To the women that I speak with here
I just wanted to say
that the thoughts and feelings we share
are as real as each new day

I realized today
that I only speak with women
and for this there is a personal reason
not somthing like fraud or treason

I have a missing place in my heart
for two little girls
one is my grandaughter
and the other was my world

I have a wife as most you know
but she and I don't see eye to eye
it hurts me deeply inside
to feel living like a lie

But she is sick though able
I've meantioned this to some
something incurable
and so I didn't just up and run

But staying here and acting like a couple
has broken my weary heart
and what was left of it
my daughter tore apart

And now I've been through anger
and through pain and sadness
and lonliness is the thief
that has stolen what's left of gladness

And so I came here not knowing
what I was truly going to seek
no clue at all, not a poet or a writer
I just decided to take a peek

And I met a girl named Bluerose
and I met a girl named Kelly
and a girl named Sarah
and my heart turned to Jelly

I never planned to meet you
But I met you just the same
and its only for lack of space
That I don't mention you by name

You see I'm just a gentleman
a real guy and a big softy
not the high and might type
not conceited or very lofty

Each woman I have met
Each one to whom I have shared
I have opened my heart to you
and I have chanced to care

I never say "I Love You"
or try to break a heart
and the truth is exactly this
I hope we never part

Because I've learned so much from you
You sweet girl who took me in
that I am a true man inside
and that I might oneday be loved again

And though I never do say
I have feelings for you each
I've learned so much from you
this heart nobody could reach

I love you
like a juicy ripe peach
one and every
each

Thank you for your friendship
thank you for your care and kindness
I've seen love now in its greatest form
God forgive me for my blindness

Love is the way we treat a friend
Love is the way we lend a hand
Love is the way we help each other
and help each to understand

You fill my need for sweetness,
you mend my heart with prayer
when you're away I miss you
and know for sure I really care

You've made me laugh and cry
you've made me feel inside
you taken a broken heart
and have opened it wide

Now I'm afriad
I'll never be the same
somewhere there are friends
who know me by name

God bless you always
and if we should ever part
I'll remember how you cared
from the very start

All I ask is this
Don't leave me without goodbye
because enough tears
already I did cry

Each of you are special
In your own unique way
Like reflective rays of sunlight
on a cloudy day

Each of you I love most dearly
and wish that love grows
Like the many petals 
of a dew kissed Rose 

Take this bit of love we share
wherever you may go
so that though your hearts
kindness and happiness we'll try to sew

And if we ever part
my heart will feel sadness
But I promise always to remember you
for your care and kindness

And if we should meet again
in some better higher place
I'll seek to walk with you
at a slow and peacful pace

So that I may feel once your hand in mine
or the softness of your face
or lean into you
all my troubles you erase.
