For my Angel......... I see your bruises, though they don't show But still the scars are there, deep inside Hidden far away from the healing light Damaged and scared, nowhere to hide So you build your fortress within your mind Walls around those memories locked safely away Dark and forbidding no one now can venture there But what of you! Lost and alone, must it always be you to pay For this life you lead, I know not your choosing You yearn for freedom and long for a love Held back only by those memories and your fear Seeking only to spread your wings and fly with the dove Fear me not my love I'll not break down your walls Rather I shall scale them, I'll stand upon those ramparts And shine the light of my love into the darkness of your past Fly high into the light for you will find freedom there in your heart God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

Paula.....I think it is I who is the lucky one to have loved such a wonderful lady.  Janet........I don't know what I was thinking, I'm scared of heights LOL. A daredevil poet, what more could you want! As for the halo, well I don't think it would fit all that well on me. Thankyou so much for your kind words.Butterfly....You know that my angel knows for her I would do anything and everything, such is the love she inspires. Thankyou!SpitFire.....I thankyou so much for for your comments my friend. To know her is to love her.< !signature--> God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown [This message has been edited by EagleOne (edited 07-13-2000).] |

Eagle One, You heart shines through with love and utter devotion in this piece. It is beautiful and so heartfelt. I am sure your "angel" wept tears of joy when she read this one. She is a special person indeed. Excellent writing!! LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
