God's Perfect Path

God’s Perfect Path

For it was written 
Upon the heavens
That you and I should meet

It was God’s perfect timing
That we could never cheat

Today is the day
To celebrate what we have been given

Today is the day 
To really start living

Just You and I

Lying in bed
Just you and I

Closed off from the world outside
Just as it should be

Raindrops gently falling
Dancing on the window pane

We are wrapped tightly 
in the arms of our love

No words are needed
the silence is understood

There is a sense of peace 
in knowing that all is right 
In the world

Loving Arms

Loving Arms 

Before I knew you

In my dreams I saw you there
Ever waiting on the shore

I wasn't ready to receive you yet
Yet you stood there ever more

I saw your arms outstretched 
In my heart 
Your love for me was etched

Now the day has come 
You and I are one

Thank you for your patience 
And undying love

For you waited for me
And were ever gracious

Soul Awakening

Soul Awakening

Wrapped in your arms
My soul awakened 
From a long dark sleep
My heart is now alive
No more do I weep
My lover’s smile 
So tender and true
A sweet ray of God’s sunshine 
Lead me to you
Blissful now
Content somehow 
Where once my heart 
Was pummeled 
And pounded
No more do I fear
Love sounds
Sounded…
Love is now all that I hear
So hold me close
My darling one
With you by my side
All fear is gone….

Cherish

Cherish 

Two hearts one soul
A love meant to be 

Cherish the love
God has chosen
For thee

In all things be true
To the one
Who loves you

Forget not
Life is about compromise 
This is a word to the wise

For each day is fleeting 
Moments you never get back

But if you cherish each moment
There is nothing you will lack

My Lover - My Friend

I look into your eyes and see

A soul I’ve known for a million years

Wasn’t looking for love

And yet you appeared

You came into my life 

Like a warm gentle breeze

With your easy way 

And sweet sweet smile 

Couldn’t help myself

I fell in love with such ease

My lover

My friend

My love for you

Will never end

Invisible Chains

Longing for arms that once held me tight
Longing to make love to you - it once felt so right
Longing for something…I’m not quite sure
All I know is when you held me 
I felt so secure 

I wish I could close my eyes - start this life over 
Wake up in a new time and place
And start each day 
Smiling back at your beautiful face 
It’s your laughter I miss, your sweet gentle kiss…

Still I need to remember 
That day in September
When you said you never loved me
 Said you set my heart free

I think you will agree…
That the love that we shared 
Was but one sided
The love I felt for you
Was sadly misguided

I fooled myself, I wasn’t that smart
Thought I could be the one 
To unlock your heart

I thought I was living my dream 
Didn’t know I was living a lie
A lie I was too blinded to see
Until you said goodbye

Loving you was all that mattered
Now I’m left to pick up the pieces of my heart…
Now broken and battered 

The time has come to close this chapter 
I’m no longer your slave
You are no longer my captor
For you didn’t know what you had
I would have gone to the ends of the earth for you
Would have loved you forever 

So yes it is time 
Time to break these invisible chains 
Of a love
That was felt only by me
These invisible chains 
Of a love that was never meant to be

Only the Beginning

Only the Beginning 

Do not weep for me
For now it is heaven I see
Glorious fields of green 
And oceans blue
Twinkling stars in the sky
On angels’ wings I now fly
Do not weep for me my darling one
I am forever in your heart
Heaven – once a mystery 
Is now just a start
And once again we shall meet
Until that time comes
Smile for me
Dance for me
Be light on your feet
For when you think of me
I’ll be thinking of you

My Heart's Desire

My Heart’s Desire

Upon the sea alone I sail
A lonely ship of dreams 

You sailed away without me
Love eludes me it seems...
And I am very frail

If I could make time stand still
If I could make you mine
Then time would be my friend 
Life would be divine

But here I stay
Stuck in the mire
And there you are 

My aching heart’s desire

The Honest Truth

The Honest Truth

I am a simple girl
My feelings are honest and true
I just yearn to be loved
Like I love you
No need for the past 
To rear its ugly head
With you I see laughter
And bright days ahead
At last I have found you
No more tears 
Take my hand and trust in me
Let your heart love me
And together we shall be free
To discover what God intends 
Honesty and love 
Between you
And me
