Love has crossed my path, more than just one time Left sadness and left joy, but I know I’ll be just fine I’ve searched for happiness, and found a lot of pain Searching in all the wrong places, found nothing to gain. It wasn’t until on my computer one day That I found a place my heart would stay A place called “Passions in Poetry”, it has changed my view On just what I’ve been searching for, maybe it has changed you, too. I was searching for another love, one like in the beginning And realized through others words that I had never reached an ending I’d never been alone before, was afraid to be by myself I’d always lived for others, put my own life up on a shelf. In order to feel happiness, I thought a partner I must take Could never go on alone, no, a commitment I must make As I read more and more words, I began to realize That I really didn’t need a partner, didn’t need the lies. Happiness comes, from within our OWN heart And if we can find ours, it will never part. Today, I started searching, decided to find my own My own heart of happiness, my very own home. Susan Bartee |

Susan* It's a beautiful feeling to find love and happiness within ourselves first rather than rely on someone else to bring it...you have penned the thoughts eloquently~ |

Susan, I love this poem and understand totally how you feel about these people and this place. After a few visits, I felt so much better about myself because of the support given. Dee |

ladysixstring - Thank you so much for the compliment. JulieAnn - Thank you also and hope things go well for you in the future. Happiness lies within.... MMoonchild - Thank you and the greatest fear in my life has been to live alone without a partner, therefore, always falling into another relationship that turned out bad. Hope things get better, I know how hard it is to lose a spouse of so many years. Butterflies_dont_cry - Thank you for your reply as they do mean so very much to me. Dee - it is so true about Passions, all the strength I have gained has been through this last week reading others words. Who ever would have thought it? Miracles do happen. Mark Bohannon - I have truly come to look forward to your compliments on my poetry. Every day I just get happier and happier and it is truly because Passions has given me the strength I have been looking for and realizing that I'm not alone at all, even when I'm by myself. Happy as a Butterfly!! |

I do't think one can truly love until you let go of the fear of being alone and realizing our strength within. For when one has reached "love of yourself" loving another is so much more pure and true. Beautiful write here. Jenn E |
