DOUBTS AND FEARS JUST GO AWAY
by Ethel

He says a complicated lady am I
And to please not ever let our love die
I say, I'm so sorry, with a sad reply
Sometimes the fears make me want to cry

I say, I had many heartaches in the past
He says, but our love will forever last
Just believe your heart, he often asks
But forgetting the past for me is a hard task

He does all he can to prove to me his love
In my heart I know he's sent from above
His love is as gentle as a little dove
No one's ever showed me this much love

Beautiful songs and poems he writes to me
And also paints pictures for me, you see
His love for me is as beautiful as can be
If only my mind would let me completely believe

I want to throw away my doubts and my fear
If I could there'd hardly ever be a sad tear
If only my hearts voice I will ever hear
It tells me our love is special and so very dear

(to be continued.......)

Ethel

Sounds like he is a very sweet guy...sometimes you just gotta take a chance and not let the hurt from the past keep you from your future.  Love doesn't come around so gently all that often.  Loved the sweet honesty of your poem and I wish you well.

Ethel, it is nice to see you expressing feelings. My comment is simply, what is the rush? Day by day.

BTW: Did you see the reply to your query in SimplyGold's "FADE AWAY" poem posted 10/14? Robtm1965 thoroughly answered your questions, about 2-3 posts down from yours in the poem.
Plus he's given a thread for even more vital info.

Thanks for the above poem, for it is so easy to forget the fears behind new love.... looking forward  to the finish.

Big Hug

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Ethel, I know this feeling ever so well, sweet friend, I know I have to stop feeling this way yet I miss my Joanna a lot and I can't help but wonder if she stills love me as I love her beyond her wildest imagining! I always write poems for her and send her ceramic polished hearts I made in art class and cute Tigger gifts and cards and tea in the mail and I wonder if that is still not enough! (sigh) This is heartfelt, sweet friend, I wish you and your love the greatest happiness always, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Your heart's voice is the one that usually speaks the truth.

Keep listening, and you will know what to do.
Remember, the past is the past---- try not to let it cloud your present.

Tomorrow will be a brand new day!

Keep the faith dear Ethel!

Dear Sweet Noah...thanks so much for your sweet reply. I know that Joanna has to feel the same great love that you have for her. She might be a little scared, too. The future is a little scary , but we've just got to have faith and hope that everything will work out for the best. Don't we? Thank you, Noah.
Love To All,
Ethel

Sweet Linda, thanks so much for your words of wisdom. Yes, I know that the heart speaks the truth. I'm trying very hard not to let "my" past cloud up "our" future. Wouldn't that be a shame when Gary and I love each other so very, very much?!? Again, thank you, sweet friend, for your kind words.
Love To All,
Ethel

Hello Ethel

How lovely that you have someone who writes poetry for you, I think that must show how much he loves you.  I hope everything works out for you.

Take care.......Sue

Sue, thanks so much for your sweet reply. I appreciate it. Yes, he writes beautiful poetry. And he is a very good artist. He makes cards for me, too. The birthday card he made for me last year was just beautiful. I'm looking forward to another one for my birthday next week. Thanks.
With Love To All,
Ethel

Trust is hard for some people, especially when we've been hurt before.  Given enough time I'm sure you'll come to believe just how much he cares for you.  My best wishes to you both and God bless.

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn

Ethel, Falling in love after being burned is so hard. Take it one day at a time and eventually, it will all work out.

I am looking forward to the sequel ...

I'm so glad you're here ... Marti
