I can't believe I'm here again...but I guess being picky is better than being with the wrong person. My parents both died last year...at the age of 99...about 9 months apart...after being married for 78 years. I watched these two wonderful people love each other for my entire life and I always hoped that I would find the same. Well...now I want to travel but I don't want to do it alone. After my time in the Army during which I served as a Green Beret...I hitchhiked more than 45 thousand miles through 42 states. I kept a jou
al in poetry of my experiences during the trip. When I returned I published the first of 5 books of poetry. I have performed my poetry all over the country for the past 40 years. The poet in me chooses to believe anything is possible so I am looking for my last first date. Here is a sample of one of my poems hopefully giving you an idea just how I feel about love.
JUST A DREAM
I love you...it's so strange to feel this way...
for so long I was convinced that you weren't real...
you were just a dream I never dreamed would stay...
and I dreamed of feelings I never thought I'd feel.
I always thought that love was a beautiful thing...
that I'd think about but never really find...
and I'd settle for less than what real love would bring...
love seemed to be a fantasy of mine.
So I can't believe it's happening though I wanted it so much...
I just never thought it ever would come true.
I'm afraid you're going to wake so be gentle when you touch...
if it's a dream I want to sleep my whole life through.
Like a goal set so far that you know you'll never get there...
I was happy just to hope that you could be...
even half the special person I'm finding out you are...
and twice the love I ever wished for me.

I'd like to find someone who is as honest as she is pretty...especially on the inside. I voted for Donald Trump so if that is an issue for you
