Why Do I Still Write...

...these poems you may never see?
Because in the deepest part of my soul
you are always wih me;
your tenderness is tucked
around the corners of my heart,
your gentleness wakes me
each day with a smile
and the softness in your eyes
still warms me, remembering.
 
Wear it lightly,
this love I still bear you.
Wrap it close around you
on days when your heart
feels a draft,
on nights when silence
is not a friend.
 
When you need it most,
wear it lightly and smile,
smile for me.

Beki

It would seem you write for love, and that is reason enough.

Beki~
I think you still write to touch me with your thoughts~

Were I to want to quote a 'favorite' part of this ... I would need to quote it all~
It TOUCHES corners of THIS heart~
Thank you~

Beki:
Someone probably wishes the same for you,
and somehow you sense this.
You MUST write...
