Special one

(Dedicated to Neha)

I hear a sweet and mellow voice
God’s lovely, lovely choice
a little angel chirping from her window sill
sending heavenly music into my ears
a voice so sweet and pure.

I can almost see her beauty
her hair, so fair
adore her face
and eyes so bright
sparkling just right
as she searches and calls
for a special someone to share her life.

I see her young bright eyes
why are they filled with tears?
why is her heart so heavy?
as she looks and calls
for a special one?

With a voice so heavenly
her melody
pierces my soul
my heart beats wildly
as she calls my frequency
is she calling me?

I feel the urge to answer
to return her sweet love call
here I am
for you, Sweetheart
open your arms
I need your love
like you need mine
be my wine.

Oh how I thirst
for her sweet young loving wine
and if it were not for Father Time
I would be hers and she would be mine
as I feel her sweet, young spirit calling me
I want to love her through eternity.

But I am old, not young in years
and I am sad and full of tears
and my last page may soon turn
as my heavy heart burns
for she is a very special one.

So alas
I must pass
I cannot be her fellow
she cannot be my lass
she must still
perch on her windowsill
and sing and wait
for God to send a mate
someone young to share her life
to be her special one.

(big hugggssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is soooooo beautifully heartfelt, I too know how she feels for I am in love with the most beautiful girl, Joanna, yet I live so far away from her and dream that soon God can help me find  away to meet her and I can be hers forever! (sigh) This is soooooo emotionally powerful, sweet friend, I know she will cherish these words with all her heart, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Newell, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Newell darling boy I love this utterly utterly, the flow of this is utterly divine and the flow is wonderful. It has some of the best lines ever, and it’s so descriptive of a young bird singing her mating song and waiting for her ideal mate. Excellent writing darling man excellent


Love and warm stuff

Marsha, darling girl. How sweet are your words. You write with the pen of an angel. And your words keep me soaring in the heavens. Thank you for flying my way.

This makes me sad, Newell...I sure hope that your last page doesn't turn for a very long time.

Lyra, I plan to be around a long, long time helping you feed those chipmunks!

This was written for a "sister" of mine in India. It is a poem answer to a beautiful poem of hers, calling as a bird trilling for a mate. I couldn't resist answering her, poetically.

We do love each other very much as siblings. I'm hoping that she moves to Canada soon, and we can visit and play and swing together. Wheeee!
