I Miss You My Love.........
Silent night, walking all alone on the beach while bright moon
light falls on me and thinking of my beloved wife.
We may be miles apart from each other but our love and affection
bring us close to each other.
I know it is not easy to love someone from a distance
but my thoughts brings us together
Her love blended with sincerity and I find it hard to define.
Dreaming my love is wonderful and it makes me so happy.
I feel she is close to me always and walks beside me.
I can hear that she calls me and doesn't give up on me.
Forgives my mistake and always invite me in to her hearts.
Loves me for who I am. She quits my fears and raises my spirits.
Always say nice things about me, Understand me, values me.
Her soul with love strengthens me and my heart reminds me
how much I love her and how much I miss her.

It didn’t take much for me to discover,
that the man laying next to me is no longer my lover,
for we have become strangers on this road called life,
once we were friends, now I m just his wife,
destined to spend my days thinking,
while our relationship is slowly sinking,
deeper into the abyss,
I should have known something was amiss,
when he stopped talking,
and started walking,
out all alone,
his heart has turned to stone,
where there once was compassion,
there is nothing more than distraction.
We never meet and walk together,
our bond is held only by a tether,
of rope that soon will break and fade away,
then there will be no more reason fore me to stay...
Coming Home
Coming home to you fills me up beyond my dreams
With all your loving ways my heart gives thanks and beams
We both look up with gratitude as we radiate our joy
And together we stand as one like the first love of a girl and boy
We have been together for many years that this world does not know
That we have shared many lives together as through eternity we go
Together we were born and joined by God’s good plan
You have always been apart of me since all time began
I know that I’m not perfect and sometimes let you down
But you make me feel like a king on a thrown with a golden crown
And I know we enjoy the simple things and will never be alone
As I cherish that simple thing to you love coming home

In the business of life I forgot
With the success of life I lost
Realized I not your affection
Inflicted upon you the solitary affliction
You kept open your eyes in longing
For my single glimpse you kept staring
Yet, I threw upon you thorns of pain
And you gifted me with roses of love
O the tireless lover!
Of this crazy wanderer!
With patience is your lamp lit
With my tsunami is your shore hit
Even as I dived into the ocean of Time
Your love alone turned to be the worthy pearl
Your love, showed me the paradise on earth
Your love, changed this demon to an angel
O the one maddened in my love!
O the one saddened in my love!
I swear to love you till death, but-
Pray for me even as I rest below the earth
You kiss me at the door
Your eyes say good bye
As I walk away
Before the morning light
A long drive a head
One light
And it’s red
Just a turn and a stop up the road
Take me to
My other home
Live stock gets fed
As I amble through my day
Doing the things that I do
Finding ways to keep entertained
Till its over
And I head back to you
Take me to
My other home
Just a stop and a turn up the road
One light
And it’s red
A long drive a head
Two masters can test a mans soul
Family, love, earth, mud
Can top a bottomless pit
A welcome sight
The bright porch light
And inside your eyes wait for me.
Knowing tomorrow again
The day will start with a kiss
As I walk away
From your adoring light
That self righteous son of a pig how dare he leave me with all four kids and claim the
fifth aint his look me in the eye and tell me he aint yours and ill pay the child support
on my own you jerk
You had the nerve to lay down with me and tell me what i gave you was so sweet then you
cheat and you lie saying that perfume i smell is mines you forget i don't buy ten cent
perfume then when we argue you call me stupid and fat and this and that what a jerk to
call me that in front of the kids they didn't ask for this you wouldn't dare hit me though
cause you know im Godzilla and your king Kong and king Kong always loses.
“When You Just Smile”
When you smile at me something lights up inside
With loving joy and laughter as our hearts collide
I know that we have rough spots but always see them through
And all I do is want you near and to spend eternity with you
I really do appreciate you in your gentle loving ways
This churning that’s inside me I will have through all my days
All the things you do for me your support when I have fallen
And how you have to yield to love when His firm hand comes to calling
I hope that I can always live up to what you need me to be
I know I try my hardest to make you proud of me
But I seem to be very human and always seem to stumble
For my goal is to love God and you and reside to being humble
I know my love for you will last more then just a while
And how my whole universe wakes up when you just smile

“Rest in my arms”
Sometimes it’s hard to put my heart into words
As you lift my spirit higher and I soar with the birds
You bring me to levels of unearthly love
Where time seems to stop from this gift from above
God joined our hearts and I can’t say why
But when he speaks through my words I know I can not lie
And I know in your fear it sometimes gets hard
But I will love you until you put down your guard
And when you do this you will see nothing but love
As you rest in my arms and fit me like a glove
I swell up with joy to just sit in your space
And know you have all of me with Gods precious grace
So surrender to me and let’s fly together
Knowing with me there is no stormy weather
The mysteries of the Universe seen simple and clear
So let go of your past, worries, and fear
So rest in my arms and know its forever
And only when God calls me is when we won’t be together
So now you know in my final plea
Rest in my arms and enjoy life with me

