For Those Who Love Me

Description:
I just all the sudden began musing.....you never know your own worth until you can help another.
For Those Who Love Me
For those who love me, I love you, too. At times I think my whole being, Is because of you. The laughs, the tears, The many words of advice. For you I’d pass up everything, And never think twice. For you I would go, To the highest of any extent. Just to supply you with some strength, And make sure you’re content. I would run any distance, Even if my breath were taken away. Just so I could give you my arms, And together we could pray. I would put myself aside, And leave my problems where they lay. Just so I can see you smile, And brighten up your day. I would learn to listen, Even if I were going deaf. I would give you all I could provide, Even though I myself, would have nothing left. Just for the feeling of what I supply, Just for the knowledge to know your alive. Just for the picture of seeing you smile. Just for the power from walking the mile. Just for the moment of hearing you laugh. Just so I knew we walked the same path. Just for the emotion of feeling your pain. Just for the recognition of knowing your name. |

Either way it's pretty damn great. | This is a beautiful piece, LiLi. I think my favorite is the last stanza, that just brings it all home. Great write, Traci :) | Posted on 2005-12-05 00:00:00 | by onetruesmartass | [ Reply to This ] | You are one of the most UNSELISH persons i've ever known...and for me knowing first hand that every single one of the above words is true...just makes me feel like I'm fortunate to have a friend and most importantly a SISTER like you... | beautiful muse sis... | Posted on 2005-12-05 00:00:00 | by Brownsdelight | [ Reply to This ] | musing? damn, I'd love to know what your "deep" thoughts are like. This is really, really sweet. Normally, I don't care much for "sweet" but in this case I'll gladly make an exception. You're a truly talented writer and anyone would be lucky to count you as a friend. Great job, I hope all your friends realize how lucky they are to have found someone like you. | J | Posted on 2005-12-05 00:00:00 | by bentnotbroken | [ Reply to This ] | you WERE musing huh???

A good friend, a family member boyfriend and etc. I find this very cute and something that everyone should think about. Because I'm sure there are people out there who deserve a lot from someone else to give up something for them. If that made any sense. |  . haha. I hope you got what I was trying to say. But anywhoo...I loved the rhyming! It gave it such a good flow and everything seemed perfect from my standpoint. . So I give you as many thumbs up as I can which is probably 2 lol. But if I could I'd give ya more. haha. Nice!Brenna | Posted on 2005-12-01 00:00:00 | by Day DreaMeR | [ Reply to This ] | This is really sweet. It is so true that helping others makes us feel better. | No critiques came to mind. It was just really sweet. I enjoyed reading it very much. Thanks for sharing. :) | Posted on 2005-12-01 00:00:00 | by DisilusndDreamr | [ Reply to This ] | I love this poem, it puts all the best of friendship into simple lines and expresses it very well. Only advice maybe stick to just one rhyming meter, I was a bit confused when it went from every other line to couplets, but it still flowed well. Great job, I can’t wait to read more. | | Posted on 2005-12-01 00:00:00 | by Lady Almira | [ Reply to This ] | This reminds me of a quote I read | "Present your family and friends with their eulogies now - they won't be able to hear how much you love them and appreciate them from inside the coffin." ~Unknown. I believe that quote is so true and wonderful; just like I believe this write is simple, and captivating in that it's so real-life-ish. lol I like the "For those who love me, I love you, too." beginning. You then led the readers into many different scenarios, memories, and feelings that everyone can relate to. This is just wonderful. It made me smile and appreciate the family and friends I have. Thank you for that. Take care. -blt | Posted on 2006-03-07 00:00:00 | by borderlinetears | [ Reply to This ] | |
