A Well-Worn Smile
~Marge Tindal~

I'll caress you with a verse
of love when it sighs.
Hug you with a look,
sent through green eyes.

Love you with a heart
that loves the love I'm in.
Send you a well-worn smile
that tells you where I've been.

Always I'll remember
the loves that I've known,
loves that have stayed
and loves that have gone.

Love that returns
time after time.
Love that belongs
in this heart of mine.

That heart of yours
A wonderous prize
When viewed by all
Of our own eyes
A gift you have
And give so well
In tales of poetry
You tell
A caring heart
From which words flow
We need only read
And then we know

Absolutely beautiful poem

"Always I'll remember the loves I have known".  Wonderful line!  I doubt any of us forget the loves we have known.  So glad they were there, even though they didn't stay.  They helped mold us into the the kind of person we are, I believe.
Marge, you are so gracious and complimentary
of the work of others.  I have never met you but I know you heart; so big and pure.
Even though I may not reply to all you poems, know that I read each and every one.

Hoot~
What a wonderful little poetic response.
Smiles are fun to see and fun to give.
Thank you for yours.

Claire~
I understand that.
May you give and get many well-worn smiles, my friend.

Danny~
My goodness, what with the way we are growing it would be difficult to reply to all.  But, I'm giving it the old college try.

Just knowing you read them is enough for me.  I'm glad you liked this one.

I know there is a candle in this heart of yours with my name on it.
Well done Marge , and sorry for this short reply, but I'm late and have to fly
So I call this the
"Loving fly by reply"
How is that?


 The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.

A heart like yours is hard to find
it has that warm touch of real mankind
reaching out to give a bear hug to everyone
and all the many other wonderous things you've done.
A smile than tops off your overflowing gifted personality
as you share with all here at Passions your beautiful sentimentality.

"Loves you with a heart
That loves the love I'm in"

That's your favorite line, right, Marge? I know it is. We have a connection.....and it's mine.

Wonderful words......

Guess I just plumb didn't see your
reply in here.  You KNOW I wouldn't
overlook your sweet self intentionally.
You've got such a lovely smile !

Thank you sooooooo much for
your reply.
You've got me pegged right with
that SENTIMENTAL stuff. I plead guilty.
And I love it.
Just as I love you.
Aren't we all just a bunch of smiles !

My Balladeer~
Awww !  You're so sweet.
Of course you're right.
And of course you're in mine.

Marge,

I see the years
and all the tears
etched between the lines
and all the love
from heaven above
kept safe for better times.

Thanx Marge!

Marge,

Most unfortunate problem. I seem to be in the same place... can't forget a single thing.

I'm pleased you enjoyed.
Seen any beautiful lighthouses lately?
Seems that some of the visitors where I work are coming in with the loveliest jackets and sweatshirts done with famous lighthouses all over them.  
I thought of you.

Is that piano music I hear in the background?
LOL !
I guess we're all 'suckers' for a decent
expression of love.  Count me in !
Thank you, sweetie.

I see you 'almost' breaking into that grin.
Glad I could cause it to happen.
