I cannot give the things I wish to you, No touch of lips or fingers on your skin, No passion in my eyes before your view So you might know the love I feel within. With tenderness of voice I cannot tell, Nor give the flavor or the scent of me, Nothing that you can feel, taste, hear or smell And not the things I hope for you to see. The only gift at present I can give That you might sense the love that fills my heart And grows, each breath I take, each day I live, Is simple words, expressed in poet's art. I write for you, hoping your heart to touch With words that show I love you very much. |

But, I think you CAN give very much, and it shows in this poem. Beautifully written! ~Gene [This message has been edited by u_gene (edited 01-15-2001).] |

Well, I don't know about the person you wrote it about, kcsgrandma, but I definately have a tear or two in my eye. Very well expressed! Grand! ~~Jamie    I mean the opposite of what I say. You've got it now? No, it's the other way. ~Bruce Bennett |

Well, now I'm kinda speechless. This shows what a warm hearted person you are...  and makes me think of long lost Strosek.. Gotta run and send this to him in a card, I think. Very well done. |
