I heard you say my name today And felt my heart suddenly sway I felt sick and my mind lost hope For until that time I could cope But then I heard you speak me And all my defenses go and flee Your lips kissed my name today It was like you’d not been away I could see my heart run to you And that’s what I wanted to do It would have been easy to yield For my soul has lost hopes shield I felt your eyes caress me today And I heard my soul softly say Come back to my loving heart Why not try a brand new start My mind screamed in despair For it recalls we’ve been there Your heart called out to me today And I couldn’t just turn it away I’m so used to answering your call My heart replies instantly it’s a fool To walk into a trap where I’ve been Is foolish it should be a mortal sin I felt the summons of you today And I nearly gave myself away I could feel my heart giving in To be with you, feel you within But I’m a treasure not just dross I’m my gift, and this is your loss Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

never give yourself away love. . . unless you're going to be in good hands. . . this one goes in the Library. . . it's absolutely wonderful. . .  --------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Marsha... I felt the summons of you today And I nearly gave myself away I could feel my heart giving in To be with you, feel you within But I’m a treasure not just dross I’m my gift, and this is your loss This says it all my sweet friend.. Keep yourself for yourself till the "right" one comes to sweep you away..Much love and hugs to you... ~LL~ < !signature--> The way to love anything is to realize it might be lost. author unknown [This message has been edited by Lady Lightning (edited 01-14-2001).] |

Kari love, thank you as always I will write as long as there is a light in my eyes and a beat in my heart. And I will keep stretching as long as my Kari gives me stretching exercises. (Of course that is assuming that you can get me to work harder dear heart.) Take care love as always Majestic Marsha Sven love, I promise I won’t dear heart, and the next time I even consider it, just give me a gentle reminder. Something like a clip round the ear could do it love. Thank you for the wonderful love it’s as always muchly appreciated Take care love Mushy LL love, thank you so muchly I promise I shall use the Mushy cross code, it’s a bit like the green cross code, but for adults. Stop, take note, think and if no bells ring proceed but with caution. And only ever slowly Take care love Mushy Janet Marie love, thank you it’s a wonderful song, and I appreciate you sharing it with me. I’ve not heard this one but I will try top find it. And thank you for the encouragement, always Take care love Mushy Circe love, thank you sweetie, I will try, and for those times that are hard, I’ll reach out to my phoenix sisters and they will help. Thank you so very much love for all your support. Take care love Mushy Pixydust, thank you very muchly, I’ll get through it, with the loving help from my friends. And writing it all helps clear out the soul. Take care, Mushy Elise, thank you so very much love, yes you think you’re coming out of it but then something happens and you’re not. I appreciate always you coming and replying Take care, Mushy Poeminister, I thank you truly Take care, Mushy Dee love, Oh love! I did dear heart? Well, if I did it is about time love isn’t it. You always had faith in me far more than I’ve ever had it’s true. I won’t be going back, returning to the scene of the crime has never done anyone any good. Thank you always love, you’re one of the good girls. Take care, love Bubbles Serenity love, thank you so very much, my friend. It is about time that I put some effort into it I know. I will work if I’m made to you know, it’s what is always on my annual appraisals, could do better, if only she’d apply herself. (That’s the sticking point it means WORK! I know) Take care, love Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

I think many of us should write that last verse on our hands... so that we read it and remember every time we hear that call and start to reach out. *S* Well done! |
