*Accepting contacts for meaningful friendships.*
As described in the poem below...
.
"Love"
by Roy Croft
I love you
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am
When I am with you.
I love you,
Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But for what
You are making of me.
I love you
For the part of me
That you bring out;
I love you
For putting your hand
Into my heaped-up heart
And passing over
All the foolish, weak things
That you can't help
Dimly seeing there,
And for drawing out
Into the light
All the beautiful belongings
That no one else had looked
Quite far enough to find.
I love you
Because you
Are helping me to make
Of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern
But a temple:
Out of the works
Of my every day
Not a reproach
But a song.
I love you
Because you have done
More than any creed
Could have done
Too make me good
And more than any fate
Could have done
To make me happy.
You have done it
Without a touch,
Without a sign
You have done it
By being yourself,
Prehaps that is what
Being a friend means
After all.
"Love"

Forget not that the earth delights
To feel your bare feet
And
The winds longs to play with your hair.
Like the spirit winds...
Some things arrive in their own mysterious hour,
On their own terms and not ours,
To be seized...forever,
Or relinquished...forever.
I cannot predict the future
I cannot change the past
I have just the present moment
I must treat it as my last.
Girls vs. Grown Women
Girls leave their schedule wide-open and wait for a
guy to call and make plans.
Grown women make their own plans and nicely tell the
guy to get in where he fits in.
Girls want to control the man in their life.
Grown women know that if he's truly hers, he doesn't
need controlling.
Girls check you for not calling them.
Grown women are too busy to realize you hadn't.
Girls try to put a man 'on lock' by using sex.
Grown women know that it's the sex of the mental kind
that makes a man want to 'lock' you down.
Girls fake-moan, lay there and take the stabbing.
Grown women say, "Just stop", get up, get dressed and
walk it out.
Girls are afraid to be alone.
Grown women revel in it--using it as a time for
personal growth.
Girls ignore the good guys.
Grown women ignore the bad guys.
Girls make you come.
Grown women make you come home.
Girls worry about not being pretty and/or good enough
for their man.
Grown women know that they are pretty and/or good
enough for any man.
Girls try to monopolize all their man's time (i.e.
don't want him hanging with his friends).
Grown women realize that a lil' bit of space makes the
'together time' even more special and goes to kick it
with her own friends!
Girls think a guy crying is weak.
Grown women offer their shoulder and a tissue.
Girls want to be spoiled and 'tell' their man so.
Grown women show him and make him comfortable enough
to reciprocate with out fear of losing his manhood.
Girls get hurt by one man and make all men pay for it.
Grown women know that that was just one man.
Girls fall in love, chase aimlessly after the object
of their affection, ignoring all signs.
Grown women know that sometimes the one you love,
don't always love you back and move on without
bitterness.
Girls will read this and get an attitude.
Grown women will read this and pass it on to other
grown women!!
I am a Grown Woman!
