Patient Love

You came like an angel to brighten her life. Invited dreams where hope was rarely found. Fantasizing happiness free from strife. Naivity, charming goodness unbound. You offered a safe haven from pain’s sound. Her trust and joy grew while esteeming you. Her past, long loved, finally heard adieu. In your heart, her dreams, begin to unfold. Willing to make it work and start anew. Patient love makes life more precious than gold. November 15, 2011 Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen

Thank you so very much for reading my poetry and taking time to leave your comment. I appreciate you. I have really enjoyed these few days that I have had the opportunity to write and read some poetry here on the soup. It’s great to be able to do so and hopefully, it will continue. But…life is about to be hectic once again…soon. I send my love. Sincerely, Dane Ann
