For do not grieve or shed ye tears
A hug I give to thee
Start a brave and strong young soul
Your journey which ye see

I find these verses particularly encouraging. Since English is not my first language, I do have some "difficulty" in letting the old English vocabulary flow as easily as the more current language. Nonetheless, I believe I "get" this. Thank you for sharing, Carol. Love and best wishes,

This is an excellent write to past relationships. Love is and should be remembered for the good points of your life. It two are meant to depart, then it must be so. You need to rotate your poetry I almost overlooked it.

This one has an old-timey feel to it, like the nineteenth century. It tells a wonderful story about moving on while looking back and remembering what's in the mist. Very charming and quite seductive.

SETTING ONE FREE TO LOVE AGAIN BECAUSE...'WE' CAN NEVER BE. THIS IS A HARD BITTERSWEET PILL TO SWALLOW BUT...AT THE SAME TIME, IT IS A 'KINDNESS' THAT SHOULD EVER BE APPRECIATED. WELL DONE AND THANKS FOR SHARING, LILY. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...

For on you live and always will

With new one that awaits

You are a beacon of love to all sweet lady. Never shall you dim or blur into a distance. That which is given cannot be taken back. Love is forever and if true never should they part. Hold to that which loves as much as you do.

Stay well and keep writing

Dear Lady Lily, the Authoress Diana is correct there is great forgiveness in these lines, but also great love for one so possessed of it as yourself.

Yes dear lady Lily, this is what love is

I bow and tip my hat to you

Whether it really happened or it is imaginary, it touches deeply to see how difficult it is to let one go.
But never turn around in anger, turn around and smile because of all the beautiful memories.
Turn around and look at the blur in the distance and smile.

Beautiful and deeply touching

Lily,
A beautiful tale of a lover who gives that which is the truest measure of love, that which allows one to let go of the other if it is what the other wants or needs. A lovely tale written perfectly.

Life, and love, is a series of found and lost, but if we manage to take from each experience something to better the next one we will be better in each case. I wish I had understood this many, many years ago, I would have been a better person.
