Only a fool rushes one to love them, we know it takes time to grow...As a flower needs sunshine and water, our hearts need space also you know.

If something is bound too tight it cant move,no way to spread open its wings..Love will come to those who await..if it's kindness and patients it brings.

So take it slow,and be willing to wait..nothing good comes from a decision made in haste.

Start out as friends, get to know who your talking to,there is plenty of time to do what you want to do.

Love will come dear one..no need to fret..But slow and steady wins the race, and you'll have no regrets.

I too used to be in a hurry you see, but Iv'e learned to just love being with me!!!!

If only love could be bought, like silver or like gold;
Then all of us could purchase that one to have, and hold.
But all my life i've searched for that one to call my own;
And even though i married..i felt so all alone.
Yes if only it were jewels, or fancy dimond rings;
If that were my desire ,i'dd be wealthy as a king.
But dear one theres this emptiness,in this heart so filled with pain;
And though it sounds so simple, its the hardest to attain.
I wont give up this quest im on ,to be in loves embrace;
to gaze into his eyes , my lips against his face.
I will love him with all i am,and never let him go;
And thankfullness, and tenderness are the attributes i'll show.
So keep your gold and silver,with you they can remain;
For it's love sweet love ,that i yearn to attain.
So come to me where ever you are, if it's love you so desire;
And with the sparks between us, we'are sure to start a fire.
My partner for life, the one thats true and true;
We 'ii go through out this journey,just me ,and you..us two.

Growing up in the 60's what I remember most of all,softball games ,cracker jax,staying out till mom would call.

So many kids in the neighborhood, we'd all come out to play..hop scotch, kickball,hide and seek we'd be at it all the day!!

Chasing down the ice cream man, how excited we would be..you'd think that it was christmass with gifts under the tree.

We were never in the house for long, except to sleep and eat..if very good dad let us stay out late..oh what a treat!

Summertime was at the beach, the sun,and sand, and waves..building castles in the sand is how we spent those days.

Frozen milky ways on a stick,snow cones if you like..airplanes flying over head..and people flying kites.

We had no worries,it was safe, we'd ride our bikes all day..mom din't worry that someone would grab us..she knew we were out to play.

Picnics with the neighbors,and swimming at the lake..hot dogs, hamburgers on the grill and watermelon for goodness sake!!

I remember building tree forts, the girls against the boys..when all was said and done we filled them with our toys.

Running after fire flies late at night from our front grass..all the kids would gather there it was such a blast.

Lemonade and Bazooka, in cherry and in grape..kids today would laugh at this..but we though it was great!!

Drive in movies were so exciting, we'd pile in the car..wearing our pajamas..and looking at the stars.

We would always fall asleep in the car as dad drove home..he'd carry us in one by one..mom would help him some.

In the winter we would ice skate at the local park,the smell of fire burning..and red embers to see when it got dark.

We would lace our skates up good and tight so our ankles dont cave in..I would fall down and get up..and do it all over again.

Christmas time we believed in Santa, and were sure to be real good..for we knew that-sometime christmass eve he'd be in the neighborhood.

Hip hugger jeans, and peasant top, and click clacks were so cool,we dreaded when summer ended and we were back in school.

I remember when Dr. pepper was new, and also Doritos chips..these were a big deal we had nothing before that was quite like this..

how can we forget the television, we had to turn the dial,carol Burnett the little rascals, and the honeymooners to make us smile.

The family together on Sunday night , the ED Sullivan show was on TV...Dad would let us stay up for that cute little mouse to see.

Off to bed by eight o'clock, in the summer it was still light..Sue and I would never sleep..we would stay up and fight.

This was a great place to grow up in this neighborhood of mine..All the memories stored in my head..I just need to rewind.

I thank my parents ,and my God for giving this to me..friends and fun and plenty of love from all my family..

