My Passionate Write

How I long to hold you 
Close in my arms
Press kisses to your cheek
And enfold you near to my heart

Run a warm bath 
And bath you tenderly
Pat you dry gently
Lie you down between 

Soft fluffy warm sheets
Lie close to your body
After you have been amply
Fed the food of life for tummy

To protect you from all strife
I can't go there or do those
Magical acts
Just my prayer today 

For God to send someone
In my place to see that 
These wonderful acts of humanity
Are carried out for you...

(The passion of my heart for all hurting, hungry, and neglected children of the world..)

Marry me!. Please. lol I don't know or care what else you have going on, but I want to marry you now, so I thought I would put that out there lol... Such talent, I get passionate about anything that has to do with children, you should read my poem "Emily" and see why. That little girl changed me for the better. I love this piece!!! It just made me propose to you...that's how incredible this is... Wow.. GREAT
