She Was She was a lonely soul, for she wouldn't let love enter in She had tried once long ago but she hadn't felt it stir within She thought she could receive without sending love out So now the icy winds of loneliness keep her ever without She was a cold and lonely heart, a cold and sad heart She wouldn't welcome love and now she just stood apart She was a frozen soul, for she hadn't listened to loves' call She might have done once, but she hadn't heard it after all She thought she would just test it not giving it a chance So now she was alone, she had no partner for loves' dance She was a frozen solid heart, an unhappy and empty heart She hadn't heard love and now she was left to be apart She was a lost soul, for she hadn't taken loves true prize She had picked it up once, but then hadn't used loves eyes She thought it was something she could leave and ignore So now she was lost, she wouldn't find true love not anymore She was a desolated heart, a bereft and desserted heart She couldn't accept loves gift and now she was falling apart She was a happy soul, for she joyfully let love enter in She tried to live her life in beauty and held true love within So now love surrounded her and kept her warm and free She knew that loves heart would open her eyes to let her see She was an ever-loving heart, a generously warm heart She had welcomed love in, it lived and grew there in her heart She was a delighted soul for when love speaks she hears She heard love calling and answered it saying I'm all ears So now she and love sang in joyous harmony loves song She was so happy to be singing loves song loud and long She was a loving heart, a heart that gave before it ever took She listened and felt love start after just one little look Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

On the serious side Marsha it's a very nice poem and I enjoyed reading it very much...scary when people leave love out of their life...they end up acting a little strange......Prin True |

Marsha~ "She was a happy soul, for she joyfully let love enter in She tried to live her life in beauty and held true love within So now love surrounded her and kept her warm and free She knew that loves heart would open her eyes to let her see She was an ever-loving heart, a generously warm heart She had welcomed love in, it lived and grew there in her heart" This is beautiful!!  But I'm sure you knew I'd love this! - SEA |

Marsha-Very lovely piece, so uplifting to know a love was let in. I wasn't sure where at first this one was going, glad to know it had a happy ending. Thank you for sharing it with us. |

Tony, thank you, it's such I simple phrase but I do mean it truly. Prinny True, love I'm trying, honestly I'm trying, but if you weren't quite so picky I could've had you fixed up by now. I've offered you Physiotherapist, Pharmacist, Radiologist, Haematologist. Mmm how about Bio Chemist, or Microbiologist, either of those suit? (Admittedly the Bio Chem is a little strange and the Micro, is very strange) Seriously thank you kindly  Circe, thank you muchly love, did you like your tribute, I hope you did. Take care Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