Forget his name, forget his face. Forget his kiss and warm embrace.
Forget the life that you once knew;remember now theres someone new.
Forget the life that you once shared; Forget the fact that he once cared.
Forget the times you were together;Remember now, he's gone forever.
Forget him when they played our song; Forget you cried the whole night long.
Forget how close you two once were;remember now he's close to her.
Forget you memorized his walk;Forget the way we used to talk.
Forget the times when you were mad; remember now he's glad,not sad
Forget the times he used to phone;Forget the times you were alone.
Forget the time he was your whole world;remember now there's another girl.
Forget him in his teasing ways;Forget you saw him everyday.
Forget the things you used to do; remember now, she loves him too.
Forget the thrill when he walked by;Forget the times he made you cry
Forget the times you spoke his nam;Remember now,he's not the same.
Forget he used to hold your hand;forget the sweet things,if you can.
Forget he said he'dd leave you never; Remember now,he's gone forever.

Love me in the morning,at the break of each new day..
kiss me oh so softly,hold me close to you I pray.

Love me at the noontime hour,call, to say you care..
I'll whisper things I'll do to you,come home early if you dare.

Love me in the evening,at the setting of the sun..
we'll laugh, and kiss ,and carry on, as if we;dd just begun.

Late at night please love me,let your heart beat next to mine,
let me feel how much you need me dear, just one more precious time.

Look me so intently, in these eyes that long for you..
Read them, and you will know,my heart it is so true.

All these things you've done all day,they mean so very much..
as my loving hands seach for yours,you know I crave your touch.

Thank you for your love for me,that dreams are all made of..
Two hearts in one accord,a gift from God above...

How fun it is to love someone,even if you know it might fail.
Just to know that at least for a time, you will receive you some mail.

When I was young love hurt so bad, the pain was hard to hide..there were so many words unspoken..I chose to hold inside.

Many days spent crying ,over a shattered heart as mine.all I ever wanted was this special..one of a kind.

I I remember lying on mothers bed,my tears just flowed as she kissed my head.

Nothing seemed to ease the pain,Oh how I'd love, to love that way again.
But love lost makes us tougher, we wont just let love in..
Want to love that deep again, to need you under my skin.

Oh to be young again, even with all of the tears..havn't loved that way again,in all these many years.

He didn't know I worshiped him,to me he did no wrong..and all this poetry he inspired,for him I wrote these songs.

His name was Chris, he stood six foot three, he stood tall and proud as a redwood tree.

His hair was brown, his eyes were blue..and there was nothing for his love..I would not do.

But as you probably guessed by now, his love was not returned..but the memories of my days with him, in my mind are forever burned.

like a ghost it seems i have searched ,and searched, for this I've never had..A love that tears my heart in two..I want so very bad.

To smile at the mention of your name..cause being with you ..I'm truly changed.

to feel that sick feeling when your running late,because being near you..I cannot wait.

To find my true other half,is my heart's desire..and loving you..from sun to moon I know I'll never tire.

I dont hurt that way no more, so used to hurt and rejection..But I wont give up..I'm on the right road,heading in your direction.

Lights, camera,action is what producers say,come on out you drama queens..it's your time for you to play.
You live for the spotlight,the attention is what you crave..All this talk of shattered dreams, and the ending of your days.
Here today but leaving tomarrow, but tomarrow never came,You are still sitting here, all is still the same.
Cant you just be happy,for each blessed gift each day? And if your really leaving..could you mean just what you say?
Stop playing on our emotions,so that all will pity you..get in the game of life , and be true to us..and you.
Is anything all that bad that you need all this action? When you are happy and positive..why thats the main attraction.
Now please dont think me cruel or harsh,im really not that way..I'm just the type of person who beleives in what you say.
So in the closing act, can we make it not so sad..for what we have been dealt , cant really be so bad.
I really dont mean no harm, just really tired of this great alarm!!!
It's never true so lets not pretend..I really truley am your friend..

