Love Found Me & Helped Me Grow
12 September, 2003
Author: Terrie*
I can not believe
that I never took a double look to see
the beauty in the day ,that love found me
he let me be
he let me be free
let me be free to observe and learn from what I would see
free to love and be loved
he let me be me
he let me fly and soar on my own
he gave me my space
he was the only love that I've known
he was my night and day
there was no limit to his love
always something new to share and speak of
his love was unconditional to the brim
all my first experiences were with him
our moments together and apart were precious & never went to waste
like a sweet wine, just by looking our love you could savour the taste
we always appreciated our moments apart
it made us grow fonder deep in our hearts
appreciated each other more
when we let one another soar
my love, he was like the first day of spring
he taught me to put pride aside
he had no secrets ,nothing to hide
he shared my first pain and sorrow
my love always gave me a glimpse of a brighter tomorrrow
he also prepared me for things that may one day be
when the storm rides in
and his soul is set free
he taught me to grow and enjoy life while I'm among the living
he taught me not to cry all my tears
not to fear my fears
when my love died the pain was something I wish was not real
my heart continues to heal
I always thought that love was the strongest feeling in the sphere
when my love died the pain I was feeling was much more severe
I hope if that kind of love ever finds me again, for the second time
I can return it back, like I did at one time
my love he was the echo of my heart beat
he was the music in my ear
my love became
the sweet wine on my lips
"the air that I could feel"
"the music to my ears that I could hear"
"the sunrise and sunset that I could see"
"the love in my heart that continues to grow"
"the srength in my soul that I could share"
"a sweet memory that lives on "

| Martin Vann (171.75.207.252) -- Sunday, September 14 2003, 07:25 pm Terrie, What he gave to you, what you both shared and still do, could have only been his gift of love, he knew, he had with you. All that he gave and shared with you, could not have been, had he not also, been so in love with you. You honor him with this gift of heart, poured into these words, I have no doubt, he returns each memory, each soft touch, each smile, each meal you shared together, was nourished by each other's loving heart and still it grows. Such love never passes away, its stilled shared and treasured, in a different way, as two continue to share and respect, with gratefulness, what both still share. He is home and his love continues for you. This is a poem of happiness, not of one who mourns a loss. This is, an honor of respect and with his blesssing of all his love, he hopes one day, you find not one who can replace his love, but Terrie, one day, you may find, another heart, who can add to all the love you have to share.
