Footprints In The Mind
Miss You :o)
~~ Poems ~~
Many days have come and gone
Since the day you shared with me
It was Our Day
A Red Letter Day for me
We shared much more than just time
Laughter ~
Conversation ~
Silence ~
You gave me reason to smile again
And be excited about tomorrow
Now, when sadness surrounds me
That you were gone so soon
I try to rejoice
That you ever came at all
Have you ever smiled
And said goodnight
When you were really
Saying goodbye
From time to time
A stranger appears
And presses a button
That starts emotions
Churning within us
But it's not so much that person
As it is our interpretation
Of what they can mean to our Life
That makes our throat dry
Our speech hesitant
But worst of all
Makes us so very, very
Vulnerable
Maybe someday I'll be lucky enough
to hold you in my arms
Rather than just in my mind
Maybe someday I'll trade in empty dreams
For the treasure of a lifetime memory
And the cold of the World
Will be shattered by your warmth
Someday I will smile
And find the warmth of my smile
Reflected back to me
Someday I will reach out
And find that I only have to reach halfway
For someone will be reaching out to me
Someday I will find
The true meaning of the word Love
That many use so carelessly
Someday I will find
Someone with whom I can share
But for now I must try to know myself
And the World around me
So when the time comes for me to give
I will know the meaning
Of my Gift
