"Perhaps"

 

 

   "Perhaps"

Perhaps...she cared too much,

Wished for a life, beyond her touch.

Mayhaps...she saw the starlit sky,

And blindly let life pass her by.

Perhaps...she dreamed too much,

Longing for a wedding, lace and such.

Mayhaps... she reached for an impossible thing,

Home, children and a wedding ring.

Perhaps...she loved too much!

Valentine

Love is out there ...just hard to find for some. They need to broaden their scope. Kathie

Beautiful and amazing poetry dear friend. The perhaps and chances , are a words that lead us to places we need to be or not. I like the old wisdom. Take no chances, know no pleasure. Thank you dear friend for sharing the excellent poetry.

Loved that,'take no chances...know no pleasure. Kathie

Old father saying. He had five wives and 11 children. He took a lot of chances.

This piece reminds me of a young girl, I once knew. Her shelves, lined, with romantic novels. She'd read them religiously. Now and then, I'd catch her with a smile, painted on her lips, while she'd stared off, into some daydream. But when love came, she'd flee. She would pour her heart into school. Has an amazing career. But each time love came, she'd flee...Till this day, she still reads her romantic novels.
She has grown in to a strong, beautiful, independent woman. This time it's the men, who seem to flee...:)

Beautifully written Valentine. With such lovely and soft notes.

I had it all but death took it away. Still love him and wear my wedding ring. Just not ready to look again. Kathie

Dear Kathie,

I hope it brings you joy, in knowing, he is always with you in spirit.
Although, I've never owned a wedding ring. The memories and the bonds
we've shared, with our loved ones will always live on, in our hearts and minds.
In the beauty that surrounds us and in all of God's wonderful creations.
Nicely penned and truly heartfelt.

Wishing you blessings. Love and light.

Perhaps, indeed - a dream to hold close to, however once opened can never go back, well done, good read.

Sometimes I wonder about that myself Valentine, is it so wrong to wish for such things...it is a hard thing to love so unconditionally, blessings...
