*****
I think upon life
and how I was treated
in the past

Of the hurts and heartaches
The untrue words and unfaithfulness
The unspeakable and horrible acts
he committed

And then...


~~~~~
My thoughts turn
to the present
and to YOU

Of how you love me with
a love like I have never
known before
A love that is so genuine and true
So steadfast and faithful
Unconditional Love

And I think of how blessed
I am to have YOU
to love me and
for me to love you
My  Love
~~~~~

I am blessed  to relate to this poem and to have found this love for myself after so much grief. You just touched my heart and made it sing, my friend
big hugs and God Bless you and yours, Cher

Poetry is:
Passion, imagination and intellect running together.

Aloha with warmest regards, Cheryl Stewart Koomoa

Hi Cheryl,  
I'm really glad to see you here. I love your poem
about the flag.
Thank you for relating to my poem.

Maybe you can put some of your pictures you are
painting on with your poems. I would love to see them.

Thanks
Heart Hugs,
Ethel

Brad,
thank you. I appreciate your reply.  
.

Dixie,
yeah, it's really  like that.
And, it's really true about the past, too.
I never thought that I could trust anyone
ever again, until I met Gary. He has been
very patient with me for these five years.
.
.
Sue,
thank you. We both had been hurt and we
do feel very blessed to have found each other.
.

You're all so sweet and I appreciate ya'll
very, very much.
Heart Hugs,  
Ethel

May love and light always shine upon you!

Karilea, thank you. Sometimes I probably "share" too much.  LOL
I tend to get a little carried away when I
start writing about the freat love that
my Love and I share together.  
.
.
Gemma, I miss you a lot when you aren't
here, too. I hope you can come around more
often now.
Uh-huh....I know that you know about
"unconditional love"! I like the Beatles songs, too. They say it just right, don't they?
Love to you, too, sweet Gemma.  
.
.
Heart Hugs to you both,
Ethel
