Welcome to Amy's Place.
Thank you for the great poem; I will look for a graphic so I can repost it.

We hope you enjoyed your visit and will return often.
We are looking forward to more of your poems.

Thanks for coming by!!

Your welcome. Much like writing something out used to be immensely helpful when trying to commit it to memory, retyping these gems separates them from all the others just read and then forgotten.

Wishing you a lovely Sunday. I see that Ms. Of Soul and myself keep passing each other. I'll check back again L8TR after the little ones are dreaming their dreams.

[JustAmy]

That is a beautiful poem. Thank you for sharing it with us. We've missed you.

I am going to repost it with a graphic and ping a few others. Hope that is okay with you.

Have a beautiful Sunday!!

[JustAmy]

See you later.

I'll ping you to some FReeper poems.

I checked my post above and it says 79 right now and it's almost 5 o'clock.
85 was supposed to be our high.

While I'm here, do you mind if I post this pic?:

It's hot off the press, so to speak. :^D

I remember the first time I kissed you
I wonder if you linger on it, as I do
I remember cold Parson's Green Station
And our mutual hesitation.
We've always had that quality, you and I:
Truly, we can never say good bye
I was going to kiss you on the cheek
And then I got something I had hoped to seek
Your lips met mine and my heart ignited
Feeling joy at our souls united
Do you remember what I then whispered in your ear
Admittedly, it was said through tears -
"I love you with every drop of me."
As it was then, it will always be.

Perhaps I'm a fool to linger over this
But I joyfully remember our first kiss.
I hope that what the future has in store
Is that we will come to love each other more.

Time passed and other kisses I remember
I recall one this past December
You entranced and enraptured me with your kiss
I had never known such perfect bliss
You drew out my soul with your lips
And I felt all of my control freely slip
And then there was a feeling, sweet and new -
I felt as if I melted into you.
You had my heart, my soul, every bit of me
And as it was then, it will always be.

Perhaps I'm mad to linger over this
But I remember each and every kiss
I still hope what the future has in store
Is that we will come to love each other more.

Time moved on, and so did we
And as did the force of destiny
We are not in the same place as we were
But every day, the same feelings stir
Perhaps I'm a fool, I cannot say
Maybe you'll return to me someday

And perhaps you may let me linger
In the entwining our lips and fingers
And when we break our embrace
I'll look at your lovely face
And we'll speak of what is yet to be -
A love lasting for eternity.

Then I'll have been wise to linger over this,
The bright memory of our soft kiss.
For it would be a portent of what was to be
The love of my life returning to me.

Thanks Amy. I always enjoy my visits here. You are doing a great job.

[MeekOneGOP]

hehe! Thank you ! :^D

Dang Meek!That is the ugliest thing I ever remember seeing. The terrorist would be doing the world a favor by cutting off that head.

In my opinion he should be called Sandy (cheeks) Berger. I believe he sneaked out with those documents between his cheeks. No, I don't mean those, on each side of his nose.

[JustAmy]

Thank you!!

I will be reposting your poem in a couple of minutes.

[MeekOneGOP]

LOL! :^D

In an age when indoor plumbing has made out houses obslete,
Democrats try to sell us two Johns they're saying smell sweet.
They'll surely fool some, the dense, the naive and the dumb,
but not we who have been there and remember, where they're coming from.

Democrats have promised the moon and the stars, and heaven right now.
They offer more pork and baloney than your arteries would need to go pow!
A billionaire and a millionaire, the democrats offer for President and Vice,
Pretending they're feeling our pain-isn't that nice?

Kerry and Edwards , a pair of playboys with nary a clue,
of the size of the crisis this world's going through,
or their own lack of talent to finish the chore,
else they too would be rooting for Bush in 04.

I may have a bad moment,
But never a bad day.
People seem to doubt it’s true,
My life can be this way.
But it’s true, believe or not,
I’ll tell you what I do.
Strong I stand, for my beliefs,
I fight when I have to.
When and where the fight will be,
I’m careful, how I choose.
I may not win every time,
But never, do I lose.
To lose requires surrender,
I bow down to no man.
I kneel before my Maker,
That’s part of His great plan.
I always pray for guidance,
I act on His advice.
He leads me on the venture,
Provides the right device.
By His Dear Grace I’m thriving,
I have all that I need.
I thank Him for His Mercy,
He Blesses me indeed.
My fight may end tomorrow,
But only He, does know.
I’ll bow my head, lift my hands,
Toward His Holy Glow.
