Emotions Are . . . .

Emotions Are

The feelings that were yours
the first time you looked into the
face of the one you love
and knew that it was they
that would forever hold your heart

~~ Emotions are ~~

Remembering unexpectedly
the first time your baby smiled

~~ Emotions are ~~

Looking into the eyes of someone
you love knowing in certainty that
they will soon pass
yet knowing in truth they shall
forever be a part of you

~~ Emotions are ~~

Holding closely your
grandchildren and knowing that
they will soon no longer
be children but young adults

Emotions play to wish them
everything that life can
bring to them in happiness

~~ Emotions are ~~

Feeling as if your heart
will burst with pride at the
accomplishment of goals met
by your children

They are also the cause
of a broken heart when you watch
them face their first true sorrow

~~ Emotions are ~~

The weeping of your heart
the day before a long awaited visit
must come to an end

It is knowing that the tears that today
fills your heart will tomorrow
escape your eyes

Emotions of separation
are so hard to bare
and are not easily put aside

~~~ Emotions are ~~~

So much the part
that makes us the people
who are we

They can bring us to great joy
or they can cause our heart's to weep
with the passing of someone we love

Our emotions can sometimes
cause us to cling too tightly
love too deeply and
hurt too easily

Through our emotions
we are taught lessons of the heart
that are to become the strengths
of our future

Being true to our emotions
allows us to look into a mirror
and somewhat like
the person that looks back at us

To love . . . to smile
to be drawn to someone
just because
of the beauty of their words

To have a tear escape our eyes
because a song has touched our heart
Or to feel anger
because of an injustice of a day

All are a part of this word
of so many meanings

Each time I enter into this site
it is the words of my emotions
that you see
as the person who sits
behind these keys

~~ Feelings of emotion ~~

Are the parts of our soul
that seeks release
in another form other than
a smile or a teardrop

Emotions beg to be shared
and not held too deeply within

If it were not for our emotions

Poetry ....

Would have no basis for its beginning
Its 'heartsongs' never spoken

Just thinking out loud today
Blessings to everyone
