Notes About The Poem

 

Appears in my book "Ripples"

Belle


Faintly the church bell tolls
On the hour, faintly she sighs
She cries out to the Lord
About the how's and whys 
She's a women
(Some say she is scorned)
Most don't see the women I see
A lover with love she's adorned
She can smile in the sun
And hide in the moon
But when she has a sad
I feel our hearts rhythm in tune
She's not a ragdoll
Even if it is for a laugh
I know b'cuz of two hearts twain
She is one half
I look at her and think, you  
Can take the old and mend'em new
A second hand heart makes do
(With all she's been through)
