Never Before My arms have not held you Not ever before So why is it then It’s you they long for My hands have not touched you Traced the curve of your face Then why is it no one Can take your place My ears have not heard you Not one single word Though your words are the sweetest That I’ve ever heard My lips have not touched yours With kisses so fine Then why is it my lips Can taste your sweet wine My eyes have not seen you So how can it be When I look in my heart It’s you that I see Your my friend and my confidant So please don’t forget How much that I love you Though we haven’t met ------------------ Man can not discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.

A gift was given you the day that you were born, then it was passed to all of us the day your pen found paper, now we all delight in the gift of love that you so beautifully speak of. |

Beautiful Hoot....It saddened me. You took the words right out of my heart. I had an experience this weekend in which your poem describes exactly what was going through my mind....I loved your poem. ------------------ "I Believe we are divine by nature." -Jewel Grace is the refinement of a soul over time. -Jewel |
