In This Life

I am so happy I could cry (happy tears) !  This is a poem that has been with me for years, and has been changed a lot of times until this time I decided that I would submit it like it is- and that would be it.
I am glad you felt what I feel every time I read this. It just warms and lightens the heart. :-)

Thank you, HF. (I say that even more)

This is so pretty in its sentiment. I think it’s simplicity is its beauty. Thank you for sharing this.

No, thank you for your comment, M. I am really happy that you liked this poem as much as you did. It is my pleasure.

The poem reminds me that true soul-mates transcend time, and may have journeyed together through many past lifetimes, learning life's lessons sometimes together, sometimes separately. {If this theme of 'twin souls' is of interest to you, you might enjoy reading "Twin Souls: finding your true spiritual partner" by Patricia Joudry & Maurie Pressman}.

Thank you for the tip, Josh. I might look into that someday (when I find the time haha). It is a really interesting concept, isn't it?

beautiful Delanee I often feel like I was in Vietnam
I was born in 1969 I feel like my soul exited this place
and entered this one...

loving ending sentiment on a very thought provoking write...

love Brenda 🌹

Thank you so much, Brenda.  I am so happy that it made you think of certain things and that you liked reading this little poem of mine. :-)
What a lovely comment… Who knows, it might just be that way?

Simply beautiful, the build-up to the last line is awesome, the last  line is perfect :-)))))))))))))))

Thank you very much, David. For you to give such a compliment really means a lot to me! :-)  So glad you enjoyed this read.

Lovely piece combining nostalgia and love.

Thank you so much for your lovely comment.

I am totally on board with the concepts of souls remembering snippets of past lives in the present, and the idea that soul mates can and often do come together in more than one timeline/lifetime. Makes total sense to me. Stunningly gorgeous.

I knew you would agree. Thank you for this lovely comment, dear Silence. It means the world to me.
