I think that the first poem below is a
very nice poem, because to become good mates
and have a good relationship you must be friends first.
Thank you Wendy for letting me use your poem. You are a
very
good writer. Keep up the good work.
A FRIEND MOST TRUE
I need to know if you're my true friend,
will you be by my side until the end?
Can I tell you my secrets deep,
and trust them in your heart you'll keep?
We are neither of us without our flaws,
can you accept mine as I will yours?
I'll be a shoulder to cry on when you're blue,
will you be there for me when I need you?
No matter how busy I will make time for you,
if you are busy will you make time for me too?
I will take your hand and comfort your tears,
will you hold me and soothe my fears?
I will give you joy and many warm smiles,
can we share that even across many miles?
I will not forget what's important to you,
will you remember what's important to me too?
With you my most favourite things I'll share,
If only I know do you truly care?
If you can accept me as I do you,
then I will know you are a friend most true.

Getting along without a heart,
They say is hard to do.
But I would gladly give mine up,
If it were claimed by you!

If I dared, to think you cared,
The thought would be divine;
And so I pray, that you will say,
You'll be my Valentine.
THE LEGEND OF THE VALENTINE...
The legend says St. Valentine
Was in a prison cell
Thinking of his little flock
He had always loved so well
And wanting to assure them
Of his friendship and his love
He picked a bunch of violets
And sent them by a dove.
And on the violets' leaves
He pierced these lines divine
That simply said, "I Love You"
And "I'm your Valentine"
So through the years that followed
From that day unto this
Folks still send messages of love
And seal them with a kiss.
Because a Saint in prison
Reached through prison bars one day
And picked a bunch of violets
And sent them out to say
That faith and love can triumph
No matter where you are
For faith and love are greater
Than the strongest prison bar.
--Helen Steiner Rice
I NEVER DREAMED
I never dreamed one smile could fill,
my world with warmth and light....
Until your smile made all my days
so beautiful and bright.
I never realized someone
could change my life so much....
Until you shared your caring ways,
your strength, your tender touch.
I never thought that love could be
this endless, deep and true....
Until the day I gave my heart
and all my love to you.
--Emily Matthews
THE TIME IS NOW
If you're ever going to love me,
love me now while I can know.
The sweet and tender feelings,
which from true affections flow.
Love me now while I am living,
do not wait until I'm gone.
And then have it chiseled in marble,
sweet words on ice cold stone.
If you have tender thoughts of me,
please tell me now.
If you wait until I am sleeping,
never to awaken,
there will be death between us,
and I won't hear you then.
So if you love me even a little bit,
let me know it while I am living,
so I can know and treasure it.

I LOVE YOU
When we first met
I held back so much
afraid to show my deepest feelings
As I got to know you better
your gentleness and honesty
encouraged me to open up
and I started a trust
in you that I never had
with anyone else
Once I started to express
my feelings
I realized that
this is the only way
to have a relationship
It is such a
wonderful feeling
to let myself
be completely known to you
Thank you
so much
for showing me
what two people can
share together
I look forward to
spending many beautiful
times with you

LOVE
There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer;
no disease that enough love will not heal;
no door that enough love will not open;
no gulf that enough love will not bridge;
no wall that enough love will not throw down;
no sin that enough love will not redeem.
It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the
trouble;
how hopeless the outlook;
how muddled the tangle;
how great the mistake.
A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.
If only you could love enough you would be the happiest
and most powerful being in the world.