Like a dark cloud you darkened may days,shaded out all of my light.
Now that your gone..how much better I feel,all of the wrong is made right.
Darness dispair ,I thought that you cared..but in the light things are seen as they should,you were just using me..oh why couldn't I see?I'dd take it all back if I could.
Saddness and gloom, how you have been doomed,were the crys that came from within..So foolish was I to heed to your cry..and take on your burdens and sin.
Never again will you darken my door,never again not like before.
You chose to go,YOU walked away..and I'll never again have something to say.
Dont you remember you did this before,and I was a fool to let you back in.Now again we are here and wont be again, wont go where I've already been.
You brought me such joy, and then came the pain..I will never fall sucker to you ,not me..not ever again.

I'm through with online dating..it doesnt really work,the ones you like are far away..and the others full of quirks!!!
But thats ok cause I have made friends on this here site..
All of my dear poet friends, now thats the kind I like.
Nothing more then dropping notes, to say "hey that sounds great".
No strings attached, no broken hearts..no need for being fake.
Let's keep in touch as cyber friends, and keep it fun, and light..
We'll laugh and joke, and share our lives..right here on this dear site!!Some have come , and some have gone they were so dear one time..
But now I have just you my friend..all others let behind.
No love for me, I've come to learn,that it's just not for real..
But thats ok,cause I have my friends..and thats just how I feel.
So my advice to you would be, to just go out make friends,
That way when all is said and done ,they'll be there in the end.
Love as great as it can be, is also filled with pain..
sometimes so crippling..one never loves again!!
So I'm happy with the choice I've made, to keep my friends close by..
I like to keep the ones that I have met..and thats my reason why.

When your weary, and life has you down,just whisper a short little prayer.
To the father above, who looks down in love...and See's all the heart ache we bear.
He's waiting for you to call on his name, from whatever walk of life..he loves you the same.
You have not, cause you ask not, is what the good book claims,and in it also are the answers to all of life's pains.
So please don't wait, why hesitate? There is nothing you cant tell him..it's never too late.
Bring to him your burdens, lay them at his feet,you do your part..and in the middle you can meet.
He's urging you to come as you are,whether you hang in a church, your office,or bar.
We are his children,his sheep as they say..and he's never more then a short prayer away.
Oh yea!!and he's coming back again one day.
So if it's peace that your searching, if it's love that you need..he's ready and willing to full fill all your needs.
You may have forgotten him, but he's not forgotten you,and there is nothing, that's for your good..that our father would not do!!!
Take care my friends and have a blessed day, and if all else fails..just PRAY.

I walked the shore, along the sand. This beautifull place, was given to man.
I walked along the edge of the water,for life is so long,and i've only lived a quarter.
Walking in further, up to my knees,I feel the cold chill of the deep blue sea.
Walking in further up to my thighs,for love and affection, unheard went my cries.
Life is so cold, like the water i stand,people too cruel, to lend me a hand.
Walking in further ,up to my waist,the times we've spent will now be erased.
Walking in further up to my shoulders,of living in life, i'm one of the holders.
Walking in further, up to my ears,the pains deep inside but my eyes shed no tears.
Walking in further, covering my eyes,i no longer see, or hear peoples cries.
Walking in further over my head,for life was so hard, but now i am dead.

When we are young,and love is new,Our hearts so tender, soft and true.
As time goes by, our hearts they break,we wonder how much more can one man take.
But these breaks they make us stronger,and love now lost hurts no longer.
We build up walls to keep love at bay;somehow we think it's safe that way.But these walls they dont just keep love out they make it fade away.
So i plead with you ,dear hurting friends,let love in and do depend.
If you choose to live your life alone;your heart will soon be hard as stone.
That special one is waiting there,beyond the starey skies,And when you finally meet her, you will see it in her eyes.
Then that heart of yours will soften,cause you know your not alone,And you will see how love did penetrate, that heart that was once stone.
So take a chance ,and dont give up on your dream for forever after,To find that very perfect one to fill your life with laughter.
