Now you've Asked? I love you, you said You do? I asked, Why? I need no reasons, but I'll give you just a few You raise me when My life is on the floor You kiss me and My soul takes flight You make me smile In my dark days You give me your light To shine when it rains You're the sun in my sky The waves on my sea You're my compass When I lose my way On the never ending road You walk beside me singing If the load gets heavy You help me carry it You're my soulmate My hearts delight I need you for far too many reasons Oh! I said, Well I'll Stay for only one You're eyes begged mine I'll stay with you for one Why? You asked me Because, I said, I love you, I need no other reason Marsha [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 10-13-2000).] |

Marsha~ What a delightful format for such lovely thoughts. 'I love you, I need no other reason' Perfectly sound reasoning to me ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Butterflies dc, thank you for your kind words, and here's to the next 1000, and may my little efforts get better and better. Chanson, I thank you deeply, and appreciate you stopping by and replying. Thought for the day. Love is the only thing you can give away, that leaves you with more than you had in the begining. So spread a little love around, there are people in this poor world we live in who need it. Take care |

Hi sis, thanks Sunny girl, I must say that this one I enjoy. It's the truth you see, it's so much easier to write. As for you love, as the newest family member all I say is, with all us girls around, we do talk, sometimes it's non stop. So if you want to say something don't wait for a pause in the conversation jump right in. Take care little sis Marsha |
