The years, they passed by slowly
My soul began to bloom
False friendships in my past faded
For my heart had no more room.

You came into my life suddenly
We connected on the first day
Our instant bond was frightening
But we let it scare us anyway

All the incredible goodness in you
Made me forget about my checkered past
I thought I could hide it from you
I knew it wouldn’t last

I was sure you would take off running
When you heard about who I used to be
But in fact you didn’t go anywhere
You stayed right here with me…

I think about the man you are
And it fills me with hope inside
My insecurities about mothering
Have all been replaced with pride

Because someday there will be another man
Who I am raising to be dignified like you
Who will see beyond the surface of a soul
Making his friendships always true

Your friendship is invaluable
You will forever be inside my heart
Trust that you can always find comfort there
Even if our roads were to ever part…

Beth; I love the way you've written this beautiful poem, with so much depth and inner searching of your own truth. Lots of hope in your words, hope for this relatonship? love, Mom

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Beth~
This write is just so refreshing.

'Because someday there will be another man
Who I am raising to be dignified like you
Who will see beyond the surface of a soul
Making his friendships always true'


It's a great thing to give our children the gift of knowing
how to be a true friend to another.

Wonderfully said, my friend.

Wow! This is great Lady Lost. I've never done this before, but I just have to send this one to a friend. Thanks for helping me say what I so need to say to him.
