We're on our road to forever Walking along this path of life Hand in hand with each other Soon to be man and wife Looking on either side Along this path we walk We see many different flowers Seeming as if to talk There are roses everywhere Colors beyond compare Even with their thorns We handle them with care Birds are gently singing For love is in the air We hear the sweet melody It seems to be everywhere On either side of us We see beautiful trees With roots firm and strong As our love has proved to be When the gentle breezes blow Or the storms of life cause harm Our love will still be strong As together we walk arm in arm [This message has been edited by garysgirl (02-16-2003 11:09 AM).] |

This is a very heart-warming poem. I like the structure you've used, it does nicely with such a simple concept, in such a direct form of expression. Good work.  Parasite "Faith" means the will to avoid knowing what is true. |

What a vivid and wonderful description of the journey to come with your future husband (if this is about you!). I love the imagery, and I think this will fit into the book nicely. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.--Jesus Christ |

I thought this was really pretty, Ethel.  You can sit there and forgive someone until the cows come home, and it won't make a bit of difference until they forgive themselves. |

Ethel, you've touched me again. It is so heartwarming. I am living proof that ghosts exist. Which is an oximoron but I don't care ;) |

I like these types of poems. Nice choice of images ~~~handling the thorns with care~~~together. That's what love is all about. Sherry Cherish the good memories of the past and look forward to the adventure called Tomorrow. But above all... be kind to yourself today. |
