A Soft place to Fall So many years, we let slip by taking two roads not knowing why I need you now soon making a call tonight I look for a soft place to fall there were heartaches from lovers past looking for meaning none there to last in you I knew and always saw a warm heart and a soft place to fall didn't mean to hurt you then so long ago feelings that swept me unsure to know you knew me best it seems after all coming to you for a soft place to fall you're always waiting with tender embrace always a smile upon your face in my eyes I see you standing so tall there to give me a soft place to fall when nights are over and comes the dawn before the daylight you know I'll be gone until the next time when I make that call when again needing a soft place to fall |

It seems as though you have found a very soft place to fall. This reads very beautiful. |

Oh, Danny Boy~ How beautiful, tender and touching. You take my breath clean away with this one. You romantic, you. Love it ... just love it. May open arms be there when you need 'a soft place to fall.' ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

We all should have that soft place to fall~ What a beautiful heartfelt poem~ Marie~ "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind." The Bard |

Perhaps you've realized this person is more than simply a soft place to fall? I used to have someone in my life that I thought of as a "soft place to fall",...though I didn't fully realize that I viewed him in exactly this manner until he was tired of being my "soft place to FALL" instead of my "soft place to STAY"...just a thought...your poem made me remember...

DH...if there is a woman waiting to catch you and let you fall, she has a soft spot for you! Treat her with kindness! Loved this one! |

I am truly honored by the many responses to this poem. Too many to name and thank, just know, all of you, that I appreciate the time you took to read my work. There are so many beautiful poems posted each day and to have such response to one of mine is incredibly special and inspiring. Thanks to each of you, especially Hoot and Shelley for responding twice and to Janet Marie for making a discovery. Danny [This message has been edited by Danny Holloway (edited 04-05-2000).] |

Danny - WOW! This is the first of your poems that I am aware of having read, and I wonder what took me so long! Your gift is truly a treasure - thanks so much for sharing it with the rest of us! I, too, have had someone in my life who was a "soft place to fall." But, in contrast to some of the previous comments, she and I were actually just incredibly good friends, neither of us wanting more than that. In fact, when she fell in love with a very good man and he asked her to marry him, she asked my permission! Thanks again for sharing your beautiful gift!

Hi, this is beautiful particularly because it can be applied to so many relationships. I decided to send it to my boyfriend to tell him he was my 'soft place'. Thanks for creating such a perfect gift to give. Beautiful stranger |
