If I had a wish that I could make, I would wish your pain away I would see to it that every ache Be replaced with pleasure to stay. You would never feel down Or have reason to frown I'd make sure that you were content No discomfort to bare -- Only rapture to share From a health that was Heaven-sent I would have it so that you would never hurt again. If I had a chance to change the world, I would make it better for you. There would be more Love, Respect, and Joy, Honesty, and morals too... You would never be hurt Or left feeling like dirt Your Honor protected by my pride There would be no chagrin To disturb your sweet grin Or your fragile purple heart inside I'd insure that you'd never be disenchanted again... All of these things I would do If I had the opportunity... To show how much I care for you And how much you mean to me How I feel is genuine My statements are sincere I've placed my heart upon the line, For it's you that I revere. If I had a way to make time last, I'd extend good times for you... Happy moments wouldn't fade so fast And there'd be more of them too All of this make-believe I would strive to achieve To the best of my ability My devotion is real Like the love that I feel -- You're the best part of my reality... As long as I'm alive, I want to be by your side. My thoughts are with you every day My concern for you is true If I can help in any way, Know I'm there for you...

Now this is heartfelt and touching. Nice write...and the person for whom it is written should indeed know that you care. Good stuff here! |

Thank you, Ron. It was inspired. Whether or not the sentiments got through... I'm still happy to breathe new life into this and "put it out into the ethers" for others to contemplate and consider. -MVS |

Elise, sometimes the loudest words fall upon the deafest ears... The soul of this poem can now be for the world to contemplate and consider... perhaps even inspire, for Love needs all the help it can get in our world today... Thanks for your thoughts. -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |

Sad that the ones we give so much love to, can be so uncaring of that gift. I'm glad you are sharing these thoughts with appreciative people now! Sandra |

Thank you, Liz, for reading and enjoying. It may not be easy to remain compassionate in this day and age, but I refuse to succumb to the critical mass of de-evolution that is occuring around us daily. Yes, Sandra -- tragic, even. But I am pleased to share these writings now with the world so, perhaps, others can be equally inspired to promote Love and caring for others. Thanks, as always, for reading and commenting.
