The Love We Share

 oms
I will never forget your happy face
Your big smile and sparkling eyes
Your contagious breath-taking spirit

I will never forget your fears and tears
Your joys, pains and sorrows
Your unspoken I-love-you

I will never forget the bond and love we share
The miles we run and the times we touch
The laughs we cannot stop

I will never forget all that we do
Even if you go
Because you are special

I will hold you in my heart
As I remember our love
And love you forever

First Post - i love writing

"i" - here i am
my first blog post here
i want to write about things
about life
about writing

i want to learn more about writing
i want to understand writing
i want to understand why i write
because i always feel compelled to write

i want to learn about others who write, too
i want to know how they write
i want to know why they write
i want to know what they write
i want to know how their words impact others or me

"we" questions - they float in my head

do we write for attention?
do we always write for meaning?
do we write to express emotions?
sadness, grief, pain, joy...?
do we write because we express ourselves better in writing?

do write to show off?
do we write to intimidate others?
do we write because we're born writers?
do we write because we think we can write?
do we write because others say we can write?

do we write to teach?
do we write to learn?
do we write to heal?
do we write to inspire?
do we write for the joy of writing?

i think i know why i write
i've always loved writing
for the way words work magic
for the way i feel after a good out-pouring
for the way words transform and inform
for the way words teach
for the way words make me laugh or cry
for the way words heal

i love writing
