A long distance relationship, sometimes is so hard Often keeps us from sleeping, makes us weary and tired We get our hopes all built up, one week-end together to be Then our plans have to change, to be together, we'll have to see There's always many phone calls, with tender, caring words We talk for many hours, such love you've never heard Reminisce all our memories, of together, we share We have each one of them stored in our memory, with care Of all our dreams and hopes, we wistfully do talk And of the paths of life, together we will walk Also, there are letters, written with love each day In them, we can only begin, our deep love to portray In the future, soon we hope, our own home we'll share Until then, we'll handle our love with tender, loving care The disappointments we have, and troubles we have now Will all be forgotten, and be gone away, somehow So thankful and happy we'll be, when together in one place All these miles between us, will be gone without a trace Soon we'll have what we've wanted, right from the very start Be bonded as husband and wife nevermore to be apart WE'LLFOREVERLOVEEACHOTHERWITHALLOFOURHEARTS [This message has been edited by garysgirl (11-07-2002 12:26 AM).] |

Ethel, you know the old saying, "Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder". But, I do hope your wish comes true real soon. |

Hey Sue, Yeah, I believe that saying is true. But, the distance between us sure does hurt. Especially when something happens to mess up our plans to be together one week-end. He's always. understanding about situations, though Love makes the world go 'round (unkown) |

 (siles) Oh Ethel, this is sooooooooo beautiful, I cried reading this because I always tell myself these same words thinking of Joanna before I go to sleep and when I get up in the morning in prayer and when daydreaming of her gorgeous smile all day! (kiss on cheek) I know this will happen for you both and finally you will be together forever, God Bless You Both, may true loves happiness fill your deserving heart, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Ah Ethel...it's sad to be apart from the one we love. I do hope things work out so you can have a visit this weekend. And that you will be together on a more permanent basis real soon. ~Hugs~ ~I've loved you forever, in lifetimes before.~ |

Oh, how I recall these memories...and yet, the greatest long-distance love we shared was after marriage and he was sent to Viet Nam for a year. That's when the daily letters began and no phone calls, given the reason for the separation. Long distance love is very difficult. A poem with powerful emotion. Some changes in line breaks could help the rhythm and flow and make this even more powerful in its message. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
