Will You

Will You?

Will you walk with me?
I’m not looking for marriage
Past loves left me so lonely
This pain – I come with baggage

Will you talk to me?
For you erase my sadness
Your counsel helps so much, you see
Without you, I fall to madness

Will you accept me?
Trust issues I tote along
I have fears of what’s to be
But I vow I’ll not do you wrong

I hope they said yes. the questioning is painful, putting yourself out there, when they could say no and totally reject you.

I have an 8yr. old son ya know ! *winkers* If I walk with a soul; it is for the acceptance,. If I talk with a soul; likewise ! When I fish in the sea; it is for the keeping ! Much love to you Carolyn....james

Wow, this is a truly devoted friend right here! I would love to actually meet someone just like this in your write! Of course it's always nice to be needed as this person would be needing me! This friend would be a true best friend! I would hold her, console her, alleviate her fears, and just be her friend! Your rhyming pattern was done expertly! Your write is an awesome and magnificent poem! I love your write wholeheartedly! Great Work!!

Three most beautiful and essential feelings you have conveyed in a very soft tone "Will you walk with me?" "Will you talk to me?" and "Will you accept me?" These wonderful ideas and feelings hovers on the mind of a beloved, when she starts weaving dreams for someone. It's a sweet weaving of dreams in the daylight of reality. Lovely write from your ever sweet pen. Sorry that I am still not regular and am coming on your beautiful pages after missing so much. Hope you are keeping fine my friend. Love and best wishes always...Ravindra....Carolyn Devonshire
