Here Are A Few Of My Favorite
Poems.
I Hope You Will Enjoy Them.
My Faceless Friend
Your face, your smile, I have never seen
I don't know the color of your skin
Your voice and laughter I have never heard
I don't know if it is soft or loud
Your hugs I have never felt
I don't know the strength of your arms
Your hand I have never touched
I don't know if it is calloused and worn
But to me you are my FRIEND
Dearer and sweeter than many I've found.
The question come to me, "How can that be?"
You don't know a face, a touch or a sound
But is it the physical nature of a person
That causes me to call you "my friend"
Or the feel of a touch or the strength of a hug?
I don't need those for you to be my friend
You have shared with me words of strength
At times I have felt weak and worn
You have brought to me a smile, a laugh
Uplifting me and bringing me joy
You have bent your "ear" to me and listened
Then gently guided and directed me with your words
You have hugged me tight and wiped my tears
Then generously gave to me above and beyond
You are more to me than words on a screen
For behind those words is a person who cares
A person with feelings, a tear, and a laugh
Who holds my mind safe and secure
For even though I don't know your face, your touch
I feel and see you in my mind
You have been all to me that I needed you to be.
Now and forever within my heart ---
MY FACELESS FRIEND

A Woman's Heart Is Like The Rose
The Rose is a fragile flower
To plant it, the ground must be prepared
With rich soil beneath the hardened surface
So the plant can take root and grow
Tenderly, it's placed in the soil
Carefully filled in, and then watered and
fed
Its delicate leaves must be treated now and
then
To keep its enemies at bay
In the warm glow of sunlight
It prospers and blooms
Into a flower which has become
The symbol of beauty and love to the world
Once it blooms, its petals must be misted
To keep them from drying and withering
If the Rose is not treated with such tender
care
It will die ... its beauty, sadly, gone forever
A woman's heart is like that Rose
It too must be handled with care
It is strong and yet fragile somehow
Needing that loving care to bloom and grow
The rich soil is a love that is true
So her love can grow and blossom
Instead of leaves and petals, she has feelings
and dreams
That must be treated with understanding and
encouragement
Her enemies are loneliness, fear, and mistrust
They will destroy her heart, eating away at
the love that grows there
Frequent misting with honest, softly spoken,
loving words
Will keep those enemies away
Instead of sunlight, a tender touch
From one who sees the beauty within her
Though she herself may not even know it's
there
This will give her heart a glow
Just like the Rose, without these things
A woman's heart will wither
And suddenly this thing of beauty and its
love
Are lost to you forever

A Chance Of The Heart
My Love
My Heart Burns For You
All The Passion Inside
I Feel At Any Moment
My Heart Will Burst Forth
And Proclaim My Undying Love For You
But Do I Dare Take A Chance?
My Heart Is So Tender And Filled With Fear
While My Life Passes By
I Am Torn By Indecision
Should I Throw Caution To The Wind And Risk All?
To Bare My Soul And Offer My Heart
It Blooms With Love For You
To Spread My Wings And Let Love Take Flight
My Love Is A Rushing River
It Goes On And On Eternally
To Find The Courage And Tell Her I Care
Yes! Yes! I Must!
These Feelings Of Love Will Smother Me
And How Will We Ever Know
I Must Endeavor To Set My Heart Free!
Courage Did Not Fail Me!
A Gamble Of The Heart Reaps Promise
My Heart Sings Songs Of Gladness My Fear Has Melted Into Joy
One Look Into Her Eyes Told Me
We Would Be Forever Bound By Love
Oh, To Float On A Cloud With You
The Love Flows From Our Hearts
And Carries Us Along
Blissfully Happily So Much In Love
The Trueness Of Our Hearts Apparent To All
