Acceptance By Larry Chadwick If I penned my heart and shared it with you, I have complete confidence you’d know what to do. If I voiced my feelings in expressions meant as a gift, I trust you’d receive it as a meaningful lift. If I touched you tenderly as I like to do, I’d accept your response as a gift from you. If I sit and gaze longingly into your eyes, I’d see your return gaze as a meaningful prize. If all that I offer is returned in kind, I’d be totally confident your heart is mine. August 4, 2006 If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

You know this one turned my heart to putty, right? *S* As I told Seymour on a poem titled the same... for me, there was birth... and then there was life... the latter beginning with the miracle of acceptance. *S* Beautiful write! *S* |
