza. "One final goodbye Once more alone And I am dying" Sad but beautiful.  |

Just one word and let it be heard, Just one time, and let it be mine. Just one thing, and love I shall bring. Just one hint, and all will be spent. Just one word is all you need say. Let it be me and I shall stay. Within your life....within your dreams, My dear, my sweet, my word is seems.... is .......RUTH < !signature--> I have learned that the pain of a lost love will fade, But the memory of having loved will last forever.

Mike...thank you so much Denise, Martie, jaxjoy and whiskey....thank you all David... Just one heart I have to give Just one life I have to live But, I want the same thing too Someone who's love will be true I don't want to be your sun I want to be your only one Until you can give your all to me Only friends is what we'll be [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (edited 01-01-2000).] |

Wonderful 1st verse Ruth....and I can understand that 2nd one. It's rough when our heart has been broken and we always will protect it. ~HUGS~ <*\\\>< Where there is faith, there is love. Where there is love, there is peace. Where there is peace, there is GOD. Where there is GOD, there is no need. Hallmark |

Ruth, another absolutely wondeful poem! One thing can do so much can't it?!? ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |

I love simplicity, and you obviously have a handle on it. REally good, i like to think that less is more. Very good, thanks. |

Ruth this is a beautiful poem and I understand you protecting you're precious heart. What comes from the heart goes to the heart. Samuel Coleridge |
