And I, the Poor Lost Soul That She Did Gladly Save

And I, The Poor Lost Soul That She Did Gladly Save Early dawn in the midst of a cool windswept day I rose to see life and smile, as if her love was new Air so very fine smells of jasmine and daisy Beauty and fragrance flows into the bedroom Life awakes, fantastic miracles are waiting O' bless are those that inhale and finally see That man and earth are divided but also as one Kids riding bicycles wildly across the lawn Sunny rays gleaming forth onto the patio deck And why does sweet life and pure love seem so close As happiness sends feelings of her sand-burnt hair I walk to the park, her romantic touch awaits. She that so longs for me to be her willling slave. And I, the poor lost soul that she did gladly save. Robert J. Lindley, Jan21st 1977 Sonnet

Thank you, my friend. This poem was about a relationship that started out as gold and turned to lead. As her family hated me because I was not wealthy and snobbish like them. God bless.

Thank you, my friend. It was at first a powerfully deep love for us both. But her family messed that up. She was influenced too much by them , imho. But life flowed ever onward. I eventually moved on.

Thank you, my friend. I about 8 months. But her dated her for family eventually broke us up. Sad. But she graduated college the next year and got married shortly afterwards. God bless.

Thank you, my good friend. Youth, I was too wild and she was too jealous. We loved for a short season and then she turned into a hating thing. I tried to make it ok but she wanted to hate me. Sad.
