I Have Written Letters That I Can Never Send
Letter After Letter After Letter. . .
I have written you so many letters.
Letter that started out telling you that I love you.
Then letters telling you  how I much I want you
Hearing your voice meant so much. I felt like a little girl stealing Candy
It’s true, I Love You
You are the only one I’ve ever loved
Sure there have been others
Sure I told them
But none were you
just words to others
Your heart will not be mine
That time with you is the best I’ll ever get
So it seems I wait in vain
For love that is not shared…but still
I love you & always will do

They love where the waves wash up on the shore
And where sunsets and sunrises are always
Seen from the rocky islands
With the silhouettes of palm trees
As the sun goes down behind
The curtain of the west
And takes his rest
Then the Moon and stars
Come out and twinkle
And shine their brightness
For all to see
And the Sea Fairies
Come out on the shore
And dance to the Tropical songs
That all Sea Fairies love to sing
And they dance upon the shore
They dance all Night
When tired they sit upon the cool sand
Of the beach
And sit there
Watching the waves
And the dark blue sea
With it's reflection of the full Moon
The Hibiscus is awake with the
Sea Fairies
And she unfurls her soft sweet petals
Towards the full Moon*

In Springtime all the roses bloom
And sunshine dances on the path
And it's rays will dance in my room
While my cats take their warm sunbath

The breezes blow the deep-green leaves
And stir the honeysuckles sweet
That grow around the tall green trees
And bloom in the warm Spring sun's heat

Oh let the breeze caress my cheeks
And let it stir the lilacs sweet
And make the flowers waltz at my feet
That grow in meadows with wheat

Oh let me kiss the buds of May
And drink in their sweetest perfume
That sweetly dances in my room
Along with the sunshine of day
