To see what I see,
And to have been where I’ve been;
Is to feel what I feel,
In my heart.

To love as I once loved,
And to be left as I was;
Is to know what I think,
In my mind.

To live in my soul,
And to show what I show;
Is to know of the pain,
Inside.

This poet, my best friend, does not have access to the internet; however, I told her of this wonderful community and she asked me to submit three of her poems, this one and two others, which I have along with this same message.  I have set up an e-mail account for her, which I will check daily, incase there is anything you wish to communicate directly to her.  I will print out all replies and e-mails then deliver them to her.< !signature-->

Love is the law, love under will.
