Starting Over
By: Paul Wilson


Words spoken by you… feelings from your heart
Words of hope bring promise… of a new start
Why now I ask… as my heart sings the blues
How do I choose… Either way I can lose

Seems a lifetime has passed since we last talked
My tears fell … as slowly from you I walked
That day we turned our backs on each other
Heart cries… there will never be another

The bond we shared …before we grew apart
Gone from the mind…but never from the heart
All the happy memories yours and mine
For us one day the sun again may shine

One of those crazy thoughts within my mind
Together true happiness we can find
Building a bridge of love across life’s stream
Or is this just another hopeless dream?

Your words give me hope of happier days
Searching my heart I’m lost within a maze
Will I risk my heart and open the box
Should I trust you with the keys to the locks?

A chance to be close you say… one more time
Every night I pray for your heart and mine
Sharing special moments again my plea
Return my daughter…take this pain from me

Asking these questions…my heart stops to pause
Will this time be just another lost cause?
Should I say yes and open up my heart?
God please guide me…should we make a new start?

Paul this is very touching.  Sometimes when we open up our hearts although it may be hard at first, is when love finds it's way home....
May you be blessed.  Lovely writing.

Perhaps a gift of the season--written from your heart--enjoyed!

Paul, friend, you know that I know how you feel about your daughter.
I'm glad that you're able to write some of the pain out in poetry.
I've been afraid to post some of the ones I've written about
my daughter, for fear I might push here farther away from me.
After all those years, we are finally communicating a little
bit, and I don't want to mess it up. There is so much longing
in my heart to see her, though. If she wasn't thousands of
miles away, I would, too........

Donna~ Thanks for the caring reply. Sometime it's hard to keep opening up that box where I lock away feelings for those that have hurt me but I still have all the love & feelings for them in my heart...Paul

Ethel~ Sweet lady you are so caring. The reason I haven't done much writing lately was because this was heavy on my heart, but now that we are mending our relationship I have found a reason to write. We saw each other today for the first time since May and the first thig we did was give each other a big hug.
Glad that you & your daughter are talking. Take it easy and don't push is the only advice I can give. Maybe share some of your poems with her only, this helps me express how I feel aabout my daughter, because I can write better than I can talk.
Have a Merry Christmas. Thanks for the touching reply...Paul

Paul...you took the first step by opening the door.  Your love is so obvious in this poem, and the hug you shared has made it real.  I hope time continues to heal your relationship.
