Nothing in life is guaranteed
You can't be afraid of chance though
Sometimes life will call your bluff
Love and happiness allow us to grow

Perhaps loving is a mistake
But life isn't about faking
Give love and life more than just a glance
The risk really is worth taking

Better to be true to your heart
Then to stand behind in shadows and never try
Much rather cry from a heartache
Then to cry because to myself I told a lie

So...

Take the chance
Take it right along with me
We might fall flat on our face--yes
Then again we could fly free

You feel this connection too
I hear what you do not say
So extend your hand and trust me
Together...we'll find the way

It may turn out that friends
Is what were meant to be
Then again...perhaps there's more
Only by taking the chance...will we ever see

everytime I close my eyes, I see your face, I taste you on my lips...
every night I fantasize that I can feel you on my fingertips...

I have had my share of smashed face mornings but I still find it hard not to try and find that one that will forever make me smile. Wonderful write from you and a very good message to pass on. Life is always about taking chances so they might as well be the ones we choose rather than the ones forced upon us. Loved the read.

Amy dear heart, what can I say darling girl that this as wonderful and outstanding and I love it.

Life is full of rainbows the sky is blue
And Amy dear heart this poem is so true
Clouds may cover the sun but she's still there
And Amy dear heart your heart was meant to share
Trust is hard to believe in but try your best
And Amy dear heart you'll be singing with the rest

I love this utterly truly outstanding work.
Fabulous write from your pen love.
Take care love as always
Mushy

Love ya lil sis



Take back the hope you gave,- I claim

Like the way you've expressed the message, so very true cos I've found out the hard way.
