Because of You
Dedicated to those who love me
enough to bring me back to light and love

If I didn’t have your heart near me
If we weren’t connected spiritually
If the world wasn’t lit by your light
If I was caught in eternal night
I would hide myself far away
I wouldn’t welcome each new day
I’d be bereft of my heart and soul
Because you, make me truly whole

If I didn’t have the sense to see
All the gifts you’ve given to me
If I couldn’t touch the warmth of you
My soul would be pieced with ice all through
I wouldn’t know where I should be
There’s be no sense or clarity
I wouldn’t know where to find
The solace you spread through my mind

If I didn’t have the touch of you
I wouldn’t know what is really true
If the words I heard didn’t move me
If I couldn’t see a reason to be
But I have you to show me the way
And so I simply have to say
Beloved one you are the star’s light
And you bring to me hope’s delight

Beloved friend you are my hope of true
Every day is blessed because I have you

Marsha

Thank you to
the special people in my life
YOU are wonderful

Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds
but I can face the future with courage brave and bold

Such a beautiful song of gratitude, dear Marsha! We all need love, without it life seems "out of tune". You give so much with your beautiful poem(s) and warmth, friendship and love  come back to you.
Much enjoyed.
Love, Margherita

Everything takes time.

And we did say, we'd be here when you were ready to come home.  Welcome back, Marsha.

We've missed you.

This must be dedicated to legions of people, right? *G* For what's not to love? *S*

You bless us, dear one... and it does my soul good to see smiles in your life again. *S*

Beautiful write from a beautiful lady. *S*

Marsha, this is so beautiful...the words and the thoughts behind the words.
Thank you for giving  all of  us  a glimpse of your heart.

Thanks sweet friend.
I wrote a long poem for you and then I lost it, don't know the words anymore, damn, I'm getting old and I don't have Balladeer's photographic memory.

Well all I wanted to say is that, though I wasn't always there in your dark days, you never left my mind sweet gal, but I guess you knew that.

great poem. Many people never get around to thanking their loved ones, I'm glad you do.

The only difference between the creative and the conformists is that the creative will not be conquered and the conformists already are.

Cool!

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Wonderfully done.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Keth beloved one you know you lie, this is for you

Somewhere in hope dreams come true
It’s there I keep a picture close of you
There it rests within my mind’s eye
Giving me lift so that I may fly
The smile that you gift to me
Helps me when fear breaks free
And when I doubt as doubt I do
All I need to do is reach to you
Whenever clouds gather over me
Your touch lifts me to fly free
And through it all I know there’s you
Whose touch is clean, whole and true
A poorer spirit I would be
If I didn’t have you and you have me

Marsha  

everyone else thank you muchly, you all live deep in my heart and shine the light of love.

Suthern beloved one you are so very special, always know this that i love you too, for you are incredible, and not just as a writer either.

Margie girl huglets to you my sister of heart.

Little Mo you are wonderful shine on

Love and warm stuff
as always
Mushy

Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds
but I can face the future with courage brave and bold
