There once was a child standing all alone With no one in her life and nowhere to go The trials and tribulations that she had been through It was so hard for her not to be blue She went through the motions day to day Keeping to herself and not having much to say She grew up quickly, the child left behind Hoping and trying to find a better adult inside By the time she was just sixteen,she knew life all too well Of al the hurt, heartache, and all of the hell And then one day should one man notice her And decide no matter what, he was to know her He showed there was no reason for her to be alone No longer for her to walk singly down that road He showed all the love that he had to give Showing her that life was defintly worth it for her to live She still has her ghosts and problems from time to time But he's always there with his love helping her to shine From lonely to loved is such a great emotion To think this cam frome one man's devotion Peaches |

WOW!!! This poem could have been written about me but without the man who would show her what love really is. A magnificent poem that brought tears of joy to my eyes for the one it was written about. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

"From lonely to loved is such a great emotion" How true... but I object to Midnitesun's comments , I object!! I'd rather there be triplets, so that you could send one over to to Startime, and one to me too... I'm really in need of TLC right now |

"From lonely to loved..." such a beautiful expression. And a feeling that you have captured well. I am happy that you have found your love, for love is what makes us human. *SMILE* "I am nae poet, in a sense; |

This one could have been written about me------including the man. I've been without a family my entire life and all of a sudden-along comes a man and he took it all on. I've put that man through hell and back and he is still in here. That is why we aren't letting his cancer beat him. NO WAY. Not after everything we've been through together. We definitely belong together---no one else on earth would be able to put up with either one of us.LOL. LOVE CONQUERS ALL. No matter the size of the demon. |
