Today, I watched you cry Not that you would notice In all of your pain and suffering How it hurts me to see you so Everyday I have watched Silently hoping, wishing, dreaming Waiting for that moment Planning every move I would make I wrote you a poem I bought a red rose Even thought of chocolate And then that moment was upon me I didn't make a move My thoughts all in chaos What was I doing My chance is here and fading fast You still bore a frown with tear stained cheeks You were lost in your dispair How could I, a simple man Brighten your day, atleast alittle You were turning to leave My heart was racing I had to do something I had to take my chance I walked out from under my own shadow I called out your name You stopped, turned around Seeing the rose you smiled Watching your face brighten up Sending chills to my core Not knowing what to say, I said Watching you smile makes my life worthwhile With tears in your eyes We embraced ever so tenderly You then whispered in my ear That is beautiful Sometimes the most beautiful things in life Are the one liners we speak from the heart This was a tough challenge to use the line -Watching you smile makes my life worthwhile- in a poem. It is a poem in itself. "Life's greatest mystery isn't the meaning of life. To love and be loved is the meaning of life. Now how to attain those is the greatest mystery of all." |

Thank you. It was no easy task. I almost kicked myself for accepting the challenge. "Life's greatest mystery isn't the meaning of life. To love and be loved is the meaning of life. Now how to attain those is the greatest mystery of all." |

A challenge made beautifully....this is a treasure!! I loved reading this...it painted a beautiful picture before me!! I do so want to read more SD!! Bridgette  Creation of woman from the rib of Man: She was not made from his head to top him; nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him; but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be loved." |
