Too Lonely We used to come here every spring, Before the wild gorse turned to gold. He always told me he was king Of all the beauty we'd behold. We'd walk the cliffs, explore the beach And relish being in the sun. Stay beyond the sly surf's reach And watch sandpipers skip and run. I had to come here just once more To see if I could bear to stay Along this rugged, empty shore, Now that my love has gone away. I'm leaving, for it's lost its charm. Although I'll always love the sea, Without the comfort of his arm, It is too lonely here, for me! Betty Lou Hebert [This message has been edited by Trillium (06-20-2004 07:50 AM).] |

Michelle and Barb: Gorse is a bush that grows in rather barren areas and is prevalent along the Oregon Coast. It turns some of the hills to gold. Here's a link so you can read about it. http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/g/gorgol31.html Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

I'm leaving, for it's lost its charm. Although I'll always love the sea, Without the comfort of his arm, It is too lonely here, for me! Sad but lovely ending... Your last name is Hebert? You wouldn't happen to be a fellow cajun transplanted to Idaho would you? |

Betty lou this is breath-takingly sad. A very poignant poem that aches the heart to read. You have such a way with expression of emotions. Also Here in UK Gorse is very common so I got the picture very quickly. Lovely lovely work. hugs from June x  |

Dear June: Thanks for such lovely comments. I always appreciate hearing from you. My sister visited England about 20 years ago and she told me about the gorse there. She thought it was beautiful. Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

PKreturns. Thanks for replying to my message. My family is from France, and Quebec, but by the time I came along, some of them had settled in Alberta. That's where most of them still are. Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

Dear Betty Lou, I was so touched by your words, that I felt tears in my eyes. I've also felt the lonliness. Love, Patricia 'When you find a dream within your heart, don't ever let it go. |
