THERE IS

Marie Moore

 

There is someone
in my life who truly touches
my soul way down deep inside where
no one else can see. He doesn’t know about this
thing I am trying to produce, nor would he notice it if it
were not pointed out. He loves me and has asked me to
marry him in two summers, but he can’t afford a ring---yet.
Next year he’ll be here and we can navigate our way thru
this thing called life together because of this other thing
called love. Even when no one else can see my
pain, he is there beside me, struggling
to see me make something of
myself, and wishing
he could do
more.
