Someday, You will be listening elsewhere,
Your attention on some other voice.
But, for now, I enjoy your attention,
My Words and Message … your choice.
Someday will find you refocused,
On new Vistas, Horizons not now known.
But, for now, I enjoy your attention,
My Heart, my Desires can be shown.
Someday, you will go over yonder,
Discovering and exploring new Worlds.
But, for now I enjoy your attention,
A tapestry, of Possibilities, unfurled.
Someday, you will forget what I’ve told you,
Circumstance diluting what we share.
But, for now, I enjoy your attention,
Delighting, in this chance, to show Care.
Someday you may ask, “Who has loved Me?” …
In a moment of Loneliness or Fear.
But, for now, I enjoy your attention,
Repeating, again, “I love You” … happy that you are still near.

Oh Rose, My Sweet Darlin' Friend! I am so glad that you enjoyed this little attempt to express my appreciation, for the Moments, invested by Folks, here. I wanted to reflect how significant these brief Visits are to me. You make me feel that I may have said it, at least, pleasantly. I love You (you know!)
My HUGs to You ...
To know that I have honored your kind Hospitality, with a Gift of Something that You will remember, is a blessing and a Joy for Me, Dear Annette. Our delightful Friendship is the Stuff that makes Life a rewarding experience for me. I am grateful for and happy with Life's blessing.
My loving HUGs to You ...
This one is just so beautiful, John-Michael. Just beautiful.
You, My Darling NiteByrd, have just succeeded in making me feel very good! I am so delighted to think that I have brought something to You, that You receive, as beautiful.
I love You ...
very wistful.
know that i wish all the love you give to be returned to you many times over.
My intention, Lime, My Darling, was far more "celebratory" of the Moment that I share with a Reader and Friend ... than the "wistful" that you hear. For, you see, I embrace the changes and evolutions that are a natural part of the passage of time and circumstance. And I happily acknowledge this wonderful Gift, of our Moments together. (Our lovely Friendship being a glowing example of one Gift that I anticipate enjoying forever!! [smile])
Lovingly ...
Words fail me at the moment, John-Michael, but they obviously did not fail you. Well done!
I thank You, Jim, My SulDog Friend. You surely do encourage and bring a smile to my Soul!
Love Ya ...
John-Michael,
I keep coming back for another sip of your warmth, words. It's beautiful here, and I always depart with a smile.
Thank you!
peace,
Chuck
Chuck, My Delightful New Friend, You gladden my Heart! I thank You for your generous Kindness. Nothing can be better than bringing some measure of warmth, or a smile, to Another. In this I find my Self fulfilled.

Lovely and powerful poem. I appreciate you sharing it.
Linda
I thank You, Linda, for your thoughtful kindness. You have genuinely touched me with the spirit of your Presence.
Lovingly ...
Such a lovely place to visit, John-Michael. You have an engaging warmth and obvious compassion. You also have a special spot on your sidebar for some of my favorite people, to include Joseph Campbell, which says a lot to me.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my visit!
~ Calli
I am smiling in appreciate recognition, of the lovely Blessings that I have known, in such as Joseph Campbell. I gratefully embrace and delight in You, Dear Calli, as Life's Gift for today. How wonderful!
Lovingly ...
