The grass was always greener, Over on the other side. Fortune always beckoned me- To saddle up and ride. Love was always waiting for me- Just around the bend. Too bad I never found it, As I near my journey’s end. Maybe love’s a pipe-dream, That never comes to pass. A fairy tale for children- Whether laddie, or a lass, Perhaps it’s merely fantasy- Of what can never be… Whatever is its nature- It sure eluded me. So friend if you possess love, or it possesses you- Keep on with what you’re doing- And to your love be true. For solitude’s the portion- Of us who never found… A person who could love us, Or wanted us round. |

A really beautiful, poignant and heartfelt poem, John. I particularly love and feel the last stanza. I don't think that love is just a pipe-dream . . . it can start with a pipe-dream, yes, but one that is sometimes truly realised. I think that love is very real and vibrant and that what sometimes seems to be lost, is actually not, just not understood, and is misconstrued and/or not communicated. There are bonds that can never be broken, even if both people try to break them. Call me a sentimental old fool, but that is what I believe. |

Sentimental? surely! Old, never...Classic!. Fool? you are anything but a fool, Lady Diana. |
