Linda L. Franklin Poems

The waves gently lapping at my feet
As my worries leave my soul
No cars, no buses, no trains
The wind blows through the leaves
...

When you’re upset
When you’re down on your luck
Know that I Care.
When you feel the world
...

Most everyone seeks it
From time to time
is it something you touch
or hold in your hand?
...

Months ago I became attracted to you
I thought you had integrity,
Poise, Charm and a kind heart
You seemed the perfect match for me.
...

Whether we want it to or not
It seems that things are forever changing.
Changes can be big or they can be very small.
Our thoughts change with the direction of the wind
...

When we were young,
We believed in fairytales and happy endings.
Through the years we held on to believing
That love was always going to last.
...

How do you learn to trust?
When the one you loved betrayed you?
When all the trust has been destroyed?
When the one you loved
...

Every day I’m with other people
Yet I’m alone
Maybe I’m in a crowded theater
A baseball stadium or a concert hall
...

So many times we think that Love can only survive
In the boundaries that we have set for it;
But
Love doesn’t care
...

</>A friend is there
Even when you can't see them
A friend is there
Even when you can't touch them
...
