Lon Henson Poem
I awake each day with you on my mind
Knowing you’re time is hours behind
So I imagine it’s me sleeping next to you
And it’s me you still love, not someone new
I talk to you all the time as if you were near
Seeing you in my mind, but your not really here
You’re on my mind as I constantly pace the floor
Still loving you, with all my heart, just as I did before
But I don’t want to love you…anymore
I know your gone forever, and there’s nothing I can do
You moved on with your life, and found someone new
Somebody else will live the life planned for just us two
So, I don’t want to love you…anymore
If I go on this way, loving without love returned
I will lose my mind, without a lesson learned
So I must stop holding on to a love that is through
Stop trying to relive the past and crying over you
So, I don’t want to love you… anymore
But deep within I want to hold you and love for real
I want to hear you say the words that you used to feel
I want to hold your hand, just as we used to do
I want to hear again, “I’ll always love you”
The time we shared together brought joy and happiness
The time you were in my life made life the very best
I don’t want to love you anymore, but it’s true I guess
I will never ever love you... any less

Lon Henson Poem
On a ranch in Arizona Big Daddy was the horse
He beat all the other steeds, on this, his home course
He wasn’t bigger or better, determination was his game
He ran for the love of the stable mare. Queen was her name
He ruled the ranch many years with Queen by his side
Then one day a new stallion would challenge BD’s pride
This new horse was called Teacher, with a stride long and steady
He was younger, stronger and sleeker, than old gray Big Daddy
He strutted his stuff confident he could bring BD down
Soon he would rule the ranch, and he would were the crown
This young stud had caught the eye of the lady Queen
This was the race of BD’s life, because he could lose his dream
She said don’t worry Big Daddy I have faith in you
No other horse will share my stall it’s made for just us two
The race was on, BD ran strong, her words he did not forget
But what Big Daddy didn’t know, it was on Teacher that she bet
Around the track side-by-side, each matching the other’s pace
Teacher still looking fresh, but strain on BD’s face
As they approached the finish line it was BD by a hair
But then he heard the voice, of his lovely mare
Go Teacher! You can do it! I will be your prize!
BD lost his will to win from the shock and surprise
So the new horse won the Queen and control of the ranch
He said to old BD, you never had a chance
I can give what pleases her, as he said with laughter
A life that’s full and easier, with much greener pastures
She told BD, her love had been real, it was not a fake
But telling him he could win, was a big mistake
So Big Daddy lost his place, the stallion now the King
Teacher now rules the ranch with his beautiful Queen
His spirit gone, with no will to race
Big Daddy has moved to another place
He grazes now in a field alone
Wishing he could go back home
But never again will Big Daddy prance
With his Queen… on the Arizona Ranch

Lon Henson Poem
Born again on the night we met
A night that I will never forget
The world as I knew it, was rearranged
From our first kiss everything changed
She changed my life from empty to full
My years with her were wonderful
She said she would always be in love with me
Often said , and with sincerity
I felt our love was secure
Through time or trouble we would endure
Always or forever means infinity
Anything less is just temporary
My age to hers was always a fear
I was older than her by several years
She said, I will always be in love with you
And age will never become an issue
I believed her words to be the truth
But issues did come, and one was youth
Another was my reduced finance’s
Losing my job also reduced my chances
Of living the life, I had dreamed of
And losing what I thought was her love
On the river of time I was her ferry
Just crossing to find someone else to marry
Her love raised me as high as the moon
But alas, the truth… I was born to soon

Lon Henson Poem
First attracted by beauty, and nurtured by lust
Two hearts grew together, to share love and trust
Such a beautiful woman with intelligence and charm
I was so proud to have you on my arm
No longer in life was I just passing through
All things in life became exciting with you
The joy of your touch, the joy of your scent
Filling my senses with what true love meant
You brought love with passion into my life
My hope? Someday… you as my wife
Passionate love, for it we all dream
With you I found it, I love you, Eileen

