IF

If I ever leave you
in this world all by your self
I want for you to read this poem
I kept high on a shelf

If I can never touch your face
or hear your lovely voice
I hope you live a life that’s filled,
with happiness and joy

I tried so hard to find the words
to show you how I feel
I tried to write this simple poem
that somehow would reveal

How much I always cared for you
in everything you did
I wish I told you more of all
the feelings that I hid

I’m sorry for the times I ever
caused you to be stressed
With all the love I felt from you
I know that I was blessed

I hope you know the problems
that we had were all my own
I’m sorry living with me
made you feel so all alone

I want for you to know that
when you call me I’ll be there
It doesn’t matter if your really
happy or your scared

Just know that I am holding you
whenever you have fear
And that I’ll always be there
every time you cry a tear

I wish that I could bottle up
your laughter in a vial
I’d pour it out into the wind
and make the whole world smile

I wish that I could find the color
trapped within your eyes
I’d toss it up into the air
and paint a whole new sky

I wish that I could capture your
illuminating glow
The effervescence of your smile
could lift those feeling low

I wish that I could find the tune
you hear when angels fly
I’d sing it nightly, in your ear
until you softly cried

If god forbid the world should end
in one big global crime
Our spirit’s still, would hold
each other till the end of time

And even if the windows
to our souls both fell apart
The love we have, would still unlock
the doors to each our hearts

So when you see a butterfly
or smell a pretty rose?
It’s just me getting close to you
so I can kiss your nose

I tried to find some special words
to show you how I feel
I tried to write this simple poem
that somehow would reveal

How truly I adore and worship
everything you do
If I could only find the words
I’d give them all to you

You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Richy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I think one of the best ways to know someone is not by what they post, and certainly not by their replies....but by what they choose to repost, and why.  I'm glad I stopped to read this one.

Richy, I hope and pray that she saw this and that she loved it just as much as all of us women here do. It's really special for a man to be able to express his love in such a beautiful way. You have a very loving heart, Richy. Thank you for being you.
Hugs,
Ethel

Iliana ~ Hi Jo, thanks for taking the time to stop by, have a nice weekend.

Martie ~ Thanks so much Martie. Your the sweetest!  

Dawn ~ Yes Dawn, that’s just how it feels at times. Thank You Dawn. I’m glad you’re here with us.  

Nancy ~ Oh Nancy... you are just too wonderful!  

Noah ~ Noah, I wonder if you realize how much happiness you bring to so many, and how much everyone care’s for you. I guess what I mean to say is that you have so much love going out all the time, I just hope that you are able to let a little in now and then... You have a great weekend my friend  


I initially named this post: “IF - A repost, because I’m shameless“

And what I meant was, that I was just sorta jokin that I was shameless, for reposting a poem. Not that I felt in any way shameless about the poem. Any who, I scratched off, the last part. I’m sorry for any confusion on my part...

Magnus ~ Magnus, the day anyone will have to do that, will be the day, the earth stops spinning... lol  Thanks for saying something like that though. You are a gentleman’s gentleman.  


Margherita ~ Hiya Margherita!  Thanks so much for saying that. I appreciate it a lot!

Bluesy ~ Hi Bluesy! Did you mean to say that, there is never, ever anything shameful about love? I know what you meant   It was my title’s fault, it made things a little confusing.
You’re right about feeling enraptured. That sums up love in a most wonderful way.
Thank You Blusey!  

Allyssa ~ How you doing Allyssa? It’s so nice to hear from you. I hope all is well, and thanks so much for the nice comments.

Ed ~ Well I’m glad you did too Ed. It being close to Valentines Day, I thought I’d go ahead and give this one another go round. Thanks for the comments Ed. I think you’re a great poet, and a fine human being.

Ethel ~ Ethel, you really made me smile when I read what you wrote. Usually people tell me, they’d really appreciate it if I could just not act so much like.... uh well... myself... lol
Thank You Ethel. I don’t think you realize how much your words meant to me.
