Have I told you lately?
(I found a sixty year poetry binder. Filled with poetry by a unknown writer in my Father’s office. I want to post some of the wonderful words by the secret poet from sixty years ago.)
Have I told you lately?
Have I told you lately that I love you.
Could I tell you once again somehow.
Have I told you with all my heart and soul how I adore you.
Well darling, I am telling you now.
This world would end today if I should lose you,
I am no good without you anyhow.
This heart would break into pieces,
if you refused me.
So darling, I am telling you now.
When I dream,
every dream I dream is about you.
Have I told you I want to share my love forever with you.
Well darling, I am telling you now.
Writer unknown

Around 500 poems. They are well written. I am still trying to find the writer. Written around 1958. I believe a woman wrote. A feel of a woman voice.

I figure out why they were written. My father was a singer of the old country songs. I believe his first wife wrote down the country songs of the 1940-1958. He used them to memorize. I research some of the titles and each poem was sang by a legend of the past. Someone had great patience to use a type writer to show the words. I love the song “I overlooked the orchid.”
