I No Longer Doubt, I Believe

I believe because we fit so well my love,
Love was foreign now you're my heart’s song.
You made me believe you're a gift from above.
Before you, my love my life was all wrong.
I’d listen to your confessions all night long,
I’m utterly happy to be your loving wife.
In your loving arms is where I belong,
I’m grateful that you are a part of my life.


My love, we mesh together like hand and glove,
I could never doubt our love, it's solid and strong.
You are so gentle and you don’t push or shove,
I’m so glad we met that night in Hong Kong.
On that sweet day loves wings came along,
I didn’t believe in fate until I found you.
Sweetheart in your presence folk just throng, 
I’m grateful that you are a part of my life.

All of your touches are gentle as a dove,
You take me to new heights, my Armstrong.
Life with you is more than I dreamed of,
I’m no longer a wayward vagabond. 

Honey, we have such a remarkable bond,
We’ve had ups and downs but not much strife.
My heart and yours will always correspond, 
I’m grateful that you are a part of my life.

Dear friend Alexis, everlasting love until death does us all part, I often say to my hubby, can't we be eternally forever - I've had discussions with priests and one said, we are all loving souls when we reach heaven (supposing I do) and love one another as we should love our neighbor in the 10 commandments, complicated, it makes me afraid to die, been away for two weeks and lost touch with friends and poetry soup. Did post a poem. Hope 2022 brings health, adventure and surprises. Hugs Jenny.
