Cool poem girl--even cooler story behind it.
I was thinking that this was part of an ongoing series you were doing about yourself. When I read your notes I realized that you're an awesome friend to those in your life.
I love the art work top and bottom.

Hi, Missy

_ Indeed--it is such a wonderful think to witness--love in later years.
_ One knows what they want from another person, and are most likely not willing to compromise.
_ The best thing for me was to meet Tom later in life. Makes me appreciate him all the more. Charm, mixed with compassion and honor--very hard to come by these days. I have them all and sooo much more with him. Blessed to the max.
_ Beautifully written, lovely Southern Lady. (*,*)

Cheers & Blessings
Keep Smilin'... Jacqueline // Jackie // Jax (*:*)

This was very nicely written and a touching tribute to the two. The flow made a smooth read with each line transitioning easily. No matter what age you are when love finds you it is a blessing. God bless.

    I agree, Lance. It is indeed a blessing. I watch and admire them for having the courage to take the chance on love.

    Thank you for reading and reviewing my work :)

Hey, Missy. You should never feel you have to apologize for not being able to promote to stratospheric levels. Your TRUE fans would read your work for two cents. I often do (when I can) because of the topics I deal with. Death, mayhem and murder...no one wants to read about that depressing stuff, LOL.

But this...this is anything BUT depressing. This proves that there is someone out there for anyone, regardless of their circumstances, age or standing in life.

And I for one think that's a very nice thing to know.

I'm really happy for these two. May they grow older, together...

With admiration
~Dean

This is a sweet poem ... to match your sweet story, as outlined in your author notes. It is a wonderful thing to find love; and, it is particularly wonderful to find it in one's senior years.

"Faith in each other ... our rock" says it all!

Very nice!

Starting at the wrong end. I love the way you end the letter; what a difference leaving out the y makes.

Working back up the letter,

I am not alon,
You're aching to

That should be too meaning also as opposed to the infinitivce to.

FDurther up come the standard lovers' lines tenderly expressed but it was te ending that got me.

It's always nice to read a love story, one that has brought two people together across the miles. Nicely written and presented. There may be a typo here:
"I am not alone
You're aching to (too?)"

    Thanks for the lovely review also, hon!

Emotions went through while reading this poem. Really your heart is evident from your writing. We cannot write so passionately unless we feel it. A deep feeling conveyed in simple words

I often get these letters in the mail, Missy. My heart races with excitement, too, until I find it's the usual electricity bill. The tricks these companies adopt to get us to open this junk, appals me (they even add ribbons to mine). ;-)

Anyway, enough of my silliness. This is great news that two lonely people have found love on line with help from you.

Very romantic poem, without being too mushy. I assume it's written from the POV of the lady in question, and NOT YOU, though of course any writer with imagination and experience can use those tools in a sort of 'cross-over' write to imagine the feelings of others.

Nice one.

Best wishes, Ray xx

    That's what my pretty pet parrot, Polly, says to me, Missy.

    I'd be OK, but she ate my meds. Oh well, I now have crushes on a couple of saucy seagulls that have started to hang out outside my lounge window. Polly is livid with jealousy, but serves her right. Haha.
