Linda, So true. Too often some find character traits in others they try to hold onto (or, marry! OMG) and emulate rather than looking within self, finding their own uniqueness. My opinion, your poem is the most important of any truth known. Hugs, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Oh sweet twisted friend, the wisdom in these few words is incredible. It is hard to look inward sometimes. Hugs dear lady, Marti 'A witty saying proves nothing.' |

Linda, I know that people may not think that I believe this truth, (from some of my poems I write about me and Gary), but I honestly believe that NONE of us can find true happiness with another person UNTIL we truly love the person that WE OURSELVES are. Only by loving ourselves and by having self-confidence, can we freely give our love to someone else. I know that you agree...  "Love makes the world go around" |

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Linda, it too may seem I don't believe in this because I always talk about my Joanna and how she makes me so happy because I love her, but I truly believe in this too as I believe Joanna loves me because I am me, and she loves me when I am happy for myself as I love her because she follows her golden heart! (kiss on cheek) This is special, sweet friend, yay, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
