Hidden in a letter, I’d found by only chance Was all the passion hidden and the words of true romance Desires and the wantings, the thoughts that lovers speak The giving and the taking, which would make another weak There were words which told a story and the tale that led to love The thankyous and the pleasures that were sent from God above There were feelings so descriptive, that it made me feel as there A letter with a fragrance that now lingers everywhere It told a telling story of a girl that longed to share A love deep down inside her that was hard to hold and bare The prayers she kept on praying, that her lover might return Of how her days were lonely and just how her love did burn ---------------------- I turned sad, for in the corner were the words that said deceased Her lover was a soldier, which a war had not released The letter never reached the eyes of one she loved so dear But found the eyes of others that had written all so clear The knock upon the door had told the tragedy of war The letter that they held was hers, but then she wanted more They told her of the bravery, how proud they all should be In silence she just died inside, to never wander free She never wrote another as the one that held her heart For when it never reached him, all her world just fell apart And she just lived on memories of the moments they had shared Two lovers that were parted by a world that never cared --------------------- It made me think of good times and the era we now live Of just how very lucky we all are to love and give It made me somehow selfish and wanting more to be Sincere in every action and to share the love in me |

Hello Rick I cannot believe that such a fine piece of writing has not been commented on yet. I am in total awe at this heartfelt piece of writing. You always give so much of yourself Rick when you are writing and this is a glowing example of the abundance of love you have in your heart. "Love is not complex or mystical. It is an everyday occurrence and therefore should not be treated as some abstract thing beyond our reach" Take care......Sue I am in motion |

 (big angel hugs) Oh Rick, this is so very touching, dearest friend, this made me cry as sadly this is ever too common as long as men keep warring, when they should be saying "What are we fighting for, and is it worth it?" (sad sigh) Nothing can ever come between their love as it is true and golden, God Bless You, you have a most sympathetic heart, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Rick, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |
