If the ideal mate doesn't suit you, what about telling me of the most emotional thing that has EVER happened to you. In poetic verse of course, how it affected you, and how it has made you change your life for the better??? Any takers? A heart and soul are not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

I wrote this poem about my best friend and the effect she had on my life...a huge one...I hope it suits this challenge. I'm not sure it is right for the challenge...please give me guidance here! What You Mean To Me When my world was bleak And my life was empty. When my soul was dull And my heart full of sorrow. When I couldn't smile And the tears wouldn't stop flowing. When I didn't know how how to go on And faced an impossible mountain. You came into my life. You took my hand and walked with me. You wrapped your arms around me And sheltered me from All of my invisible enemies. You heard everything I couldn't express And you listened with your heart. You said I could turn to you at anytime Night or Day. You spent long hours with me Helping me discover my worth. I found a true friend in you. Then fate drew us apart for a while. In that time, Every word you had spoken to me Every hug you had given me Every magical healing smile You had flashed my way, Began to mean so much more to me. Everything changed: My world became full of sunshine And my life full of fun. My soul had a song to sing to sing And my heart soared On the wings of happiness. There were many smiles And much laughter. And the mountain it melted away Leaving a clear path for me to follow. The path that led me back Into your heart and life. The moment our paths rejoined I felt true friendship. I felt pure bliss For I had been reunited With my one true friend. You. True friendship is The strongest of bonds: It is the invisible yet indestructible Thread joining our hearts. It is the many smiles that have Passed between us. It is the comfort and encouragement We have given each other. It is the unconditional love that is Always there when we are together. It is the loyalty and devotion We feel toward one another. It is the pleasure we find In each other's company. It is the trust that Embraces our relationship. It is the being there "no matter what". It is that special warmth in your eyes. It is You. It is Me. And it always will be. Though we are now separated by miles, That is only physical. We are always together in our hearts. The bond of true friendship Is stronger than distance And more eternal than time. I have often wondered Why God did not give you wings. For you truly are my angel: My one and only true friend. < !signature--> "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight."

Absolutely perfect ESP  Now I'll try to do it.. The day you were born something changed within me, I felt the hand of destiny and gained that and so much more, The door to my heart was truly opened, I say beauty in things I'd never noticed before. My heart expanded to heights I'd never known, I cared so much more for friends, family and the world, I now wanted to make things different, For now this world belonged to you. My precious son, Child of my heart and soul, I looked down in the crib, And there I saw such trusting eyes looking back at me. I swore then and then, my life would change, I'd somehow make the world a better place, Do my part, send love out into the world, Simple little things even just a smile on my faace. You my son, awoke in me, a true heart and soul, Much stronger than ever before, Now I send out only love and caring, And I never close my doors. I've changed for the better, Became a Mother and so much more, And in the meantime found my purpose in life, Something wonderous that is worth striving for. And it is? Total hope and love............ A heart and soul are not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

Well this I might do. it might be different, but what do you expect from a carnivores Wolf... Millie She was just a dog to some A lowly beast She fed upon hamburgers, chili beans, and pizza she did feast. She went through hard times with me, and soothe my brow. she was big as big as a cow. This great Diane was big you see, I took her every where, she road in my truck, she even went dancing with me. No one could argue I was a bad boy running wild in my youth the devils ploy, Millie loved me with all she had, She didn’t care if I was bad. We went where we liked, and did what we pleased not one person could touch me not even a sneeze. Millie would bear her teeth to save me in order to please. She stood six foot three, on her hind legs, this love of mine with flees. I saw her grab a guy who tried to play around She took and shook him in a flash lifting him off the ground I miss her so this ?? lowly beast, this once time love, my hound. She lived to an old age for dog years it was longer than most I gave her anything she needed even wet toast. (she loved that) I scooped her phoop, when she had no control paid her medical bills in later life even when it was a toll. It may seem silly to some or sad to most, this dog I loved who loved milk toast. She died in my arms I held her so tight her soul passed through my spirit when she met her blight, I cried when I lost this mutt and every one feared I’d run amuck. I keep her in a cedar box still when I feel the world has become a pill, I turn to this box and say, Oh God millie why did you go away. Joel. (A true story) and I still miss her so. I howl a mornful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |
