Maybe I Am

~*Marge Tindal*~

Maybe I am soft and romantic.
Yet I wonder at the strength in me.
I hear the stroke of harps where there are no angels.
My mind sees visions I've only dreamed of.
My wants are few ... and include you.
Maybe I am soft and romantic.

Pretending does not hold me in mesmerize.
For I feel too much to pretend.
I touch the arc of the rainbow in you.
Worrying that you will fade with the sun.
I cry at the drop of a heart.
Maybe I am soft and romantic.

I fully comprehend the chances we take.
Understanding that a passionate heart can break.
I say let it be, if only for a little while.
I dream that upon awakening -
you will have dreamed of me too.
I try to share all that I am.
And hope that it is enough.
Maybe I am soft and romantic.

Then again, maybe I'm a dreamer.
But, Oh how I dream.

From my own POV - there is no compliment given that exceeds "I feel it myself and wish I'd written it myself" - Please accept this in that spirit.

Margie girl, no MAYBE about it, you are all that and then some. And you should have added that you are the brightest and the best. Because you know it's the clear truth.
Love it Margie girl, I really do

And maybe I ain't a cowboy.....yeah right.  You are the romantic and you are the heart and you are the spirit that makes this home shine.  I know this because of the large statue that Ron erected outside the doors to Passions in the likeness of you.  Hugging you for this one my friend.

Maybe you have immense talent and flair -
When one needs a friend, you're always there.
Maybe you have your own doubts and fears
But you lend a shoulder for other folks tears.
Passions' cheerleader, your caring heart beams -
We all benefit from this dreamer's dreams!!
