I love to smile.. and I love to live life to the fullest. I am looking for a someone who can understand that a good relationship starts as a good friendship. I am NOT looking for some overnight love affair.. nor am I looking to meet someone and the date go good so next week we are going to get married. LOL. I want a partner for life, someone who knows me, adores me, respects me, and cherishes me just as I do them. It might seem corny to some but this is a poem I wrote some time ago. Seed of Love A wink from across the room smile of sweetness, you ume a touch on the shoulder as they walk by a wave from a stranger as they say "Hi" handing you tissue as you cry gentle nod to you as they p by there are so many great ways to plant a seed of love that stays Share their bible as he preaches bake them a pie, full of peaches get it down, if its too high grab his hat if it flies by tell them the time, when they can't find a clock if their hands are full, help them with the lock there are so many great ways to plant a seed of love that stays Help them read if they forgot their gles hold their hand help them through the mes offer to get up if they need a chair look in their eyes with loving care cherish forever the life God has given you love unconditionally those who love you too there are so many great ways to plant a seed of love that stays Tell them they are beautiful, and they know you don't lie stand beside them till the day you die there are so many great ways to plant a seed of love that stays. By Mandie Lee 10-10-05 MY FAVORITE POEM ( I am not suicidal nor have I ever been there is a deeper meaning.. its art.. take it as you SEE It) Midnight As the rain falls steadily on cold, paved ground I close my eyes, only listening to the sound Of the rain as it falls, falls too gently My heart breaks, tears fall, ever so softly Through the rain it does appear An animal so graceful, so charming, ever so sincere A stallion with a tawny coat and a midnight mane He seems to be listening, he can hear the rain Dropping his head it seems he is beckoning me Slowly I approach him and he reaches his head out affectionately Petting him, sliding my hand down his tawny coat The water cascading, nothing but water does he tote He "neighs" and wiggles, surely with delight Looking upon him, swift and sweet, I'll call him Midnight I jump upon him and ride, rain and wind in my hair Through the hills and valleys, I ride with his back bare SO natural, so perfectly earthly and perfectly me He takes me through a forest, then to the cliff by the sea Magical Midnight, my champion, my friend, my coach to the seas He stops on the cliff and then he drops to his knees I slide off his back and notice the rain has come to a stop I walk to the edge of the cliff and see the deep drop Then I hear it, the sound of the rain as it again falls so gently My heart breaks, tears ever so softly Nothing but one thing can I do I return to his back and admire the view Then back a little in the forest and now I'm ready to answer "why?" I'm ready to set off and soar, and to fly We run through the forest then out towards the cliff The moon shining bright, I'm crying but my heart does lift The end is here, we take to the sky, we glide Slowly falling, "Dear God, I'm sorry, I tried" I couldn't do it, couldn't handle this strife I'm weak and pathetic game up on this life We fall, faster and faster, ne never shows fear Coming closer and closer the end drawing near The last thing I remember, the last of my sight Was listening to the rain while riding Midnight.
