One Step Closer
Amy M. Kennedy

We're one step closer to where we want to be
Only have today, yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not yet here
My world changed the day you told me you love me
Please believe in us, don't be consumed with fear

I know you are scared, I am too
This love though is stronger than both you and I
No time nor distance can undo
A love that was destined and approved by angels in the sky

We're one step closer, to possessing the greatest love
Just take a moment and listen to your heart
I woke up this morning, you were the first thing I thought of
Think we've both been graced by Cupid's dart

We're one step closer to making our dreams come true
Keep the faith, please don't give in
Believe in me, as I believe in you
And on the wings of a dove, we will find peace within
< !signature-->

 "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends."

"Fate exists but it can only take you so far,
Because once you're there
It's up to you to make it happen."

Another sentimental beauty, very well expressed, Amy, you are flying with love's wings...and a great swoon air from warm breaths will help you soar even higher...

Take Care,
Sudhir

Amy, you are very intelligent in knowing you can only travel far by taking one step at a time! This is a remarkable plea, and may Cupid's dart hit target every day!

Wonderfully written Amy, lovely poem.

screaming? why must not death be redefined? we shut our eyes we stretch out our arms and whirl on a pane of glass-patti smith
