As I start writing, while I sit here
feeling sad and blue
With tears in my eyes, for today
I'm not seeing you
I'm thinking about this amazing
love we share
And of how loneliness for you is
almost too much to bear
When an endearing thought enters
into my mind
Of how fortunate we are, this kind
of love to find
So very rare to have found a
love so true
This feeling we share is mutual
between me and you
So often someone feels love, enormous
for another
That's not felt at all in the heart
of the other
So as I'm thinking of this lonely
feeling that we share
This feeling that seems so awfully
hard to bear
I'm also thinking of how thankful
I am, too
That we have in each other a forever
love so true
Joy enters my heart, a big smile appears
on my face
And I thank God for you and our love He
gave us to embrace

Beautiful words. I truly enjoyed this poem. Thank you for sharing!

I wish to become a great poet some day, but it will only come in time. Til then, I shall write my poems, and wait.

(smiles) Awwwwwww, this brought a tear to my eye reading this because I feel the same way for Joanna, I'm reminded of that song "God Must Have Spent More Time On You" and truly believe she is an angel from heaven that woke up here in my heart! (kiss on cheek) I wish you and Gary the most heavenly happiness, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a bautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Noah, I like the way you can relate to my poems. I like that song, too. Have you ever heard the one about "I Loved You From Hello", I think is the title. Also, there's "Baby, I'm Amazed By You" and "Forever Love". I could just go on and on. There's "Somewhere Out There", "When A Man Loves A Woman".
Oh, Gary said that they wrote the new one that Travis Tritt sings for him to give to me..."Strong Enough To Be Your Man".
Well, I'd better hush before they put us in the adult thing.

Dear sweet Sue, I hope you can keep those good memories. Like I've told you before, I believe you will have this kind of love again, because you are such a warm and loving person yourself.

Yay!!! Oh my gosh, I love those songs, I am a huge music lover and like almost all types, except for loud heavy metal or music that is racially offensive.

Shakira is my favorite artist, and Joanna's too, many American listeners have mistaken her greatly as just another Britney Spears wannabe. But she is so much more; she is an amazing poet, a wonderful goodwill ambassador in her home country of Colombia, and, because half of her ancestry is Lebanese, she is a great belly dancer. I just love her songs "Whenever, Wherever", "Underneath Your Clothes" and many of her Latin hits. I also love many of Marvin Gaye's songs, Sade's, matchbox twenty's, Celine Dion's, I love almost all music! (smiles) Yay, and I love all the songs you mentioned too! (big hugggssssss)



Love,
Noah Eaton

Me, too, Noah. Gary loves all different kinds of music, too. Some of our favorites are Rod Stewart, Bryan Adams, Michael Bolton, Phil Collins, and also lots of the New Country ones who are a cross between Soft Rock and Country.

Oh Ethel, I'm sorry you two aren't able to get together this weekend. We were all rooting for you guys. There's always next weekend!

Beautiful poem and shows how you have taken a gloomy situation and turned it around.  Good for you.

Hugs, Marti

Very sweet and tender words so wonderfully shared by "two" when the combination is so well matched.
