Analysis of Soul mate



the night was icy but i truly did not mind
in the glow of your love, healing warmth i did find
as the night colors swayed and danced in the night sky
you pull me close to your body, with contentment i sigh

at last our love blessed in the eyes of god, souls united
our days, our nights bound together joyful bliss invited
ten years together, side by side finding true friend
teaching, learning, each others painful past eager to mend

and now that we face all that life will bring our way
hearts joined, hand in hand we embrace each new day
and as our hair turns gray and age does make us weak
to walk side by side together in wisdom is all we seek

when for one of us the hands of time slow to a crawl
until we meet again each day the other must give all
so when together once more, in the house of god, no regret
knowing that each comitment together eagerly we meet

to our loved ones family and friends, this we hope to teach
walking thru life please know there are lessons and goals to reach
when another soul you meet remember some things are meant to be
embrace the gift god has sent, open your eyes to all your meant to see

Tamara Hart

hello I am a 50yr old mother of five and grandmother of seven. i just recently married my best friend of ten years, i dont know what took us so long, all i know is that we were meant to be he is truly my soul mate. about 20yrs ago i wrote all the time i managed to put together a book of poems called growing pains but as i am poor at spelling and punctuation and there was no such thing as lap tops and no spell check i trusted a close friend to edit it, i failed to keep my own copys why i dont know well i never saw her or the book again. most of the poems were painful dark heart felt poems because my life was in a really bad place and i felt like a fool for trusting her. well i refused to write after that for a long time then life started getting better as i grew and searched intill i found my self i started thinking about writing again but as i had only written from a place of intense pain i had no idea where to start so i wasted 20yrs of living what i now realize could have been great verse. than on the night of my wedding i wrote two souls joining and my new husband got his first look at my verse and was impressed {of course he is biased] i often tell him that if the world could see me thru his eyes life would be a trip. well anyways he started encouraging me to to atleast write ten min a day. well that was sept 13th and i feel as tho i have found my voice again and this time i found my self able to write both happy and sad. i look forward to sharing my work with all of you and injoying all your wonderful writes as well. and who knows maybe someday i will come across a book of poetry called growing pains and all that will matter is that its being read. i wish you all many great writes and i thank you all from the bottem of my heart for the time you spend reading my work thank you for the input. be blessed more…
