Just You

There is such promise within
Your shining soul sweet one
You have so much ability
Like a soaring eagle
You will continue to fly
High and far
On wings of gold you’ll glide
Riding the thermals of power
That you see and others ignore

Maybe you don’t comprehend
The beauty of your soul
For I know you doubt yourself
Yet, you don’t allow that doubt
To hold you back
You push on, continue
Although the path is unclear
You see the way, somehow,
Then at just the perfect moment
You illuminate the sky
Bring all into focus
And empower those who believe

Maybe it’s your ability
To enthuse and enlighten others
That is your special gift
Maybe its because you are
Who and what you are
One of the golden breed
Who knows they have a destiny

Perhaps it is your spirit
Whose compassion and empathy
Shines from within
Clearing the darkness
Bringing light, glorious light
Where no glimmer had been before

Your spirit reaches for others
Enfolding them in your glow
That you can and do
Understand a soul
And can read a heart
That makes you special

But for all that, despite your gifts
Your unique and special essence
You are still and ever will be
Just you

Marsha



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

I don't know who you wrote this for, but it made me feel good about myself; so I'm sure whoever it was must be very touched by it.  Thanks for sharing.   ....jo

Thank you each and every one, this was written for a very special poetess, whose beauteous spirit, anoints my soul with its blessing. Her ever giving heart and her loving touch are always with me. She is so modest that she didn’t want me to dedicate this to her so I didn’t, but she knows its for her and I’m sure that most of you can tell it is.

Be well, my dearest friends you are special, each one of you has a mighty ability to write wonders, and you do, you all do


Love you always
And forever
Mushy

This poem is such a beautiful gift... but even these words that touch my heart so deeply are eclipsed in beauty by the true gift... that of your friendship. *S*

Every single word... straight into my heart. Thank you, my friend... for always seeing through loving eyes.

knowing the subject as well as I do, and loving the poem as much as I do, I would beg the poet's permission to add a jellybean trademark "ditto"

this and she are precious

I'm glad this one came back up...

Perhaps it is your spirit
Whose compassion and empathy
Shines from within
Clearing the darkness
Bringing light, glorious light
Where no glimmer had been before

Your spirit reaches for others
Enfolding them in your glow
That you can and do
Understand a soul
And can read a heart
That makes you special

You could have written this of yourself, my friend... how many times have you reached for me just when I needed you? *S*

I love you, my friend. *S*

I'm glad to see this one again, because it speaks of the touch and the love YOU gift to me.

Thank you my sweet and bright angel, you are far too modest darling one, how could anyone NOT love you and loving you not write words that speak of it.

Thank you again every one of you for reading and feeling the truth in this. *S and thank you beloved one for the inspiration you are to me. Love you always lady

Love and warm stuff
as always
