If I can offer you my heart and give you what strength I have allow me to If I can place a smile upon your face then smile for me If I can lend a shoulder or a listening ear open your thoughts to me In moments of despair I will offer hope and comfort, my friendship to you is sincere unconditional and I expect nothing in return *** Nothing Beautiful In This World

GreenEyes~ 'If I can offer you my heart and give you what strength I have allow me to' Seems like these 'Little Rubber Hearts' are getting around ! ! So YOU ... so gently done. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

And that is what true friendship is made of, my friend...nothing in return, nothing ever expected. I particularly love this one, Lauren, as this is how I treat my friends. Well done. Michael Proust- |

I loved this but saw the lack of acceptance some have when we do give freely of ourselves. I often wonder why - when we offer ourselves unconditionally - do they believe there is a catch? Hmmmm - wonderful poem. Please visit me at my new homepage: |

This is beautiful... a perfect description of unconditional love... which is really the only kind we should be offering, isn't it? *S* |

This reminded me of the final scene in the movie "The Tailor of Panama" in which lets just say the tailor had created many problems within his marriage and he ask his wife what she wanted him to do and she said "well the kids need breakfast." It really touched me deeply...James |

Once again, as I read and re-read your poem, I find myself humbled by it. A token of unconditional love - as my mother once said to me, with no strings attached given so freely. I too try to live by this code. LP |

Greeneyes - a very powerful and touching poem. And by your last lines, very unselfish. A beauty you have written. BC |
