If words could make wishes come true
This would be the wish I wish for you
That you would know joy and happiness every day
That nothing but sun would brighten your way

If tears could take away the pain
Mine would fill you rivers again and again
So that your heart would never feel the sting
That comes with the problems life can bring

If arms could hold life and love
Mine would give you the sun and stars above
That you would know you are never really alone
To give you the greatest love ever known

Your heart always is an open book my friend.  I never read any ones poetry, that so easily allows the flow of emotion from pen to paper.

My God, now this is simply beautiful and moving.  As always you touch my heart.  "IF" only all men were like you.  You should move down here and hold a seminar and teach them a thing or two...and I could be your manager and of course, we could make millions, but remember I get 70% (that's what I MADE you agree on last time)  LOL  

Take care,
Melissa Honeybee

Marina, an open book indeed. . . thank you my friend. . .

Bonnie, thank you. . .

ethome, thank you, glad that you liked it. . .

kitkat, thank you my friend. . .

Melissa, as always, you give me far too much credit my friend. . . and I'm sure that most men are like me. . . they just have trouble saying it. . . and a seminar??  I'm kinda shy you know. . . LOL     But I still think that we're going to have to work out this 70/30 thing!!
