Life's Banquet

When I think of the Lord, I think of you and I Just as when I look for rain, my eyes look to the sky There is one thing in this life, that I can clearly see Just as the Lord made me for you, he made you for me Today was a real bad day, you know these words are true Right up till the point and time, I made it home to you Then just as it always does, your love swept me away Just one smile from you, brightens up my darkest day I love the way you stand by me, forever at my side That’s why as I look at you, my eyes are filled with pride At times I want to scream and shout, others bounce and run Just the sound of your voice, makes those feelings come undone I do not know what I’m trying to say, I just hope my actions show That you are and will forever be, the most beautiful thing I know And never will this heart of mine, lose one drop of its romance For every single time I look at you, sweetheart I want to dance Toni you are the beauty, and I reckon that makes me the beast Since our love is life's banquet, know that I am here to feast

Michael this was just so beautiful. A great tribute to Toni. Its how a couple should behave. Oh I just loved this piece. Honestly speaking, I have never known such pure, powerful and boundless love. It just brings a great feeling within me to know two people who are so much in love with each other. Its my pleasure to know you. Lots of love to you and Toni ~Chitra

I'm crying again! If I could only find a love as special as the love your wife and you share. She is very lucky to have a man as passionate and blessed as you! You have a talent that is a gift from God himself--and I love reading the words that come from you heart! If I had one wish--it would be to take away the pain of your past and bless you with the colors of the rainbow each and every day for the rest of your life! Where's that darn box of tissues? LOL

Love that Cortney. She is a total sweetheart. Oh this poem, this poem. Just understand so well how you feel. The moment my husband walks through the door, all my troubles fly away. We are truly blessed, those of us who have such a true love and deep connection. Of course I have to say this - no doubt Toni is a beauty, but you are far from a beast. But it did make for a great rhyme. : ) Beautiful tribute! Love, Shar xoxo

but i guess god wants me to himself right now, and that's fine by me. i have pushed away many men who were not christians over these past few years, because i know god has someone very special for me, someone i can share the lord with, and pray with, and has the same love for god that i do. so for now i will wait on the lord!!! thank you for all your comments on my poetry mike, you encourage me God bless u and your wife

i love this poem, you have so much love for your wife and that is a beautiful thing. the most crucial part of a relationship is always telling them how much u love and appreciate them, so many people i know take love for granted. being single i always pray that god will one day soon send me a man of god, and im waiting still, it's been 4 years now cont...
