Of Life and Love R Lee Hendon

If you say I closed my door


And if I've ceased to feel


I'll open up and let you in


I'll find out if you are real.



But only if you need and want


Me there,


in timeless hours.


I'll take your hand


I'll share your smile


I'll be your desert flower.


Life and love can often be a struggle for us. Author R. Lee Hendon expresses his struggles in Of Life and Love, poems that are self-revealing and self-indulging.


Perhaps we can identify with his somewhat fragmented and broken life experiences. Perhaps we can gain a greater understanding of our common life experiences, leading to some ahas!, to give joy, love, and direction to life's challenging adventure. Come what may, the journey is not over until it is over.
