I love the poem.. made me kinda teary-eyed.\nThen when I read that you had not met the woman that you wrote it about till recently.. it made me sadder yet.\n\nShe will be sad reading it, knowing she just met you.\n\nMaybe she will be happy knowing you love her enough now to write it.\nWell written poem... very kid of you to write it for your mom.\n\nI am wondering if you remember staring at her... if you just met her.\n\nNice poem though.

I found this poem and author on a site called "Poem Hunter", an amateur poetry writing community.  So, to answer your question, no, this poem is not famous, except perhaps in the mind of the poet.

I've always liked this poem...\n\nOne night I had a dream--\nI dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord \nand across the sky flashed scenes from my life. \nFor each scene I noticed two sets of footprints, \none belonged to me and the other to the Lord. \nWhen the last scene of my life flashed before me,\nI looked back at the footprints in the sand.\nI noticed that many times along the path of my life,\nthere was only one set of footprints.\nI also noticed that it happened at the very lowest\nand saddest times in my life. \nThis really bothered me and I questioned the Lord about it. \n"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,\nyou would walk with me all the way,\nbut I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life\nthere is only one set of footprints. \n"I don't understand why in times when I needed you most,\nyou should leave me." \nThe Lord replied, "My precious, precious child,\nI love you and I would never, never leave you\nduring your times of trial and suffering. \n"When you saw only one set of footprints,\nit was then that I carried you."\n\nMary Stevens

Sorry, I truly thought I could find it. They do not show up in many many websites and lyrics sites (including www3.coolrip.com!). I'm really sorry, it would seem there is some copyright issue with the lyrics and so they are not available anywhere.

READ THIS CAREFULLY::::\n10th grade\n \n**********\n \nAs I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me. She was my so called 'best friend'. I stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was mine. But she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. After class, she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before. handed them to her. She said 'thanks' and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I dont want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I dont know why. \n \n**************\n11th grade\n \n**************\n \nThe phone rang. On the other end, it was her. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to her\n on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me, said 'thanks' and gave me a kiss on the\ncheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, \nand I dont know why. \n***************\nSenior year\n \n**************\n \nThe day before prom she walked to my locker. "My date is sick" she said, "hes not gonna go" well, I didn't have a date, and in 7th grade, we made a promise that if neither of us had dates, we would go together just as 'best friends'. So we did. Prom night, after everything was over, I was standing at her front door step. I stared at\n her as she smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes. I want her to be mine, but she doesn't think of me like that, and I know it. Then she said- "I had the best time, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I dont want to be just friends, I love her  but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. A day passed, then a week, then a month. Before I Could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body  floated like an angle up on  stage to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine-but she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. Before everyone went  home, she came to me  in her smock and hat, and cried as I hugged her. Then she lifted her  head from my shoulder and said- 'you're my best friend, thanks' and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want  her to know that I  dont want to be just friends, I love her but I'm  just too shy, and I  don't know why.  Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl is getting married That girl is getting married now. I watched her say 'I  do' and drive off to  her new life, married to another man. I wanted her  to be mine, but she  didn't see me like that, and I knew it. But before she drove away, she came to me and said 'you came!'. She said 'thanks' and kissed me on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I dont want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. Years passed, I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my 'best friend'.\n \n At the service, they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years. This is what it read: "I stare at him wishing he was mine; but he doesn't notice me like that, and I know it. I  want to tell him, I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. I wish he would tell me he loved  me! 'I wish I did too...' I thought to my self, and\n I cried.\n \nDo yourself a favour, tell her/him you love them. they won't be there forever.\n \n \nTake Care\n\n\n\nSO JUST TELL HER AT LEAST TAKE A CHANCE

"Salty tears run down my face" is a very nice opening. The setting of the street and your melancholy is plain.  The angst of unreturned love is felt.  I thought it was going in the direction of "just one more chance, please baby!" and instead it turned to Passionate Vengeance!!  Very good poem.  I like it.  Good spelling, punctuation, literate.  I also like the line "I relish this feeling filling my chest."  Powerful statement.  :-)
