I like to cook, bowl, talk/cuddle, movies, horses, outdoors, camping, fishing, go to beach and make a campfire, motorcycles, rivers, mountains, dinner inside or out, parks and other activities like darts, horse shoes, washers, billards and of course shuffle board. I dance but not near as much or go to bars. For what it's worth, I am open to most anything. Communication is a must along with trust. Looking to love with my heart and soul and be loved. Thanks for taking your time to read about me and much luck to us all.
Leslie...

I started writing poems and paste them in the "first date" box, so I will leave this here, I think something simple. Out for a coffee, tea or something! Leslie...

After all the hours I sat here and talked with you my friend,
I often wonder if it would mattered at all for the time I did spend.
Really not ever knowing what the outcome was going to be,
We were sitting here chatting about the world and of you and me.

We had touched on and talked about so many different things,
The good times bad times and what love was going to bring.
I believe it was love we seem to have talked about the most,
I keep saying it comes from the Father Son and The Holy Ghost.

We often ask the questions about life and wonder why,
We never seem to know the answers and for that we want to cry.
Can it be that it isn’t love that hurts us ever at all,
The fact is we hurt ourselves the most and then we begin to fall.

As I sit here and watch what all that is taking place,
I now see why things are happening and then I want my space.
I was and did the very same things that you do,
At times looking gazing and lusting making me feel blue.

For I am in a world made up of people that I cannot see,
It is their pictures and profiles that they want me to believe.
As I have no idea who this is or who they really are,
Many times I ask myself if we are going a little too far.

For wanting to meet someone and to be apart of you,
It is the hoping and dreaming we all seem to do.
Do you think that what you are missing is the missing link,
Or is what you are doing is what will make you sink.

Now it seems I have stumbled upon a railroad track,
Caught up on a trestle and to scared to move and or even look back.
As the train was moving way to fast for me to comprehend,
My feelings and thoughts were so mixed up I felt I could not win.

For their profile was so well written they seemed to be a dream,
We talked many times then met and it wasn’t as they had seemed.
Their picture was sure to be of many years ago,
They are older and fatter and they didn’t think I would know.

Many seem to think that people are very stupid and dumb,
Dealing with this over and over will and can make you numb.
After all the many times you put your trust and love on the line,
There is never an end to how many that will try to rob you blind.

Whether if it is for love or money I really cannot say,
I know that when you lose either you will pay and pay.
Some are very poised and rude right from the start,
Thinking you are lonely and needy and not too smart.

Now getting back to what I was really wanting to say,
Is that I feel so much better when I get on my knees and pray.
I know that I am human and that I do make my mistakes,
Asking for Gods love and forgiveness is really what it takes.

To search and follow God with all your heart and soul,
This is something that must be done as it is so told.
For when you seek his love and want to do his will,
It can and will be so much better than taking any pill.

For the laws that he has set forth for us to comprehend and obey,
Were not given to us to be mean as so many would want to say.
Not to do this and or not to do that is not what it’s all about,
For telling a child not to do this or that would surely make him pout.

Now if I go and I do not steal I will not have fault or guilt,
This is a step on which a foundation is made and should so be built.
It isn’t the not doing but the doing that makes me most happy as one,
This is true as I know it comes from the father and of the son.

Now that I am in his light most often and every day,
It is the things I keep close to heart that keep me focused and not stray.
You must be strong and tell whoever you must,
That you look up to the Lord and now he is who you trust.

Now that you have open your heart to follow his path,
There is nothing so simple as long as you do the math.
He didn’t make it tough as it really seems to be,
It is Satan very hard working that doesn’t want you Free.

Break the chains of the living hell we all have so been in,
We seem to be stuck in a rut and that we cannot win.
You are looking and trying to figure all this out,
I say you are doing great and cast out the shadows of doubt.

I know at times love can seem like a crazy real and so strong,
That it doesn’t matter what you do nothing seems to go wrong.
There’s nothing more exciting than a love such as this,
For every morning and every night begin and end with a kiss.

To all my friends I never would have had just years before,
This is of Gods work and his love as he has opened a door.
To owe Him my life to is just a fraction of the cost,
As I know today being without Him I surely be lost.

So I have learned today that there are things I must do,
One is to love my Lord in all thy ways and the other is you.
For without this love that I feel so strong,
That a day without it is a day to long…..
