SweeterThan All the Roses
Wishing that I could roll back the years,
And stop my hot, burning tears!
Though no prayers, can turn back the clock,
As you slept in my arms, with only one sock.
No more seeing you in Wal-Mart, silly -dance!
Only in cracked, memory’s mirror, I have a chance.
For you, belong to tomorrow ‘s rainbows and sunshine,.
Grandson, for you, in gratitude, I do in tears pine!
Those baby soft days, talcum- powdered, ever divine!

I’m supposed to be pretty sweet~ however, I must have broken a few strings
i deserved a sweeter goodbye
one with less bruises
more understanding
less poison
but what could i expect
when your tongue is laced with it
and your nails are sharp
and the golf club has never left your hand
It is like the rain on a summer day
Each drop restoring, keeping heat at bay
If not for this I'd burn in hot sun rays
Bringing the rainbow, not blue sky to gray
It is like music, hearing holds you still
Goosebumps testifying to the thrill
If I couldn't hear, heart and soul would feel
this melody like medicine that heals
It is like magic, spells in each exhale
wrapping me in arms of love, all is well
So, let the rain fall cool, let music swell
Let your magic ring out like chiming bells
Let me be the reason, it will abound
For to hear you laugh, there's no sweeter sound
The most sweetest appetising apple
Cream of the crop
On the apple cart
Is placed on the top
And tastes divine
Aesthetically pleasing
Attracting many to bite
But sometimes
Rotten to the core
But if not
It's something you want more and more
It's the dreamer's wish
The prettier the girl
The sweeter the kiss.
When we’ve commenced this journey of love, so profound.
Our hearts are filled with hope that our love may abound.
Hand in hand, we embarked this relationship anew,
And through the years, our love continues to grow.
Through all life's twists and turns, we're still tightly bound.
Where the relish in our hearts can still be found.
The years went by and we stoutly weathered life's storms,
Trekking lofty mountains and yet our bond transforms.
For many years as one, we've ceaselessly walked this road,
Building a love that's strong, bringing a heavy load.
But in the hardest moments, we’re braced by God’s grace,
His unfailing love for us continues to embrace.
So, let the years continue to quickly pass us by,
For our love, like honey, grows sweeter as we try.
With you by my side, my hopeful heart will always soar,
Sweeter as the years go by, we’ll thrive more and more.
dark berries of vine,
quench up this overdue thirst.
sweet juices, divine,
rest on my deserted tongue,
colour me, how you desire.

From the internal of the internal,
to the throne of the Eternal,
the bitter turns sweeter
scening eternity to the sigher,
soothing and solacing the sinner ,
and O! silencing the sneaky serpent.
Like an eagle it causes the drooping sobbing spirit
to rise over salty storms.
Miss Brown’s lips turned violet,
After kissing him without regret,
She hadn’t felt his gums
In purple flavored plums,
His secret for sweeter fresh breath.

Optimist but options still exist and
Gambling men know houses always win so
Build a base with me to beat the odds
Let em shoot and use the bricks to build a
Fortress for us fortify the bonds
Build a base and then provide the tones so
Neighbours think our waters laced with
Sweeter things
I remember when,
I was young;
I used to hang out in the kitchen;
wit Grandma
And on every Saturday afternoon
She would always make homemade pastries
And on the table was her bible and hymnal
And I would Always ask her
As she was hummin
You she grams WAS always happy
she'd say(sing)
My God, is sweeter than candy
And He is so handy
He's my Holy Daddy
I remember when,
I was young;
I used to hang out in the kitchen;
wit Grandma would say, Hey!
she'd say(sing)
My God is sweeter than candy
My God is sweeter than candy
My God is sweeter than candy
And He is so handy
He's my Holy Daddy and He is
Sweeter than candy
My God is sweeter than candy

a rose is a rose
though bent by the spiteful wind
some petals are lost
its fragrance has not lessened
beauty changes but remains
its essence the same
yet overlooked, you pass by
touching another
perfection your objective
you forget time's truthfulness
beauty is fleeting
roses were not meant to last
yet this bleeding rose
pummeled and bent, almost crushed
offers you the sweeter scent

Sweet and breezy
The falling maple leaf
Slow but steady
Fleeting
Real
Blazing in my memory
Like an autumn sunset
But when you
Wake up
The moment's gone
Leaving the warmth
Going cold
In the dim light
When Love's in my bed~Heaven is in my head~Dreams are Sweeter with HUGS
Cuando el amor esta en mi cama
El cielo esta en mi alma
Suenos son mas dulces con abrazos
love
is
charity
that
dwell
in
your soul
still
sweeter
than
gold
