Graphic By Ethel GG

~~**~~
When we fell in love
Our whole mindset changed
All our thoughts from before
Were suddenly rearranged

Before we thought of ouselves
Of what ~I~ desired to do
Now we think of each other
Of pleasing and caring for ~you~

It makes a difference in our lives
Of the days and nights we live
Instead of wanting to receive all the time
Now our greatest joy is to give

Making sure the other is happy
With all needs and desires taken care of
Definitely changing our outlook on life
We think first of our dear Love

Yes Ethel, all of this is so much a part of
our lives that we must have. Some never get
there and some do...I hope you are blessed
with it.

(sigh) Oh Ethel, I absolutely believe I will do a wonderful job at that when I do find my dream girl, I feel my problem is much the opposite, where because I desire her sooooooo much and want to meet her soooooo much I often can't help but feel guilty I'm not there yet to give her all she needs and desires, and that sometimes makes me feel upset! (sigh) This is a most beautiful poem, sweet friend, I know with all my heart Gary will give you all the happiness your heart desires and you'll be happy forever after, yay, God Bless You Both, 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

There is such magic in being part of "us"... it changes your perspectives, even when you're physically alone. *S*

This is lovely, my friend! *S*

all in the tree of life and giving, love certainly does conjure our feelings, be it with someone or alone, it's the way we love ourselves...life, and others....

Excellent write
