The veils have lifted that misted my view,
From seeing the love that flowed out of you.
For I was too closed to be open and free,
To accept your heart's offer that now cannot be.

You folded your hand and laid down your cards,
I wish I had known of your loving regards.
Time has a way of revealing the truth,
As age adds the wisdom that is lacking in youth.

I now look at life through my heart and my soul,
~ My mind and my body weren't the sum of my whole.
I'd been blind to the love being offered to me,
~ My eyes were wide open but I just didn't see.

The veils have lifted that misted my view,
From seeing the love that flowed out of you.
For I was too closed to be open and free,
To accept your heart's offer that now cannot be.

I recently had a chance re-connection with a voice from the distant past and was literally blown away when he told me how he has loved me all these years! If I had only known that back then! ~ Mind you, my life has been played out the way it was supposed to have and I wouldn't change where it has lead me!

Thank you for your warm reply.

Enjoy your life's journey!

Ah, Linda - youth is often blind - it's from the years of exposure we learn, yes?  Trial and error -

Hugs to you this morning - Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

It is something I have given much thought to. But if is a drift in the wind.
