LIGHT OF MY LIFE
(Apropos Of My Queen's 81st Birthday)
You light up my life;
My sunshine and its moonlight:
All darkness dispelled:-
My Teacher Is The Light Of My Life
Birds sing sweetly in the morning
The sky is clear without clouds and blue
My teacher came riding a bicycle
Bring useful knowledge
For our beloved ones
My teacher gave me a role model
Without tiredness or time
The light of your lamp will always live
Illuminates every step of the journey
Your knowledge will be useful throughout your life
My teacher told me
When you grow up you will become a useful person
To the nation
I pinned the message in my heart
All your services will never be forgotten
Into my life, you brought light.
These feelings for you I can't fight.
I would say your timing was just right.
You were not a minute too soon, or too late.
Everything about you is so great.
I consider you so heavenly.
You're the best thing to happen to me,
inspired by another member's poem
Light of my life,
Lord of my days,
Savior of my forever.
He who first walked this path,
He who's steps I try to fill.
In peace he lived.
With beauty he taught.
In living his words,
he asked all to live as he.
My heart sings his joyous praise.
The beauty of his creation fills my eyes.
My soul soars with the thought,
of what he did,
he did for us.
For our souls he was betrayed,
for our sins his life he gave.
He suffered great pain that we would not.
And all he did,
he did for us.
Eastern Shore, Glowing Coal
Lighting Up the Depths of My Soul
Bringer of Light
Slayer of Night
I have Met You In Human Form
Extinguisher of Light
Turning Life into Perpetual Night
Killer of Day
You have nothing to Say
As I helplessly Watch you Vanish West
Like a lighthouse I stand tall.
Always here if you call.
I scan the deep, turbulent sea.
In case you ever need me.
I weather all the storms,
as in the day you were born.
I guide you safely back home,
to where it's comforting and warm.
As a lighthouse never fails,
may you always set your sails,
back to where there's solid ground,
and my open arms are to be found.
Walk into my arms my baby doll.
Allow a mother's love unfurl.

From the Heart Poetry Contest
For Regina McIntosh.
You're the light of my life
You make me happy
You make me glow
You make me shine
You're the light of my life
You bring smiles to my face
You brighten up my day
You cheer me up
You bring me happiness and contentment
You're the light of my life
and for that I am grateful
My wife was a prostitute but I don't care what she did before.
The only thing that is important is that she's not a prostitute anymore.
I was so angry when she told me that I thought our relationship was in peril and I was about to end it.
But I love her and I changed my mind in just a matter of minutes.
She's made mistakes but I won't judge her for her past.
We adore each other and we have a love that will last.
She's my soulmate, she's the light of my life.
I love her more than life itself, she's a good wife.
I know what she did was wrong but when push comes to shove.
I don't care about her past, all that matters is that I'm in love.
(This is a fictional poem.)
Memories of you overwhelm my mind,
Your serenity and nature ever so kind,
I embrace you , as if the end was near,
In that instance, i would not have succumbed to fear,
Cause my life was complete , for you are here,
The bond of our love strengthened , side by side,
Till the thought of each others absence, swept me off my feet like a strong tide.
We dance under the moonlight,
Losing ourselves in the night,
I gaze into your loving eyes,
Waiting for the eventual sunrise
Years have passed and here we are,
The gods have been kind, allowing our love to persevere so far,
As i give thanks for a bountiful life lived,
I leave behind but a single regret,
Praying that your love is something i never forget,
The thought of leaving you makes my soul restless,
But never despair my love ,
for our journey will be forever priceless..
The Light of My Life
Rommel E. Gabitan
You came when I was in despair
Crying my heart out in the rain
Your voice eased the burden inside
My lonesome, troubled, broken heart
You came when the stars faded away
When their light ceased, darkness followed me
My fears and tears ate me up inside
With no guts, no strength, no glory to fight
All of a sudden, morning came by
With all your light, you turned darkness aside
All my fears were gone, strength was renewed
With the dawning of hope, glory was restored
My heart sings with joy and laughter
Everything is finally in great harmony
Now I sing a new song of hope and triumph
I’ll tell the world, you’re the light of my life
My darling, beauty of my eye,
when alone, it's for you I cry;
but now that I have found you,
never again will I be left blue;
with you each and every day,
in my heart is where you'll stay;
to be by my side in good or bad,
the best woman that I ever had;
to always be the light of my life,
to bring happiness and no strife;
so stay with me forever more,
because it is you I always adore.
In the darkness,
I found your light.
When all was hopeless,
your beauty shown bright.
When I thought that I
could love no more.
You touched my heart,
to the very core.
You made me smile,
when I could only frown.
You picked me up
when I was down.
When all was lost
you gave me life.
You brought me joy
instead of grief.
Now I think of you
every day and night.
you came into my life
and made everything right.
i smile when we're together
and when we are apart.
the presence of your beauty
stops my very heart.
i hope as time goes on
you will see how i feel.
and i hope that you will see
that these feelings are for real.
I love you truly,
I love you honestly.
I love you completely,
I love you solely.
She who is the sun
She lights my days and my nights
She who is the moon
You are the light of my life
I will help you not to strife
For your mom is here
I will dry every tear
You are the reason of day
To stop and hug to say
I love you my son
And you are the only one
Even if mommy is feeling low
You make my heart glow
Even though you are three
I see a lot of me
You are the light of my life
Even if I struggle and strife
You are my sunshine in every way
To help me go on every day!!

You Are The Light of My Life
You are the light of my Life
You are the best
Every time I see you
My heart jumps out of my chest
Every time I hear your name
My blood pressure goes up
And every time I see you
I just want to throw up
You are the light of my Life
You are the best
When I'm around you
I forget about the rest!
