When I think of you The future gives me hope I dream to have another chance To make my life worth living To find a love worth giving Romance that springs anew A clean slate to plan upon Something we both created The bond t’which we’ve been fated Finding ourselves in one another Our peace and love to carry on Once we’ve made our mark When it is time to disembark Leaving our mark to find The same true love as we have To fulfill another’s life A word is not unlike a knife In the way that it can hurt One lesson that I hope we teach To our gift from God above And to shower them with love Appreciated for the chance to be Shapers of a future with hope And to have each other too Love one another-let God do the worrying, |

A word is not unlike a knife In the way that it can hurt One lesson that I hope we teach To our gift from God above Rodney it was the title that caught my attention. Curious to see the Irish connection, whuch I could not find any where else in the poem. What I found instead was a beautiful poem full of yearning and love. "difference between love and comfortis that comfort's more reliable and true |

A clean slate to plan upon Something we both created =========== I, too, was attracted by the title and found no connection therewith. I think most of us would take a clean slate in a New York minute Especially one that was co-created. Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. Philip Sidney (1554-1586) Loving in Truth |

Sorry for the somewhat misleading title. But my interest and subject of the poem is Irish...so it was in deference to her...although we Irish still have a yearning for love and happiness, do we not? Love one another-let God do the worrying, |
