+*+*+*+*+

With heart and eyes wide open,
and trusting in your love,
I bear my soul before you,
love's path it knows thereof.

While we were parted,
night claimed the light of day.
My spirit seldom soared,
for my love had gone away.

I ask the Lord and angels,
to lead me in this hour,
down the road, where I shall bloom,
in to a fragrant flower.

On bended knee, you return,
proclaiming love for me.
That you now know, within your soul,
together we should be.

The sorrow in my doubting heart,
your love has washed away.
I give my heart to you once more,
as sun shines down this day.

Sometimes doubt creeps in and you lose faith.
This is a hurtful place to be. But I like the way your's had a happy ending. That is very nice...

(smiles) Oh Linda, I love the happy ending, sweet friend, doubt is such a heartaching thing to have and if you have faith in your heart and love, so much is possible! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, 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,

We only have to answer to our heart....
doesn't mean we will learn all the
answers but it's where love starts.

But, you also know that I know about this wonderful ending......

Chelsea! Is it really you?!? I was thrilled to see your name! Did you know that I think of you often when I am writing my poetry? It's true! I love hearing, through your lovely poetess Mom, Patricia, of your responses to my poems. They have warmed my heart.

I think it is wonderful that you, your Mom, and Macy share the love of poetry and spend time together reading it. I hope to read poems by you! I will keep on the look-out for them!

You are a beautiful family with poetic souls!

Loving hugs,
Earth Angel

m sure that talent runs in your family!
