They say a journey always starts with a first step
Often when I take that step I trip over my feet
So I fall flat on my face
Instead of feeling sorry for myself what do I do
I pick myself up again and wait for that next journey
Hopefully this time I don’t trip
Wish me luck and pray that I don’t fall and get a fat lip.

A pull
A tug
Moving your body next to mine
A touch
A caress
Feeling you next to mine
Closer and closer we two become one
To arise in the morning with you at my side
Entwined we embrace our love to one another
A kiss
A twinkle
You were made for me as I was for you
A look between two souls combined together
As two become one

Looking into your eyes
Finding myself mesmerized
Feeling a warmth between us grow
Scanning your face I memorize
Each little bit that I look upon
I see the one I love
Then as you look back at me
I see your lips begin to curl
A smile comes upon your face
Bringing me to heights I race to climb
My heart races, my pulse rises
A smile that shows me your soul
A joy inside that was missing for to long
I smile inside and outside from head to toe.

I know a lot of the songs I have know and sung to for a long time, well I have often gotten the lyrics totally wrong. Which songs have you found out that you have been singing the lyrics to. Enjoy……
It all started with a New Hope
But then the Empire Strikes Back
Which led to the Return of the Jedi
Before this all happened there was A Phantom Menace
Causing the Attack of the Clones
Giving way to the Return of the Sith
Leaving us now with the Force Awakens
And The Last Jedi
And somewhere in there is a Rogue One

When do you realize it is time to settle
Taking your foot off the peddle
Deciding that it’s time to step back
When you are young you look forward to what comes next
Always pushing yourself to reach a higher level
Moving on from one opportunity to another
When is it time to realize those opportunities are dwindling
Time waits for no man they say
So when will I know that day
Taking that one last attempt
To continue a career that you love
So much says it is time to quit
Enjoy what you have done and stop doing it
Move onto the next stage of your life
Your body is full of aches and pains
Mind not as sharp, but still there most of the time
I am a soldier that is what I have known for over twenty-one years
Not done in my heart or in my head
A few good years left inside this old soul
Proving again to myself of my worth
What happens to old soldiers when it is time to go
As it was once said
Old soldiers never die, they just fade away

Dreaming of a future with you
A time when our days are made for us two
Travelling from place to place
Discovering the beauty of God’s great creation
From the Beaches of the coasts
To the Mountains along the divide
And all the areas in-between
Together we will travel from one destination to the next
Visiting our children and their families
Growing older into our twilight we will be
Experiencing all the sights of created by God’s mighty hand
A future meant just for us two

Today is a new day
Trying to do things a new way
Denying those things I use to enjoy
Things that I would have every day
Causing my waist to expand
Exercise every day to keep it thin was my plan
As I grew older it became a losing cause
Aches and pains compounded my lack of loss
So now I will try a different tact
Wish me luck on my new plan of attack
Today I started a new plan for my life, it is a change in eating habits. It is called the Whole30. Doing this challenge with my wife. You may know her as ~M at https://puttingmyfeetinthedirt.com/ . So wish us luck. It will be a interesting month, but I’m hoping that it goes good and will be something I will take forward with my life.
The screen flickers on
Sounds of a machine coming to life
Putting in my password
Waiting for everything to load
Updates, scans, this that and another
Finally I can open up the program that brings you into view
Seeing you sitting there, with a smile that melts my heart
An excitement inside me whenever my eyes fall upon you
Sitting so pretty and a smile that takes my breath away
Wishing you were back home now
Sitting here instead of there
I begin to say Hi
But no sound comes out on your side
Alas, not all is perfect here in Skype world
So just being able to see you is all I will get
Sexy, smoking hot and looking so lovely to boot.
Hurry home, it’s been to long
My love, my life, my one and only….

An empty bed awaits me tonight
Wishing you were here by my side
Tossing and turning unable to sleep
Missing the sensation of you near
Your scent lingers in the air
Wanting to reach out and feel your embrace
Missing that touch of lace
Seeing your face in my dreams
Anticipating the day you return
Where into your arms I will lay
In our bed where we will play
So hurry back to where you belong
My heart waits to play you its song
