I can only be who I am A tender, caring, compassionate man Someone who loves life and lives to love A kind, gentle, supportive man I've shown you who I am A funny, warm, loving man You've seen the good and the bad An impaitent, sometimes insecure, sometimes childish man I've shown you what I am An empathic, understanding, outgoing man Someone who helps others along the way A healing, peaceful, spiritual man I've shown you everything that I am And it may be true that I am loved by many And it's true that I love many in return But deep in my heart I only have one true love . . . that's you You are the only one who holds my heart You know its shadings and shifts But yet you question my heart Even after all my gifts My heart holds true love only for you For you and you alone angel from above Want to know how I feel about you? Merely look and see. . .this man in love. . . ---------------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Beautiful Sven, hope she sees and realises the truth. A heart and soul are not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

Sven~ I've said it before you have the most beautiful heart and soul and it shows in this, the woman you wrote this for must be very special and dear to you. Luv Tracie~ Love is the life of the soul... It is the harmony of the universe |

Sven.... I hope she has read this and see's just how all of your heart belongs to her! I would just melt if some one wrote as much poetry as I have seen here lately. I would melt if my man would even just write me one. hehe  She is very lucky to have someone love her so much! Some one as loving as you! Wonderfuly written ~Sheri [This message has been edited by PanDol (edited 05-12-2000).] |
