I love you more than all the stars in the sky
I love you more than anyone else
I love you more than life itself
I love you more than I thought possible
I love you more than words can express
I love you more than numbers can quantify
I love you more than you love me
I love you more than you can ever know
You are brave and so damn smart,
you have the kindest, biggest heart
If you could see yourself how I do
you wouldn't be so hard on you.
Life is a hard game we play,
just trying to make it through each day
and perfection is not perfect at all
we must rise after we fall.
Take a look around my dear,
the world is full of hope and fear
I know you will be okay
cause everyone finds their way.
I love you more than words can express,
and I long to see your happiness
you're my son that's very true
but I see a light that shines in you.
You burn like a million stars,
I know you'll have your share of scars
the road will turn, twist, and bend
but that is not where your adventure ends.
Make your path the way you choose,
what do you have to lose
just know that I'm always here
I love you lots, that much is clear.

Appearing out of the cracked pavement of my life’s path
Love came with healing and so much beauty
Causing the ash heap of past broken promises and shattered dreams to take flight and be scattered like chaff in the wind-
Liberating me from the chains of loneliness, hopelessness, disappointment, shame and blame
Making me anew
With a fresh outlook on life on my toward Life
Where Love truly abides in genuine expressions of
intimacy for better days and future happiness-
More joy and strength
A life more blessed by a once upon a time love-
A love at its best!
A love unfathomable!
—more than words can express!
—higher than the highest mountain!
—deeper than the oceans depth!
—longer than the eons of time, and
—more genuine than the most perfect of diamonds!
This once upon a time Love is on time!
It is God-breathed, lasting and forever blessed!
Martha Malloy
There was once I knew an eccentric woman,
Though some may have called her strange,
Her actions were the loudest words spoken,
Each person she met experienced a change.
For some it may have been passing,
For others a lifelong trek.
For help she never was asking
On others she’d rather check.
Her love for her family and friends
Was more than words can express
To each event she was bound to attend
And she always had the best dress.
Though she is in heaven, smiling from above,
I’ll always remember that eccentric woman
Who taught me that family was a labor of love
And that actions were the loudest words spoken.
~ In loving memory of Mary Lee Weiler
Dearest Holy Spirit,

You share the deepest part of Me,MY SOUL
You Love me to a Fault
You are the one for me
My Best Friend,
My ever Present Paraclete,
I'll LOVE You till when finally
I can see you with my eyes in Heaven.
Love,
Your Mortal Darlin'.
Appearing out of the cracked pavement of my life's path-
Love came with healing and so much beauty
Causing the ash heap of past broken promises to fade and
Shattered dreams to take flight like chaff in the wind
Liberating me from the chains of loneliness, disappointment, shame and blame
Making me anew with a fresh outlook on life, on my way to life-
Where love truly abides in genuine expressions of intimacy for better days
And future happiness-
More joy and strength: A life more blessed by once upon a time love:
A love at its best:
Loving more than one can fathom-
More than words can express, higher than the highest mountain
Deeper than the ocean's depth,
Longer than the eons of time, and
More genuine than the most perfect of diamonds.
A once upon a time love that's on time, God-breathed, lasting for ever; blessed and a blessing.
A love making me totally complete. Whole.
