Blind-sided Along the road of life I made my way Admiring the scenery. I was Considering the lateness of the day And looking for a place to stay because My heart was hoping for somewhere to rest. The road was long. I was so far from home! I did not wish to accept second-best, But really could not continue to roam, When unexpectedly across my road Another homeless driver came in view. He showed me where to find my heart's abode And gave me license thus to love anew. Caught unawares, yet now I hope to wend My way through life with him until the end. |

Pretty wonderful way to be blind-sided, eh?! It makes me think of a song and a movie with it as its title song: Turn Your Heart Toward Home. Have you heard/seen it? |

Ceci était très bon! J'ai arrêté par à dit vous remercie pour répondre à toute ma poésie, et ici vous êtes allé et frappez avec un poème de magnifique. Le tout dernier revêt était un meurtrier. Ce definately va dans ma bibliothèque. "Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me." |

Virginia - Yes, pretty nice. I haven't seen or heard that. I will have to look for it. Thanks for the suggestion and the comment. Saxoness - Vous etes tres gentille. Malheureusement, ma connaissance de la langue francais est tres limitee. Merci beaucoup. I can read, but it is much harder for me to find the words in French now. I'm really enjoying your multilingual series.Sven - Why thank you! How could I not be flattered at comparison with Frost? Stopping by the Woods has always been a favorite of mine. ME - You are so sweet! Hugs to you! |

Very very nice. Aren't you glad that don't try to ruin that particular type of blind siding by abusing the laws in court. The penning of this piece is done so well that as a reader I got caught up in it rather quickly but didn't really seem to notice until the end. Beautiful write. |

Mr. Bohannan, sir, I am certainly glad such an "accident" doesn't lead to lawsuits. Thank you very much for your lovely comments. No wonder everybody here seems to love you! Dee, thank you. Hearts really shouldn't be homeless, should they?To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |
