There are so many things I'll do To make a love stay true. Honor, cherish, trust are just A few things I will do. There also are things I won't do - Some games I will not play For I have learned in life: Where there's a won't - there is a way. I won't forget the fact that, When I gaze upon your skin, The secret of your beauty lies There deep somewhere within. I won't forget to count the blessings You provide each day By being in my life - Where there's a won't - there is a way. I won't forget sincerity That you have given me. I won't forget that you have shown me Truth and honesty. I won't forget to love you each And every single day For making me alive - Where there's a won't - there is a way. I won't forget the way you held My feelings in your hand And spoke to me in gentle tones To help me understand. There is no crystal ball around... One has to live each day. As long as love's alive... Where there's a won't - there is a way. |

Ever notice how 'Deer takes something so special...and makes it everlasting? This is terrific 'Deer, but then, we don't expect anything but the best from you, whether in poetry, philosophy, or just out and out "great" from your heart! Well done...< !signature--> Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound.

Ball, I'd like to add a verse, just in case! and if a won't - goes away Could you just come, out and play don't be scared of, little me I'll protect you from this world just wait and see Your mighty busy - changing hats gets confusing, just where you're at that's okay, dear, I understand it's quite a act you have to juggle on your hands |

I won't forget the fact that, When I gaze upon your skin, The secret of your beauty lies There deep somewhere within. Ain't that the truth 'deer. Well said as per usual my friend. A veritable ocean of feeling. Hugs K The wind shifts like this: Like a human without illusions... This is how the wind shifts: Like a human, heavy and heavy, Who does not care. W.S |

I won't forget there is NO ONE who does a romantic ballad like you. I loved this one. "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."" Laurie Lee Kathleen |

I won't forget the hand that pens Such tender, lovely lines, For truly, you're a treasure deer, Whose brilliance brightly shines. What an abundance of exceptional work I've read from you the last few days Michael ... it's been my pleasure to read each and every one ... beautiful flow in this sentimental piece, very lovely! Best wishes, /Kit |

I don't know any Poet who can write their heart like you. There's no-one in this world so huge who speaks a truer true. There's things you do in poetry which chase away the blue with love and honesty - where there's a don't, there is a do. I don't believe in magic but I do believe in love. I don't assume conclusions within facts there's little of. I don't take passioned kisses as an ecstasy soon passed - I wish you bliss with all its gifts that grows for you and lasts. There's things I know about you from the sincere words you write. I don't assume your poetry is something taken light. I don't feign deep emotions as I do respond to you -- My 'deer, your words renew -- where there's a don't there is a do. well, mine didn't come even close to yours but it was just my way of telling you how very special i think this poem is and how it touched my heart.... you are a wonderful person, Michael... thank you for sharing this. (((((hug))))) |
