When most are sleeping
in the still of the night
I like to just listen
and be real quiet
The moon shining brightly
in the dark velvet skies
With stars sparkling
so beautiful to my eyes
If I will but listen
your sweet voice I'll hear
Whispering to me sofly
close and into my ear
I close my eyes as I
feel your breath touch
and hear you say, "Baby,
I love you so much,
More than the stars
shining up in the sky
Is my love for you,
so, Love, please don't cry,
I'm right there with you
don't you ever fear
Just listen real closely,
and my voice you will hear
We're always together
to never be apart
Holding together each other
real close in our hearts"

I   LOVE   YOU,   BABY

Thanks, Ed, for reading my poem and for your sweet reply.


BTW, I know that "witch" is the same as "sweetie" to your friend Karen. HaHa!!

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Ethel, this brought tears to my eyes because I dream so much of holding my Joanna and hugging her when she needs a shoulder to cry over or she just wants to feel loved like a teddy bear and seeing her gorgeous smile and hearing her sigh in her sleep beside me! (kiss on cheek) You always write such gorgeous love poetry I can relate to, sweet friend, 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

It was beautifull, but for some reason it made me cry... Everyone's poems are making me cry....

Liz, I'm sorry it made you cry. I was really sad when I wrote it, but I can almost hear Gary whispering to me not to cry. So, I try to cheer up and just hold on until we are together again. He wrote a really beautiful poem and sent it to me. I'd put it on here, but I don't know if it would be okay or not. He told me it would be, but it may be against the rules.
