In Your Eyes

woman-1771895_960_720

Glancing into your eyes

I see the beauty of that girl I fell for so long ago

A look that I almost lost

Mistakes and miscues I had made

Left me with a unthinkable cost

I know that all is not perfect

But I will love you with no regrets

Looking at your eyes I know the way back

Your heart I shall ever protect

Never taking for granted that which you have given

By your side I shall ever stand

Until the end and I am holding God’s mighty hand

You are my heavenly gift

Within your eyes my heart shall never be adrift

You are my love, my life, my one and only

Winter Wonderland

winter-677721_960_720

When I was a kid winter was a magical time of the year

Sledding, building forts, snow angels and so much more

A time to look forward to Christmas time and vacation

Looking forward to watching the snow fall

Heading outside to play till I was frozen to the bone

As I grew, the magic was replaced by just having fun

Snowball fights, skeetching behind the bus, and so much more

Getting our driver’s license and learning what fun it could be

Doing donuts in the snow, slide turns with the emergency brake

Going on ski trips, sledding until all hours in the dark

Adulthood hit and things began to change

The winter time was more of a pain

Driving to work, digging out the drive way and so much more

Yes there was times of fun

Playing with the kids, building snowmen and a few other things

What do I look forward to in winter now a days

I look forward to the first day of spring and the warmth it brings.
