Forever Two in Love
Come away with me on golden steed
to places of the heart
We'll ride upon the back of one
to the land of no depart
Forever basking in the warmth
from crimson sun above
To frolic on the shores of peace
and bathe ourselves in love
The sands we place our feet upon
will be of purest white
Free of worry, free of pain
as our souls traverse in flight
You take me there on lightest wings
two souls meld into one
My very thoughts becoming yours
our new life has begun
Lord guard us from the enemy
we pray in Jesus name
Protect our union by your grace
to never bring you shame
United with the blessings from
the Father up above
And the world will slowly fade away;
forever two in love

Janice Smith Poem
When I closed my eyes and fell asleep in the premature hours of dawn
I never dreamed Your face would be
The next I’d look upon
My vehicle came to rest against the square concrete pylon
And those who found me declared to all
“It appears as though he’s gone”
They said I had the look of peace upon my face so fair
And in my lap my hands were laid
As if God placed them there
Just underneath those hands of mine my Gummy Bears were found
How is it that they rested there
And were not tossed around
You chose for me the greatest dad and mother one could have
And my sister; she’s so beautiful
Will you hold her for me Dad
For all of those that knew me knew how much I loved the game
But they also knew I loved you Lord
And someday you’d call my name
I’m grateful that I prayed the prayer to receive you in my heart
Now I know for sure that heaven is real
And we two shall never part
My final game was played that day as I heard you say “well done”
I ran into my dwelling place
Where I’m truly “safe at home”
Dedicated to RJ Ledesma jr who was called from this earth much to soon. May you rest in the Lord's care till we see you again. October 29, 1992 - September 24, 2011

Janice Smith Poem
I awaken from this peaceful slumber and shake
myself to empty my eyes of the sleep that has resided there.
As my eyelids slowly open they are met with the
most brilliant crimson that I could ever imagine.
A scarlet so pure that I’m sure I have
never before experienced its color,
never seen anything so soothing;
for in its hues I find a warmth and peace
that has never touched this heart of mine.
As I rise to my feet I’m relaxed by the
tranquility that I feel in my heart.
The walls that are before me glisten with that warmth and brilliance.
As I move about I recognize that there are
no doors or windows in my new surroundings.
Nevertheless, I feel no fear of entrapment or threat
for I am secure by the presence that I feel around me;
a reassurance that all is at harmony within my heart and soul.
But I have to ask myself, where am I and what has brought
me to this place of enchantment? While I ponder that question
something speaks to my heart, not in
audible words as spoken by an orator
but something revealed to me through my spirit
as if whispered from your spirit to mine.
Oh yes, now I understand what is being
conveyed to me through this awareness.
I have awakened within the confines of your heart.
Now there is no way out and I shall be forever grateful,
and what better place to be than here.

Janice Smith Poem
To truly forgive is more than just
a few words off the tongue
More important are the actions
that so loudly then are sung
What is forgiveness and who has
found this action of the heart
That shapes the spirit of the bitter one
in whom those feelings start
A lifetime of misery is in store
if you cannot shake the past
When those that enter into your life
will truly never last
For the memories of a love gone bad
will haunt the very soul
And cause you to refuse to live your life;
it takes its toll
The heart will grow more calloused towards
the ones who enter in
And ugly words will soon ensue
to build the walls within
A parting of the ways will then
give in to hanging on
Thus causing pain and agony;
another loved one now has gone
A life's lesson for those of us that have a hard time forgiving.
