My Dear

My Dear, I tell you in words, that I love you true.
Sometimes I feel that is not enough, just for you.

So I am writing this letter in rhyme from my heart.
Though I show you, I love you, on every days start.

This is not sufficient, for one that gloriously divine.
Adequate expressions are lost to describe, .love of mine.

Gifts unavailable to express, all that I have received.
My Dear, delivering my treasures, completely as conceived.

Each night my goal, to slowly fulfill your expectations,
Together our souls; will discover such exploitations.

You are a man who truly knows how to love and show love, Cecil. This is a beautiful profession of your affection and devotion. So romantic! Much love to you, dear friend. I've been off the Soup for a while with company, but they leave tomorrow. Love you! Carolyn

Written to a special woman in your life I hope because it expresses so well your love for her. Thanks for the comments on my poem about my the square that is my home town. It is fairly well kept but a man came into town and bought the hotel and other property put on a big show of how he was going to restore it and draw people here as tourist. He did a little work of tearing out then ran out of money. The buildings are in bankruptsy court or something or too expensive. Keep writing. Sara
