Number One

  

I’ve been lucky

To have a childhood

With a complete home

Everyone healthy

As us kids became adults.

 

I’ve been blessed

With four best friends

That started in grade school

And to this day

Remains so strong.

 

I’ve been fortunate

To have made many

Other friends,

Some very special

But all of them are great.

 

I’ve had the pleasure

To rock the stage

Playing my music

In front of thousands

With electrifying results.

 

I’ve been honored

To be there for anyone

Who has needed a hand

Laving some happy faces

Along the way.

 

I’ve had to pleasure

To travel around

And see half of this

Great country of ours

Soaking up the cultures.

 

I’ve been fortunate

To have the affections

Of some wonderful ladies

Even when I didn’t think

I deserved it.

 

Still there is one thing

I’ve never done

Despite all my living,

Adventures and pitfalls...

 

Being number one

In someone’s heart.

Awww! that is so, What was that? Talk about blowing a wad...lol. You where doing so well. I bet you have been number one in many a woman's heart, it just wasn't right for you at the time. How old are you? Just kidding.
It seems to me that you have a wonderful life with lots to look forward to also. All your p's and q's in order. You know what end is up. That is all great, and you know it will only get better. You just need to shed that tiny bit of lonliness you got going on. But everybody has that.
PS when you do become that number one in someone's heart, don't forget, number one is real close to number two. Does that make it better? Keep up the good work. Thinking of you.

This was so touching and sad
we can be so many things
to others and go through so
many things in life but to not
have that one person to share it
with is tough.. Thank you for
sharing a piece of your heart,
it was very sincere and very
well written..

Oh my friend ,how this really touched me..I think ,for me ,this is the best you have done..
what lovely emotions..I was so happy to read this..
I am glad you have been lucky almost through your life..childhood was good ,healthy home
And you say you were blessed with good friends all the way..
And its very kind and very touching and very admirable to be always there to extend a hand
and spread smiles here and there..You had the pleasure of winning affection of some lovely ladies
and so humble still to say some affection you never deserved..
Its surprising if still you have not rated No One in some one heart..
But I think after writing this you will score as number one for sure in many hearts ,ha ha
You scored here for sure ha ha..
lovely write..

Well at least you are concentrating on the blessings that you do have instead of the one thing you don't have. Way to keep a positive attitude, Dale. I would bet you were number one in someone's heart. Only problem being that it didn't last. You are a compassionate and caring individual that likes being real and honest. This goes a long way in relationships. Thanks for sharing your heart with us.

Oh Dale, it will, it WILL happen!

Sometimes people jump into the first pair of arms that reach out then, find the arms would go out to anyone and everyone. But, those other arms, the ones that only reach out for special folk wait until the right time for her or him .. that him will be you .. promise.

This is a great poem, says so much about you as a person - Dale, the who and what you are. Out there is a pretty, sweet-hearted lady waiting patiently and wisely to be ' number one in someone's heart ' - YOU.

There, do you feel a little better now? :))

So sad that you should have so much but not that be in that one special one's heart.. great flow of honesty .. it's wonderful that you have been fortunate throughout the years with your friends and family.. getting on stage and performing.. did it a couple of times.. not in front of thousands.. but it certainly was a thrill to sing in front of others.. I hope you find the women of your truest dreams.. everyone needs someone special.. without that we feel lonely in that one very important way! =)

Absolutely amazing and a wonderful piece. Such a wonderful sentiment you give about all those important to your life. I truly hope you become number on in someones heart. Oh what a beautiful thing that would be. I do hope you find it you deserve happiness. :-)
