A Real Man Admits His Fears

I'm afraid I'll fall in love
with a woman that treats me
exactly the way I like to
be treated.

We'll laugh and smile
and sing in the
sunshine for
awhile.

Until...
one morning
I'll awake and
find out her love
wasn't real.

And instead of us spending
the rest of our lives together
I'll end up missing her
forever.

Now this is something many of us could say we can relate to I'm sure!  Very well done James. {and yes, only a real man can admit his fears, you definately got that one right!!}

I must have had my momma's will
and Gods Amazing Grace...

I'm a survivor....

(big hugggsssssss) Oh James, I believe this with all my heart 100%, in addition to that every real man cries! (sigh) I have so much respect for you and other men who truly show their emotions and I believe the world would be a much better place if every man did so so no more whitewashed feelings and lies are abound! God Bless You, sweet friend, I know this feeling too, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Ah, but James...it's like the old saying "it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."
Still in all, I really applaud the man who is honest and open. Good write! Chris
