For my friend...with all my understanding. Angelo's Window Tonight there's someone out there sitting all alone Needing to hear the voice of the one who loves him so He's gazing out the window thinking of her face Wishing he were in Another time and place Duty keeps him bound to a life he can't abide His heart taken for granted His kindness pushed aside He ponders on another life with one who understands She accepts his love so gratefully Makes him feel like a man He knows that there are many years of waiting left in store He smiles at the thought of his little children so adored He cannot leave them now His soulmate understands She always puts them first and waits to hold his hand Though he knows it isn't fair to ask her to wait for years She says she will stand by him and tells him not to fear He prays the time is soon when they can be together When he can revel in her heart and cherish her forever He looks once more out the window In the glass he sees her face The woman he will always love and her heart of patient grace © caroline 1999 It's not the love you fear, but the fall from the height~Edwin McCain |

This is beautiful! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |

Very lovely, very true. And above all, it's one word description: beautiful. ~Astraea "Sometimes stars can only be seen in darkness." "Sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things." |

Wow!!! HUGS Don't ask me where I'm going, just listen when I'm gone and far away you'll hear me singing softly to the dawn. |

How did you manage to hide so well outside my window and read my thoughts so well? Excellent work, Caroline. |

Thank you all for your lovely responses...I wrote this while thinking of a friend who cannot be where he wants to be at this time. He is a wonderful person caught in a sad situation. I hope someday his dreams come true, as he deserves the best. It's not the love you fear, but the fall from the height~Edwin McCain |

Certainly there are many kinds of prisons - one's own mind, love, desire, guilt, fear, bars ... and you have done an excellent job describing a situation which could be applied to many sets of circumstances! ...Living is ever like crossing rivers; finding a new life on each shore ... RJG |
