A portal into your soul
Entwined as one with you
Makes me whole
Love is the glue
A life alone
Once my station
Possibilities shown
Absent was my narration
Your passion did show
Path to a dream
Arms that never let go
A smile lit by a moonbeam
Without you I am lost
A future made clear
Two lives crossed
Which has led me here

Night time falls on me like an unwelcome guest
Sneaking darkness into my soul
Leaving my thoughts of you distressed
Slowly my mind slips into that blackhole
Thoughts of you permeate my mind
A longing to feel your body next to mine
The beauty of you I always find
Wanting to wrap around you and entwine
But all I find is that empty hole
Apart from you has left me distressed
Each of us must face the night alone
Our love at this time is suppressed
Until the day that I return
My soul is left in mourning
It’s your touch that I yearn
Upon the waking morning
My life flies by
Life begun as an error
Lived without love
Seen as worthless, a mistake
No thoughts for the future
False hope with no dreams
Unable to draw close
Always a flight
Unsuspected connection was found
A dream come true I thought
My heart did matter to one
Mistakes of ignorance
Confusion with thoughts of delusion was made
Unable to properly give, unknown how to take
My dream almost slipped away
Unknown walls broken apart
Giving fully to one’s beautiful heart
Changes made within hope and faith
Life rebuilt, given a new start
A path opened for two
My dream was found complete in you!

Out in the clear skied night
Two tied souls look to the stars
Hearts entwined so tight
Thinking of each other from a far
A time soon to come
So much time apart
Uncertain of if their love has succumbed
Will they be able to restart
The heavens above a sign that it will take flight
Heavenly message given through Aurora nights.

Once upon a time
He was the keeper of her heart
Held tightly at the start
Eventually that heart did stray
And now it has gone away
Taking it for granted was his crime
Now alone he will spend his time
For he is no longer the keeper of her heart
And now they are apart

The dream of a moment with you
Drives me each and every day
Next to you is where I feel whole
My love for you I extol
To touch your skin
Will always draw me in
To see your radiant smile
I would walk a thousand miles
You are all I will ever need
Wanting you my heart has decreed
I love you with all heart
Will never keep us apart
Picture is my own….Me and the love of my life.
Time slips by slowly
Never going as fast as we wish
Or slowly when we need it to
Time together is to short
Time apart drags on and on
Slowly the seconds tick by
Making the minutes move on
With the hours passing into the past
The days mixing into each other
With the months feeling like eternity
Until that day I come home
Into your loving arms
Where I will pass the rest of my time
Until my time runs out
But I will make every second of it count
Because with you is where I belong always

Stages of life pass us by
First, we are baby’s dependent on those around us
Then we are children learn to run, jump and have fun
Followed by those teen years between a child and adult
As we begin our adult years there comes new experiences From marriage to parenthood
Watching our children grow as we go along in our own lives
Growing through those stages of life we once traipsed
Then they reach that time for marriage and starting their own families
Becoming in-laws then grandparents
Oh grandparents a stage I recently came into
How wonderful it has been to watch my baby grow up and have her own baby
As I held my grandson for the first time
The magic of seeing my own daughter as a baby returned
Such a small little person, but so incredible to behold
That love of a child raised tenfold
How fascinated I was just to watch him there
A miracle that started when I met such a beautiful person so long ago
How our love created our own family which now has grown larger you see
Being a grandparent is a badge I wear with pride
A name I love to hear told into my ear
Thank you, Lord, for another wonderful gift
So perfectly made by the hand who made us all
Photo is a personnel photo of myself and my grandson.
There was a time you loved me with no doubt
Then one day that love ran out
The feelings you had for me where gone
You wanted nothing but to be left alone
A sad heart was what afflicted you
I had ignored your cries, I ignored your pleas
Abandoning your despair, you were prepared to leave
I became distraught I became bereaved
Crying out to God to change this blackened heart of mine
Running out of time
He heard my cries, He heard my pleas
A changed heart was His decree
My heart is yours wholly if you desire
Winning your love is what I aspire
This journey to join us back as one
A pilgrimage I will travel until I have won

Does she love me
Does she even care anymore
What is going on in her mind
I bet she finds me ugly and unattractive
Does he love me
Does he even care anymore
What does he think about
Is he even there
Does she find me unappealing
Is she regretting ever being with me
Were is she now
Has he ever really loved me
I think he finds me ugly
Is there someone else out there for me
Why is this happening to me
What should I do
Is it time for me to leave
Maybe we should really talk
Talk about what is going on
Find out what the other is thinking
Hi how are you doing
What is wrong between us
What can we I do to have you stay
I do love you
I love you to
You are so beautiful
You are so handsome
Each day is a new day
Put yesterday in the past
Together in the now
Start fresh with each new day
Forgive and move on
Together Forever……..
