For the love of my life….
wife
Skype Date
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….

Rock
A rock of strength
Toughness that pushes through
Steadiness in the storm
A light in the darkness
The backbone of the family
A glue that holds it so true
What more can I say
How much more can I explain
The power of this woman
A perseverance that is steadfast
My bestfriend, wife, lover and mother
The Rock that holds our family together

Time Apart
Time apart from you
Left for work saying adieu
Mind wanders around
Can make me feel down
The beep of my phone
Means a message from back home
Where you wait for me
The place I would rather be
Biding my time until I see you again
The waiting can drive me insane
Walking through the door
Arriving to your kisses and so much more
Until that time comes
I will sit here all glum
Until that time all my love I send to you.
In Your Eyes
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

LOVE
Lifted up by the who you are
Outwardly expressing my desire for you
Vaulted into the atmosphere by your delicate touch
Entranced by your inner and outer beauty radiating through me
23 Years
There was a day when I said no way
I would never be the one to take the plunge
Staying a single man was my plan
Hiding up in the mountains away from it all
It was what I wanted all along
Then one day a sight came to my eyes
A girl who I swore was out of my league
She had a smile and a twinkle in her eyes
That made you melt inside
I knew I was in trouble from the start
She was going to have my heart
The plunge I knew I was going to take
The day of our wedding I showed up late
23 years ago I said I do
Today I say I Love only you
Thank you for making me see the light
I thank God for taking the dark out of my night
The Lord blessed me on that day
23 years ago Today.
You are the starlight on a dark night that guides me home….
For my wife who I miss when I am away.

Reintroduction of A Soldier’s Walk
I just wanted to say thank you first to all of you out there that have taken the time to read my writings. When I first started this blog, I didn’t know what to expect or whether I would be able to even write anything. My experience with writing anything was an occasional letter to someone and writing Papers in High School and College (A long time ago for both). I am what you would have called at the time, a failed husband, a self-prescribed underwhelming father and just going through the motions of life. I was really dead inside and was lost at how to get out of it. My wonderful wife, who I almost lost due to this absence I had allowed into our marriage is the one who lead me into this world. She has been blogging for around 3 years and I must say is an amazing writer. See her blog here; https://puttingmyfeetinthedirt.com/ . I won’t go into her journey with her blog, but let’s just say my absence in our marriage was behind some of her writings. I didn’t know a thing about poetry beyond maybe Dr. Seuss books. I just knew I had so much bottled up inside of me. I was never one who was good with emotions, I just bottled them up and stuffed them deep down inside. With writing this blog I have found a freedom to express a lot of these emotions not only through my writing, but in my life. Over these last few months I have been on a journey that was to win the heart of my wife back. I know this is not a journey with an end, but something I need to do every day.
A majority of my writing has been inspired on my feelings towards my lovely wife. I hope this journey may inspire others to know that it is never too late to fight for what is right, no matter what it may be. I know a lot of you were surprised to find out that ~ M and I were husband and wife. It was a decision made mutually between us to hide that fact until we knew was the right time. I have learned a lot about myself through this blogging adventure and reading and interacting with so many of you have really made a lasting imprint on my life. I am amazed by all the talent I see through so many of you and am inspired by it. Again I want to just reintroduce myself and say hello and thank you for coming along on this journey with me.
Yup that is a real picture of me.
Letting Go
To the love of my life
I must say it is time for me to let go
Time for me to let go of all my issues
Time to let go of all the feelings and emotions I have kept hidden in my soul
Time to let go of holding back on my ability to love and be whole
Time to let go of hiding behind my mask
Time to let go of the wall I created around myself
Time to let my heart go and merge with you
Time for me to let go and be the one you need me to be
It is time to go forward and become the man, husband, friend and lover you always deserved.
