Within The Reach of Me

I have desired love as much as
any one man possibly could.

I have wished and hoped and prayed
and even begged for love until I knew
if love was around I would.

Now I no longer reach out for love
as it seems love has found its way to me.

Love you are a precious gift from above
that was always within the reach of me.

James, does it really?

I mean, does it really come when you stop looking for it? After searching for so long, it is really getting tired, and sometimes I feel like just giving up on love...

Mon Cherie I can only say it comes as a gift...it doesn't necessarily come to the one that puts out the most effort...but I believe it is good to reach for it and to desire it but there also comes a time when we just need to believe in love...and someday that faith will become a reality...James

James, you've written so beautifully what I truly believe to be an absolute fact..

It really seems true that when you stop looking .. you find the truest love ... perhaps right where you've been looking all along.. and when you do.. you wonder why you ever looked so long..

Good one, James.. loved the read!!! :

SBJ ... it dont get any sweeter that those words above ...
sometimes its when we stop trying so hard, -- the things we want the most...
just fall softly in our laps.
wonderful sentiments put to verse...Im so happy for you

Even thru the darkest phase, be it thick or thin
Always someone marches brave, here beneath my skin
Constant Craving ... has always been.

You've taken my thoughts and put them in words in a way I never could.
Wonderful!

Hello James
This was so very beautiful and it's true what they say that special things come to those who wait as it obviously has for you.
Take care......Sue
