Hearts

This is the day before the lonely day for me. I have no lover and no lover for so long.
I have tried to forget what love feels like and then I meet someone. I fall in love too
easy. I am in love now, but I never hear a word from her. She is another's lover and
I am out---in the cold.

I will begin this night's vigil with the first tick of the clock. I am so old fashion and I don't
mind the midnight watch. I am lonely that way and those post are made for lonely people.
I don't know if I will be alone for the rest of my life. I expect I will and I expect the ones I
love will always belong to someone else.

It is not fair for me to do this. To write this and pity myself the way I do. I am being unfair
to myself and other potential lovers that are out there, lonely too and waiting for a love to
find their lonely hearts. I hope I do find a good one some day, a good heart, a soul and spirit to match my own. I am still trying. When I get over the one I am hurting for right now. If this old
heart is not to wounded to take on another challenge. I will be blessed if I find a love and she will be blessed too.

My Prayer to Find my Heart a Home:

Dear Lord, give me a place to be. A good heart, a good home and a peaceful place to live out my life with the love of a good and careing soul. Lord, I ask your help in finding a woman, a partner
who cares enough to nurture in me and I in her the needs we have and were born to fullfill in one another. Lord, you have the plan and if it is your plan that I find one, before I die, to share my life, make it soon. My heart is wounded and tired, please hurry before I give up, give out and die.

Amen.
