Do You Know?
By Larry Chadwick



If I told you where I hurt,
Would you make it well?
If I made my confession,
Would you listen as I tell?

It’s a secret in my heart,
I’ve kept it very well.
If I make it known,
Would it break your heart as well?

I find it hard to let it out,
To make it that well known,
I’ve kept it very close to me,
Something I could call my own.

So until I know for sure,
I’ll keep it to myself.
Stored inside of me,
In my heart upon a shelf.

February 20, 2002

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Larry, I hope sooner or later you reveal this secret, for I have learned that holding these secrets can hurt us in time and it helps so mcuh more and is worth it if it is shared as soon as possible! (big hugggsssss) My heart goes out to you, sweet friend, I hope all is well, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Larry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Larry,

     I like this. I have secrets that some will never know.   Sometimes, although I have been told it's wrong, I think it is best that way.  I enjoyed.

Hugs,
Tara

Larry~

We all have secrets, and I know this one well....you just have that way about you, that makes all you write from the heart....


Lauren~

Step through the
barrier of my mind,
enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows
of my heart

Larry - Really liked this one a lot.  Especially because I am one who has left to many things left unsaid.  Some might say I've become a mute.lol

Are we supposed to call you Larry or Larissa?

Great job!