Lon Henson Poem
I look out the window, but no mountains I see
She's where they are, and I long to be
She steps out the door, where the sun always shines
2000 miles between us, of highway white lines
Time zones separate us, dark here, there light
I watch the clock both day and night
Imagining what she's doing each minute of the day
Is she busy working, or with the boys at play
I miss sharing the moments, with her they'd last
From morning to evening we were the cast
The two of us only, with the boys, it was bliss
Away from it now, there is so much that I miss
Each night, her at the stove, or me at the grill
We'd finish our dinner, then a cheap thrill
Was playing a card game, which most times I won
She's a good sport, which made it great fun
A hot-dog at Costco, the best deal in town
Then over to Starbucks, her Chi she drank down
Back home to her office, where she worked so hard
Me in the lounge chair, or at work in the yard
Most days not exciting by others measurement
But we were together, so we were content
Sometimes I was too idle, my head would ache
For something to do, but then she took a break
I want her to know how happy I’d be
If she would say, Daddy, come home to me
My heart would be lighter, the joy extreme
But as it is now, that's only a dream

Lon Henson Poem
Her name was Eileen
Also called Baby Doll or Queen
With lovely eyes so big and brown
They said how she felt without her making a sound
The lips that I kissed and I loved to touch
And said for so long, “I love you so much”
The words they spoke you could trust as true
Lips so alluring to create lust in you
The touch of her skin as soft as milk
With hair so fine it felt like silk
The warmth of her heart shows on her face
She also has style and so much grace
She’s kind and gentle and so generous
She shares the love within her with all of us
Intellect, charm, strength and personality
She has it all, plus humility
Creating desire and passion I can’t express
A body so perfect like a temptress
Her name means light, and she does shine
I was so proud of this woman, and proud she was mine
Spoiled by her love no one can replace
Left only with memories and an image of her face
The face of an angel is what I see
The love of my life she will always be
Not only lovely, but wonderful
Described in one word she’s
“BEATIFUL”

Lon Henson Poem
When you see, and hear, what is only in your heart... and blind to reality
Your vision of life is blurred by love, faith, and no doubt of honesty
This is the illusion of being loved.

Lon Henson Poem
I’ll always Love You
When two hearts go in separate ways
It’s hard, when within one, love stays
Holding on to, what you thought was true
Hoping your love will return to you
Together sharing love for so many years
One heart moves on, and one fills with tears
Memories of how things used to be
Will not allow your heart to be free
You try to forget, but your mind will regress
Back to the time when you knew happiness
A time when you thought this is how life will be
So you go on living in your own fantasy
You whisper, “I love you” to her everyday
But no one can hear these words you say
You write words of sorrow, and songs of your mood
But sharing with no one your real solitude
The face that is seen is not what is real
There’s no one to tell how you really feel
So you go through life living a pretense
Hoping someday life will again make sense
But something tells you deep within
You will never be as happy, as you were then
Lucky for the time you had, and thought would last
But it was less than a lifetime, so it was much too fast
My life was renewed when she came into my heart
My life now unglued since we’ve been apart
Although I may never see her again
I will love this woman until my life ends
I’ll always love you, “BABYDOLL”

Lon Henson Poem
What is more important the future or the past?
Where loves concerned, and three people are the cast
One had been devoted and loved me many years
The other had my heart, and I had to be near
Emotions overtook me, which one should I follow
Love made me feel alive, but the guilt makes me feel shallow
My wife through the years, helped make me who I am
The other had my heart, which made it hard to take a stand
For too many years I fought this battle, within myself of course
Hoping time and understanding would relieve my remorse
As time went on it happened, wife and family came around
They understood I had to be where my heart was bound
But time had also taken, its toll on my lover
She was tired of waiting, and tired of being the other
Although the time had come, to now become as one
She said, “Love should not be this hard, so I’m moving on"
Our time together was very good, but at times also tough
Now our quest for happiness would no longer be as rough
So it has been very hard to accept and understand
Why fight the battle, then walk away, with victory at hand
An uncomplicated partner is now what pleases her
So she took the path, that was easier
Anything in life worth having, is worth fighting hard to keep
These are the words I tell myself if I start to weep
Don’t be like me, with body and soul now divided
I would still have my love, if sooner I decided
To do what made me happiest, and best for all concerned
Now life is without the one I love, only a lesson learned
My advice to anyone who has to decide
Don’t take too long thinking, and moving side to side
This lesson in life, I wish I knew it at the start
If you have a chance at love…always follow your heart

Lon Henson Poem
Once upon a time...
there was love and caring
Once upon a time...
our lives we were sharing
Once upon a time...
there was happiness
Once upon a time...
there was us
Once upon a time...
