Not [just] Once, Tamara

I love you now
for all you are
and J is not

Someday might love you -- wow! --
for all you are
and I am not

Friends when times are tough --
real friends may be enough --
warm solace when it's rough

We only go 'round once?
but once is not enough!
Within your dreams ensconce
treasures of comfort -- buff
and polish them to glow --
someday you'll need them so!
(when all else seems but woe--)

Anchor your hope in truth
laugh, live -- yes, explore --
until the dream bears fruit:::
when your love warms, forever!

      the story of a kind of rescue, a woman who was being abused by
      a guy in my apartment complex back then, a very pretty and
      sexy woman who had said yes to the wrong man ... I told her to
      be the bulldozer and power out of the situation. . she couldn't
      go home to mama nor afford her own place. . I bought her
      a car and she began to repay me slowly. . I still have
      blank checks signed by her from that era. . and we thought
      that we might have had more than just friendship.............
      so I wrote this little thing and printed, signed and framed it .......
      then Good Luck arrived and she found Mr. Right in a local
      businessman / engineer whom she later married.
      she gave it back to me, as she moved in with him.
      these little sagas make up a 15 year gap between marriages,
      for me. . some built more confidence than others, like this one!!! -- j
