Two poems written by Catherine Anderson

                                   Tender Heart

What is bequeathed a tender heart?

To feel unbridled joy and sing with anticipation of tomorrow.

Creature comforts enjoyed to the fullest,with no taint of more. 

To revel in the moment and eek out every happiness possible.

The good things that will occur far outweigh the bad that might happen.

             Each breath a celebration 

             Each tear is pure.

             The perfection of being

             To embrace each emotion

             whole and fierce.

To live in eternal amazement and face everything as if it were new.

A cuddle up to the sameness as an old friend.

                     Peace in solitude

                     Pleasure in company.

                                          A grand existence.

                                         

                                               

                                                 Tell Me

Tell me;

                of your new love

                of its allure

                of its sweetness

                of the joy and blind exhileration

                of the joy of exploration

                of the floating feeling

that furnishes that smile

Tell me of your happiness so that I may look upon my dear old love with new eyes.
