I Behold Love ... ~Marge Tindal~ 1999 Though I understand it, for some it may be very hard, to understand that I just might love that old dog out in the yard. My heart tells me there is something so special about a friend. I guess I have to admit, I'm guilty of loving again. A child that laughs from the heart of innocence you see, grabs my heart in a loving way and is very special to me. I've loved an old pair of shoes that fit me really well, and mourned the fact that at first, they really hurt like hell. I've loved the flowers out on the lawn. I've watched them grow and then they were gone. I've loved the moon's glow as it starts it's trek, across the sky as I craned my neck. I've loved the sun that kissed the day and returned each morning in a new array. I've loved the way you held me, when the night was going fast. I've loved the way you breathed my name, as though it were the last. I've loved the heritage of my people, as they returned to me in thought. I've loved their quest of peace, even though, battles they fought. I've known the love of a sweetheart, caught in the throes of lust. I've known the love of many who I have come to trust. I've loved a husband for many years, and others that needed love through their tears. I've loved the kiss of a child, I've loved the kiss of a man. I've loved the precious babies, God placed in my hands. I've loved my children with the most love I could give. It's been returned within this heart to live. I've loved my sisters, I've loved my brothers. I loved my father and my mother. I've known the love of my Maker, and returned the love to Him. I've thanked Him many times for the love I have within. You may tell me what love is to you, for I have known it so many times. I love to write of love, in my little rhymes. No matter what happens, you can rest assured, I'll always have love, for to it I am lured. Love makes the world go round. It's mine to give and receive. I do it so willingly, for I truly do believe ... love is in the heart of the beholder. I behold love. ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Jesus said, "The light of the body is the eye. If your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light." You obviously have very bright eyes. |

Lovely poem, Marge. And I think you are right ------------------ Yesterday is history, tomorrow just a mystery. And if today is good to me how could I ask for more? |
