In Celebration

33 years since the day of your birth,
I hope that you realize just how much you're worth!
From the very first moment of your very first day,
you've touched many a heart in your own unique way.
You're brilliant and thoughtful in so much that you do.
You bring hope and joy just by being you!
Talented, handsome and smart, what a blend.
And if that weren't enough, you're a truly great friend!
Awesome, amazing, inspiring, true blue,
courageous, and witty . . . they all describe you.
And though we've been friends now for quite a while,
you still light up my world with your radiant smile.
So, as you embark on this brand new year
celebrate your life, as I do, with thanksgiving and cheer!!

You Amaze Me

I see you approaching from a distance
and my heart leaps with joy!

The cares of the day seem to fade into oblivion,
no longer weighing on my mind.

The sun appears brighter & the birds sing more sweetly
because you are near.

You speak & my world stands still to listen,
carefully trying to catch every word.

Without even realizing, you are wonderful!!
You AMAZE me!

You

Your eyes flicker with the light of burning embers,
glinting brightly as they delve into my soul.

Your smile is so warm it sends chills down my spine,
melting the iciness that is my heart.

Your voice is the melody of my favorite song,
playing to sooth my weary mind.

Your scent is that of the richest potpourri.
Breathing you in, I cannot inhale deeply enough.

Your movements are swift, yet graceful . . .
a beautiful dance, a sight I love to behold.

Your wit is clever & sharp,
disarming my toughest defenses.

Your passion & conviction are so strong,
few could ever compare.

The Truth of Love

Love is not something that we can understand with our mind alone. It is not something that we can see with our eyes only, or sense with our emotions only. Love is something much deeper, much more all-encompassing. Love cannot be truly or fully described with words, nor fully portrayed with images or notes played by an orchestra. Love must be experienced fully with all senses alert & enraptured in its grasp. Love is not something that can be imitated, falsely mimicked or falsely witnessed. Love is something that once felt can never be unfelt. It is something that once given can never be truly taken away. Love is stronger & more powerful than any other force or emotion known to mankind. Love can bring such jubilation, yet tear us bit from bit in utter gut wrenching despair & anguish. Love is pure, raw & untainted in its true form and is the most beautiful thing we can share with another human being. It is the ultimate purpose for our lives here on this earth, to understand and become better at honest love and to give it freely and fully. To share love without concern for our own selfishness and to allow others to know that we love them is what we must do. God has called us to love one another, even if it means that our hearts must be broken in the end. Love is the only thing that makes this life worthwhile. It is the ultimate goal and the ultimate reward!

Untitled Love

Your face is the sun that lights up my darkness.
Your voice is the melody that puts me at ease.

Your body, the masterpiece by which beauty is defined.
Your movements, more graceful than dancing on air.

The smell of your body is the perfume I could never breathe deeply enough.
Your smile is the joy that rings in my soul.

Your love, so complete that it fills the holes in my heart.
Your touch so gentle it makes me feel whole.

My Love

(for my awesome, wonderful, amazing husband)

In all that we've been through
I am so thankful to have you.
You are my strength and my light.
You make my world safe and bright.
When uncertainties arise
I find comfort in your eyes.
In our union, you've been the glue.
Your love has always remained true.
I'm so blessed that you are by my side.
Everything, in you, I can confide.
I love you with every part of me
and try to show you regularly.
Your love amazes me in so many ways.
I'm devoted to you the rest of my days!
