click to hear "Friends"


Soulmate

I have fallen in love with you,
The dear sweet man you are.
How else could you feel this close,
To my heart while away so far.

You bring out the poet in me,
I do believe it to be true.
I thought I had lost the ability I had.
But I write my joy for you!

The feelings well up inside of me
My tears are not of pain,
But of the incredible joy,
Of finding you again.

Almost half a lifetime ago,
We sadly said our goodbyes,
And now after giving up,
Growing up, and having a cry....,

Here I stand with open arms,
Nothing is holding me back from you.
Not shyness, time or distance.
I cannot contain my feelings for you.

If there is such a thing as true love,
That endures even time and fear,,
I think I`ve found that treasure.
The rainbow ends right here.

If I ever have the chance,
To be with you once again, my friend,
I would not hesitate to show you,
That this love has no end.

By Sherry Gardner


Written for my husband in Sept. 1999 as we were getting back together...after 13 years...starting out as "friends" once more.

Cherish the good memories past and look forward to the adventure called Tomorrow.
But above all... be kind to yourself today.

indeed the answer to your prayers...your soulmate.  
You two are very blessed!
