Hope For Soul Mate Searchers

For so many years I had been alone
Was it God’s plan that this lifestyle had shown?
I’d accepted, had no expectation
Of ever finding a special connection

My life is changing in so many ways
New town, new home and a question that begs
Was it patience God wanted me to learn?
Is happiness something we have to earn?

Introspective days brought revelation
And now I welcome a new sensation
Just seeing his face brings a smile to mine
He heals me with words so gentle and kind

We know not what the days ahead will bring
But just having faith can make a heart sing
So hang in there, dear friends, seeking soul mates
Do not despair, a bright future may wait

Just lead a good life, be thankful, feel joy
Allow God some time blessings to employ
One day sun’s rays o’er the hill will arise
A soul mate may appear in morning skies

happiness may be the only thing to save a certain person from darkness.for them to stop with it 'completely'.even through suffering they may earn it, in a different way, but it might not be there yet.thats what i think about that certain person anyway.i also believe that you are a very strong spirit Carolyn, you have a lot patience for many things. -Always&Forever Lynette

I bet you are a beautiful older lady. Is your name really Carolyn? You are a healer, so rare in these parts. It is lonely, sometimes.

I pretty much live my life alone. I prefer it that way. I feel I have grown. I'm glad you found your soul mate. I hope your situation remains that way. Until next time Carolyn. Have a glorious day. Just wanted to thank you for your very kind words regarding my work "Dear DaD." I'm very sorry if it depressed you. Thanks again for your comments. Best Wishes Always Carolyn. Bill

I am breathless over this poem, Carolyn, and believe God led me to read to tonight... I have been searching forever to find my counterpart since my ugly divorce but learning patience (of which I have none) is a hard lesson .. this is truly encouraging and u spoke exactly what I am feeling... maybe I need to move from N.J. to let him find me...quite inspirational and going to my favorites as u are one of my favorite poets on Soup.

Dear Carolyn, you made me happy with your lines. I also have no idea what will expect mewhen moving to Zittau in Saxoinia. It is so close to the Czech and Polish border and that is motivating! I hope I will settle there soon aver moving. Thank you for your comments. Love, Gert
