Heartache

My love can never be expressed,
My heart can never be at rest.

I long to see his beloved face.
Yet, in his life I have no place.

I did not chose the when or where
Or the lonely days that I must bear.

But treasure I this tender ache….
To give completely, for love’s sake.

A sad piece but written with true depth of love and soul. Do not give up on love because all things are possible in faith, it may not be the way we want it but love will come again in a most magical and special way. Congratulations on your win. Smiles from Lolita~ my prayers and thoughts are with you.

I think I know where this is coming from, Barbara, and I wish you didn't have to feel such pain. We live; we learn; we move on with our knowledge. I hope you find your soul mate soon. It's such a wonderful feeling and you deserve this happiness! Love you! Carolyn
