~*~

When I fall down
You pick me up

When I do thirst
You fill my cup

When I do cry
You dry my tears

When I'm afraid
You lessen fears

When in the dark
You light my way

You turn my night
To bright of day

When I need love
You hold me close

Say loving things like
"You're the most!"

When I'm on empty
You feed my soul

You warm my heart
And make me whole

When I am lonely
And so alone

I'll hear the ring
Of telephone

When I am hungry
You sense that too

You'll grab a pizza
For me and you

When I need nature
To feel alive

You drive me to
The countryside

When I feel lost
Can't find my way

You give me hope
And for me pray

Your are to me
An adoring fan

And I thank God
For such a man!

This is lovely, EA... It sounds as though you have a wonderful person in your life... and that's only fair since you are one in our lives. *S*

But next time... share that pizza???? *G*

Yes, I do!---and he certainly was worth the wait! I have dated several wonderful men since my marriage broke up and they remain very good friends to me. Each of them was very, very special--but something was missing and I guarded my heart because I knew on a soul level that that perfect someone would be coming into my life--and he did! We even have the same birthday! We met at a course we were taking and the very next day he phoned me. We instantly knew we were soul mates. We became the absolute best of friends and then so much more...

Sending you as much pizza as your tummy can handle!

Huggums,
Linda

Thanks, Joe! Yes, he is irreplaceable! This poem actually makes me sound like a needy basket case, but in actuality, we are both strong, and independent people! No co-dependency going on here! --but we are always there for the other.

Luvin' hugs,
EA

Now that makes writing poetry very special to me--when I can touch someone's life in a positive manner. Yes, feel free to send this poem to Liam--and say "Hi!" to him for me!

Remember, true love never runs 100% smoothly! Hope all will be well with you and Liam!

Can't find my way
You give me hope
And for me pray


Linda, this poem and especially the above lines made me cry. Sounds like a caring and loving relationship.

Oh, Linda...this is wonderful news.....
I thought I saw an extra little gleam in your eye...LOL

And, you know that I know exactly what you mean......

My Gary and I are two very  independent  souls, too. You know how we weren't looking when we found each other. But, oh, we are so glad that we did!!  
Heart hugs to you both, dear Linda

Love can tap you on the shoulder when you least expect it! The evening before I met my soul mate, I reached my arms up to the stars and asked for someone to play with! God answered that request in short order! In fact, he had taken level one and we were already into the third class of level two when he saw this course listed. He contacted the teacher and she absolutely would not accept a student who had not completed the first level! His charming powers of persuasion won her over and voila! It seems fate was working at getting us together!

Loving spoonfuls of cupid potion!

(sigh) Oh Linda, this is just beautiful, sweet friend, I imagine true love must be the most beautiful feeling in the world, though I have yet to feel it and I want to be that kind of special somebody to my dream girl wherever she may be! (big hugggssssssss) For the last few years I keep questioning myself, "Is this my summer of love?" and so far it hasn't been yet, kind of makes me nervous thinking like that, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

With a face like yours--and with lots of goodness and talent behind it, that shouldn't be a problem! Hopefully Cupid will soon send the perfect young woman your way!