Monday morning
Kettle’s boiling
Kids asleep and Dad’s still snoring.
Standing by the kitchen sink
Mother really needs a drink
Tea of course, but as usual
pile of ironing on the table.
Chopping fruit and making toast
Butter, jam she hears the post.
Probably just another bill, props it on the window sill
Sipping tea, cold by now
Muttering she makes a vow
Checks the time
More washing ready for the line.
Tomorrow I will ask them all to do
Something useful something to
Help me clean and help me cook
Not just sit around and look
“Mum where are you?” she hears them shout.
Peace is shattered and so is she, without a doubt.
Time alone
Yeah, we all need
But how does it help
When we need help
Because I still see
I see you parked in the car
In the driveway
The sunlight cast shadows
But still I see you
Do you see me?
Do you see? I’m sorry
This kitchen window
Lets me see you
And still feel you
But really lets me see me
The fact I need you
Do you see me?
Do you see? I’m sorry
We took the vows
Of man and wife
We all disagree
That’s just part of life
The harder we hit
With verbal attacks
It takes even longer
For us to come back
But do you see?
Do you see me? I’m sorry
Funny thing
This time apart
I’m watching you
I think you’re watching me
We hold our hearts
We wear them for the other
That’s all I can say
At least for today
Do you see?
Come inside to me
.
Who I am,
who I used to be
you still feel.
The deep wound
in my soul you
somehow heal.
Each time on me
your affection
you lay,
the darkness
deep in me
is cast away.
And it's you
who light my path
now and then,
convincing me
I'm worth your love
once again.
.
Please help me I’ve fallen
And I can’t get up
I’ve fallen before
Thought once was enough
But now that I’ve fallen
I found that’s not true
I’ve fallen again dear
In love with you
Now we’ve been together
For 40 odd years
We’ve had lots of laughter
We’ve shed a few tears
Yet after that time dear
And all we’ve been through
I’ve fallen again dear
In love with you
I never could give you
Great riches and wealth
But you stood beside me
In spite of myself
And now that we’ve aged some
It’s hit me anew
I’ve fallen again dear
In love with you
So what do you say dear
So how do you feel
When you think of me dear
Do you sometimes reel
Have you ever considered
Once wasn’t enough
Will you fall again dear
With no thought to get up
I said I do,
But believe me I don’t
What I meant is I do
But she says hell you won’t
When I said I do
I didn’t know it meant her way
So I should have said I don’t
On that so called special day
But if I said I don’t
She would have convinced me I do
I should have ran off that day
But me legs won’t go my way
Me tongue betrayed me
When it said I do
Just to find out later
That if I do or won’t or don’t
"I’m dammed if I do"
"And I’m dammed I don’t"
I fell in love...
It was wonderful!
I was totally fulfilled,
My every day existed for him only.
I trusted...
I was relieved.
Someone to share my deepest thoughts.
Someone to appreciate me for myself,
Not for who he wanted me to be.
I married...
I pledged my undying love-for eternity.
I cooked and cleaned like a good little wife.
I bore his children,
This was "our" life.
This, I thought..
Was my safe, secure little world.
In him I found the one thing
I had so longed to have
A Friend.
He became my only true friend.
He knew the secrets,
That lay beneath my soul.
Soon, he changed...
He deceived, abused, and betrayed.
He shattered the foundation of our relationship
I tried, I cried, but all was ignored.
The pain was unbearable.
What more can I do?
We cease to exist.
Communication? No longer!
Care? No more!
The happiness is gone.
Trust- deceased!
Affection, passion, and sharing...
Did they really exist?
I feel stupid, null, and void.
I feel used.
I trust NO MORE!!!
To this part of my life,
the part leaving me vulnerable-
I close the door.
How can I love again?
Maybe someday, from deep within...
My bride, my bride; how wonderful is she.
So lucky am I that she would pick me.
She loves me so much and it realy shows,
Clearly when she helps me pick out my clothes.
She loves so much to travel, so do I,
Taking trips with her is a love of mine.
She loves so much our little room of red.
I loved the blanket she picked for the bed.
She loves so much her sweet little students
She wants them to learn all of their subjects.
She loves animals so much, "more bread please,"
For all the ducks, turtles, fish and doggies.
She loves so much the good Lord up above.
So much more I have learned how much for her I love
