Laura Anne Poems

Loving a sailor is a high price to pay
Loving him is truly hard when he’s away
It’s being alone with nothing to hold
It’s being young, but feeling old
...

I miss the way you look at me
with love in your soft eyes.
I love the way you touch me
and hold me when I cry.
...

You were always there for me, even when you knew I was doing wrong
I just want to say I’m sorry and thank you.

I’m sorry for all those late nights when you stayed up late worrying about me.
...

I'm sitting here staring at the stars, thinking of you!
I feel so alone when you're not around
I close my eyes and you're here with me
I can see your face, smell your cologne, taste your sweet kiss
...

You are my son, a piece of me, and that will never alter,
No matter what you do in life my love will never falter.
As I held you my little one and I looked into your eyes,
I knew, life from now on would be full of surprises.
...

If I could look into the future and see what it holds for both you and me
I know it wouldn't be a fantasy world of no worries or problems,
we know that would be a lie
Because life without obstacles, would make everything simple and plain
...

When I look back
I see anger and broken hearts
Then I fell in love
And that's when my life starts
...

I still have dreams of us;
I hope they're not in vein.
My journey down memory lane
makes this pain hard to contain.
...

My Grandma, you are my inspiration, my key to success.
What you say and do comes straight from your heart.
My Grandma’s words of wisdom and wit
Put your faith in the Lord, come what may
...

My love for you is like a rose
it desires the summer rain
and petals large enough to conceal
each thorn that causes pain
...

I hate you when you lie.
I hate you because you make me cry
I hate you even more because sometimes it seems like you don't even try
...

You draw lines that cannot be crossed
We are outsiders; dare not let us in…
What are you afraid of, what’s the secret that can’t be known?
Are you afraid that your perfect image will be shattered?
...

I thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday
And days before that too
...

Every day I grow more anxious
Of giving my heart away
Scared of what love brings
Too nervous to hear the words you’ll say
...

A dad is a person who is loving and kind
And often he knows what you have on your mind
He's someone who listens, advises and supports
A dad can be one of your best friends
...

No, not now…
Not yet, please.
Shaking my head….
Refusing, I don't want to wake up
...

O, winds of conflict
blow my father not into anxious harbors

O, tides of sadness
...

The perfect man loves me for me and not just one tiny part.
The perfect man isn't afraid to tell me the truth.
The perfect man is kind, sweet, funny, and loving.
The perfect man can make me crumble with one glance.
...

I'm sitting here staring at the stars, thinking of you!
I feel so alone when you're not around
I close my eyes and you're here with me
I can see your face, smell your cologne, taste your sweet kiss
...

It is Love that gives me motivation
to learn and change and grow.
It is Love that guides me on this path
and helps me choose each turn and bend.
...

The Best Poem Of Laura Anne

Loving A Sailor

Loving a sailor is a high price to pay
Loving him is truly hard when he’s away
It’s being alone with nothing to hold
It’s being young, but feeling old
It’s having him whisper his love for you
It’s whispering back that you love him too
There comes a kiss and a promise for more
As his ship slowly glides away from shore
Reluctantly, painfully, letting him go
While your insides are dying from wanting him so
Watching him leave with eyes full of tears
Standing alone with your hopes, dreams and fears
It’s sending a letter with the stamp upside down
To a far away love, in a far away town
It’s going to church to kneel and pray
And really meaning the things that you say
Being in love will foster your dreams
Days go by
No mail for a spell, you wait for some word
To hear that’s he’s well
Then a letter arrives and you’re given in
To open his letter and read it with a grin
Yes, he is well and misses you so
And fill with love you wanted to know
Weeks are like months
And months are like years
You wait for the day when you’ll have no more fears
Days go by slowly how many have passed
Yes, loving a sailor brings bitterness and fears
Loneliness, sadness despondent years
Loving a sailor isn’t much fun
But it’s worth the price when the battle is won
And remember he is thinking of you everyday
He’s sad and he’s lonely while so far away
Be strong and have faith, wipe that tear from your eye
Your man’s a seafarer like that old ancient trader
It’s a high price to pay for loving a sailor.

I am surprised to find this poem on the internet. I thought my father wrote 'Loving a Sailor' during WWII as he was on a ship in the Pacific. I would truly like to know where this poem originated. Please help with this

As the wife of a merchant marine for 33 years this is how I felt when we first were married... but for what this profession has provided the world for generations with honor and respect I understood the why and I further understood the difference between want and need... merchant mariners love strong, independent women they do not have worry about! God Bless you!
