Woow you guys! Jamaal-11 and Idil
good collections...I dont dig poems that much although once in while i find one or two that captures my heart. Enjoy this one it is a fav of mine.
I love you not only for what u are
But for what I am when i'm with you
I love you not only for what you have
made of yourself but you are making of me
I love you for puttin you hand into my
heaped up heart and passing over all
the foolish weak things you cant help
dimly seeing there, and drawing out in
the light all the beautiful belongings that
no one else had looked quite far enaugh to find.
I love you because you are helping me to
make of the lumber of my life not a
tavern but a temple, out of the work of
my every day life not a reproach but a song
I love you because you have done more
than any creed could have done to
make me good and more happy than
any fate could have done to make
me happy
You have done it without a touch, without
a word, without a sigh;
You have done it by being yourself.
Perhaps that is what being a freind means,
after all.
