Once

Once is once upon a time,
Once is quite enough,
Once is better than nothing,
Once you fell in love.

Once, was once, once was,
Once was, once is no more,
Once is all you had, when,
Once love walked out your door.

Once, was all it took,
Once heartbreak was true,
Once, you had a full life,
Once you, were you.

Once, when you were in love,
Once when everything was right,
Once there were reasons for living,
Once there was a will to fight.

Once, will be once more,
Once it begins to go right,
Once the road ahead, becomes,
Once more full of light.

Welcome among us, new friend!

I am +Steven, Poet in Residence here at Mind-Brain.com, and I am delighted to see all these wonderful poems of yours, and that you have come to join us.

Thank you for coming to be among us, and please know that you are most welcome and among friends here.

I very much look forward to reading all your posted poems! I apologize that I haven't been around as much as I would have liked of late, but I have been hard at work on a big surprise for my wife, Silke, and on my own writing.

But I just wanted to pop in and tell you that I am really glad to have you with us, and that your poetry looks wonderful. We are greatly enriched by your presence, and please know that we appreciate you, and your poetry, very much. You make us what we are. You make us better.

Therefore, on behalf of all, I welcome you, our new friend and fellow poet!

In solidarity,

+Steven
