~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When he died, she was hurt
In lives together
he made her feel
Happy....sad
Glad....angry
Loved.....unloved
Pride.......disgust
Companionship....loneliness
Independence....dependence
Every emotion was felt
at some time
during all the years with
HIM

She promised herself,
NEVER to marry
or get involved
again
She didn't NEED
all those
emotions

Something always
wrong happened
in past relationships,
marriage
She could do without
mixed emotions and
HURT

She could make it in life
all by herself
Because.....
She was HERSELF,  and was capable
She was strong
Because, she loves
HERSELF

               Then,
                      I met
                            YOU

no matter what, you seem to know who you are...and there is something more special about sharing yourself when you know yourself.

im sure he got a good bargain

Hi Dawn, you sneaked in there on me. LOL
Yep, all my "thinking of myself" went right down the drain
when I met my Honey-love, but I'm sure glad
that I have him!!

Thanks, Donna, though I am sorry that you can
relate to all but the last line. I truly hope
that you will find another love soon. You are such
a sweet and loving person and I hope that you
will soon have someone who will give back to you
the same love that you give.

(smiles) Awwwwwwwww, and you will still always be yourself, only prized also with the gift of true love as well and be upgraded to "ourselves", yay! (kiss on cheek) Yay, I can't wait until Valentines Day when you put on a gorgeous marathon of poems from your golden 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,
