Just a quick "howdy", and to say that you have a nice little gathering place here (that is, ALL the Forums). I have been bouncing around the Net for the last few days looking for an interesting place to read a few lines, and perhaps throw some into the mix myself, and am quite pleased to have found this Site...I especially like the fact that there are knowledgable folks here willing to give objective advice...
Big talker here so I best cut it short!!

Here is something that I wrote for my new gal, and it proves that even "old farts" can get "new feelings".....

                  *****************


                   The Path

Setting forth The Path is clear
our journey just begun,
with careful steps, and cautious hearts
could each be the one?
True to say that neither soul
can know what’s set to be,
t’was pre-ordained so long ago  
by powers lost on me,

Not to think we have no voice
in what may come along,
to throw us off, and sway our hearts
so we must remain strong,
and be as true as two can be
with feelings that they share,
and let the other always know
they’re safe within our care;
to lavish on, rely upon,
ever mindful what one gives
should come as freely as the wind,
the sun, the moon, the stars,
and though you may have carried long
from battle’s past the scars,
bear in mind, my new found love
I was not a part your war,
but I will strive to do my  best
to close and bolt that door,
and open others just the same
as we travel ‘long The Path,
and make you happy,
make you smile,
and ever make you laugh…
for laughter is a soothing balm
heals that which isn’t right,
melts away what weighs you down,
bans terrors in the night,
and makes the bleakest darkest fault
appear to still shed light,

I know I’ve tread The Path before
but somehow lost my way,
again perhaps t’was pre-ordained;
that  past was  meant to be
a means to ready me for you
and have my heart set free,

And with this vow I promise you
I’ll try with all my might,
to give you calm and ease of mind—

And pray I do it right…
