(I wrote this over 35 years ago) < !signature-->Love's Strength Our love will give us strength to endure all those lonely years ahead till we are one. Though each day a year without the sun that shines but on stolen moments so small which are far between and hard to recall. And days are more unbearable alone. Beloved this loneliness can't be done. There should not be this loneliness, this wall of miles that separates our hearts; Oh Fall! and let us share oneness as yet unwon. Love's strength cannot hold up this lonely wall, but desires to destroy and see love's sun bring light and love for eternal recall of joy as love's strength dwells in the hearts of one. 02 [This message has been edited by ellie LeJeune (edited 05-26-2000).] |

and let us share oneness as yet unwon. Love's strength cannot hold up this lonely wall, but desires to destroy and see love's sun bright light and love for eternal recall of joy as love's strength dwells in the hearts of one. I really enjoyed your poem, and the conflict of emotions. thanks for sharing. ------------------------ "Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?

Our love will give us strength to endure all those lonely years ahead till we are one. Though each day a year without the sun that shines but on stolen moments so small which are far between and hard to recall. ------------- Ellie, this is so beautiful, and the fact that it was written so long ago shows you have possed this wisdom and grace in oyur heart a lifetime. wonderful sentiments in this piece piece my sweet and kind friend. take care, jm Some things cannot be explained by verses that rhyme, They are not measured by the commitment of time. Some emotions run too deep to be described by words, Forgiveness and understanding-remain the most beautiful words ever heard. ~Janet Marie~ "What the caterpillar calls the end ... The world calls a butterfly" ~Lao Tze Tao~ ~Butterflies are meant to be free~ |
