Will I have to be content
To love you from afar?
With knowing that at night, we see
The same sky, moon, and stars?
When my heart does overflow
With loving thoughts toward you,
Will praying for you be enough
If that's all I can do?
How long will I be content
To simply hear your voice
And not reach out to touch you, if
I never have that choice?
All I have, is knowing God
Is watching over you
And loving you a million times
Much more than I could do
Alison, this poem is true, as opposed to being a fictitious one resulting from my fertile imagination. It speaks of faithfulness, even when the miles keep you physically apart, and all you have is the telephone and perhaps SKYPE.
Reminds me of the film 'Sleepless In Seattle.' Love from afar that is! This is a touching poem.
David, I LOVED the film Sleepless in Seattle (no great surprise there, right? ;) Lost count of how many times I've watched it. All of Nora Ephron's Chick Flicks were great. I suppose that for those of us who breathe, eat, and sleep Love, romantic comedies are a staple. I truly appreciate your positive comments! P.S: This poem wasn't inspired by Sleepless, but was actually based on a loved one far away, many years ago...
All I have, is knowing God Is watching over you And loving you a million times Much more than I could do.. nice presentation. Beautiful love poem with nice penmanship. Thanks....10

This lyric touches the mind and the emotions. Asking questions makes it like a dialogue. Love from afar does exist in the electronic age. So positive.
Thank you, Michael. This was actually written about someone I cared for back in 2003, who was in New Mexico, USA! . He passed away in 2011. We e-mailed, IM'd, and spoke long-distance for a couple of years.
