Hold me in your arms of love, but give me room to fly... Hold me, not too tightly, and I’ll never say goodbye... Let me grow within myself, and make my own mistakes... Let me take my chances, even if my heart should break... Your arms are there to help me stand, and lift if I should fall... But if I am to learn to fly, I first must learn to crawl... Understand my growing need, to walk my path, my way... Then hold me, not too tightly, and forever I will stay... Live...Love...Be grateful for both!! |

~~~ SEA ~~~ Hi friend! Glad that you enjoyed this little piece.....P.S., did you know that your name SEA stands for the area in which I live? South East Alaska!!!! I know...it's trivia....  ~~~ Greeneyes ~~~ Oh, I thank you, my friend....I have always believed that as fragile as love is, it should be held loosely and freely, so as not to be crushed under pressure! ~~~ Taffeta ~~~ I do appreciate your saying that, as this one in particular was straight from the heart, and has a personal meaning for me. Thank you, my friend....... Live...Love...Be grateful for both!! |

Such wisdom in this poem. It is so true that we must be held gently and allowed to grow. A very graceful write. "I am not now that which I have been." |

Julian... Yes...I have always felt that a love that smothers and binds our individuality is not a love at all, but more like a trap. Thank you for your input, my friend!! Charisma... I know that there are so many creative people out there who feel exactly as this...in order to be free to create what is in our souls, we must be 'allowed' that freedom. Too often, that is not the case, and the trap door is shut in the name of 'love'. Thank you so, my friend and also for the ((huggs))!!! Live...Love...Be grateful for both!! |

I loved the flow. Understand my growing need, to walk my path, my way... Then hold me, not too tightly, and forever I will stay... these were very good words here |
