Sweet

One sun to warm our hearts,
one dream to make it all
come true. In this dimension
upon the clouds we dance
the whole night through.

Morning chases the night,
and around and around it
goes. Through it all I hold
your hand and embrace
the love that grows.

~
At the top of the mountain,
to the clouds in the sky,
my fears and my worries
fade from the mind.

You gave your love to me,
your faith in everything as
you taught my heart how
to dream.

At the top of the mountains,
the clouds in the sky,
my fears and my worries
fade from my mind.

You played the song sweet,
the words of love swept me
off my feet and from day one
it was you my love that entered
my heart.

At the top of the mountains,
the clouds in the sky,
my fears and my worries
fade from my mind.

You made each day we share,
special beyond compare, you
gave my life a new start.

Eternity times nine

Capture a moment in time and make it your own. It is a visual snapshot of life or a memory in the making.

Lights are low,
 music playing,
lights are low and
 in your arms I'm
 staying.

Stars above us,
dreams surround us
and in the dark of
the night, I find my
self with you.

I gaze into your eyes
and I see all that you
are the love you share
that rules the stars.

Lights are low,
music playing,
lights are low and
in your arms I'm
staying.

This is the dream
come true, your
lips to mine beneath
sky slow blue.

Rose petals a little
cliche, tossed across
my pillow a reminder
of the love you gave.

Lights are low,
music playing,
lights are low and
in your arms I'm
staying.

Over the mountains,
sandy shores at sea,
each day we share,
is like a warm summer
breeze.

Lights are low,
music playing,
lights are low and
in your arms I'm
staying.

My lips to yours,
your hands through
my hair,click lets
save this moment
for a lifetime to share.

Lights are low,
music playing ,
lights are low and
in your arms I'm
staying

Snuggles closer,
as close as two can
be and there I close
my eyes and feel you
next to me.

~
The season in passing,
belong to you and I,
like a fire burning
winter brings its own
surprise.

Early spring a reminder
of what is new, like
a garden growing our
love began to bloom.

Rolling into summer,
sunshine and glee,
the happiness is
when you share with
me.

Autumn will near and
colors will she bring,
a sad reminder that
everything passes
like a dream.

The season documents
time, recording our
love for eternity times
nine.

Lifetime to Share

There is more than one way to slay a dragon. 

Rainbows bridge the blue sky,
an arch from your heart to mine,
hold on tight we have a lifetime
 to share.

The gateway divine, dreams of
love make you mine, hold on tight
we have a lifetime to share. 
~

Everytime I Close My Eyes - Babyface ft. Mariah Carey (Lyrics)

ok maybe a little closer

The sound of the train,
the blue of the sky,
the waves on the river
and a pebble or two.

Looking back and
here is what I see,
the view of the child,
that lives on in me.

The sound of the train,
the blue of the sky,
the waves on the river
and a pebble or two.
~
There are chapters with many pages 
and a few still left to turn. On this 
stroll through life there is still a lot 
to learn. 


There is mountains yet to climb 
and river and seas and a journey
that awaits for you and me. 


There are storms in passing,
skies so blue and a cloud 
where I feel your hand pull
me close to you. 



There are chapters with many pages 
and a few still left to turn. On this 
stroll through life there is still a lot 
to learn. 


There is dance each evening,
the smile each morn and the
faith into tomorrow from the
day our love was born.
~

...as close as my dreams.

Tighter...

I have those few places which are an escape. Like a bench in the park, the rarely visited waterfall, the big rock down by the stream and sometimes it is when I am writing and feeling closer to you. Many times I have compared life to a card game. We have a hand dealt us, several cards to play and a outcome which is dependent upon the choices we make. We can play the cards many ways, but we can't change the hand we are dealt.

Squeeze tight, I want to feel your hand in mine. 


~


Close your eyes and
dream along side me,
place your hand in
mine and stroll
through life with me.


I am not sure if it was the warm breeze on a hot summer day, my drift in spirit or the haze that seem to blanket the blue sky that brought to surface my thoughts of you. The years have passed so quickly and as I look back I don't recognize the woman who I was or the person who I have become.  I do know that life is but a garden with many blooms and no two are ever identical.
Like a child's top when given a good push it spins from centrifugal force. So does the many experiences that we encircle, which keep us going around and around. It is when I take a breath and stop that I find my physical being idle, while my mind continues to spin. The tornado like imagines of the mind swirl as they grip everything in its path. There are the memories of yesterday, the emotions of today and the dreams of tomorrow.I am getting dizzy...

From the clouds we dance,
on the shores of life we dream,
when your lips meet with mine,
our hearts will continue to sing.

Time for Love

No time for heartache,
no time for pain, no
time for sorrow or
clouds of gray.

I'm holding on to you
and the summer skies blue,
I'm holding on to you,
with hopes of dreams to
come true.


No time for heartache,
no time for pain, no
time for sorrow or
clouds of gray.


I'm watching the sunrise,
and watching it set from
the rise in the east and
as it sets in the west.

No time for heartache,
no time for pain, no
time for sorrow or
clouds of gray.

I holding you close
and i'll never let go,
as the summer season
will be replaced with
winter snow.

...

Shades of summer,

skies of blue, rainbows

in passing and my love

for you. 

Bright shining stars, 

moonlight from the sky,

dreams that cast both

you and I. 

Flowers blooming, 

fields of hay, a 

season prepares

for another day.

The weight of a tear

The apostles had to be the first great poets of all time. What other book can be said to have survived so many thousands of years and wars and still relates to life and our thoughts today as it did the first day it was written. When discouraged I try to reread various passages. The Corinthian 13 has always been one of my favorites to reread over and over. I could let anger control my actions or pain make my decisions, but I would be no further as the weight of darkness would weigh me down. It is important to keep love in our hearts.

There is no pain in loving,
but sorrow in its absence,
for when the day is filled
with darkness and the
clouds are black and gray
I will embrace my thoughts
of love and rejoice in the
happiness of the day.

~

I hold on to love because

 love is all there is. 

~

Shed in one tear, an ounce of sadness for what may not be,as it rolls down my cheek it picks up memories. Beautifully uncomplicated to
the seriously naive, it washed away the fear and it washed away the sadness but it could never wash away the love I have for you my dear. Steadily turning it makes a gentle curve , leaning towards hope and faith in just one little tear and as I catch it in my heart and hold it so very near, I realize how heavy the weight of just one tear. 

 Corinthians 13

13 If I speak in the tongues^[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. ² If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. ³ If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,^[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.

⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

⁸ Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹ For we know in part and we prophesy in part, ¹⁰ but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. ¹¹ When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. ¹² For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

¹³ And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

The Perfect Combination

I looked to my heart,
I looked to my soul,
I looked to our love
for the words untold. 


The perfect combination,
to tell you I love you
and to script the words 
of happiness and joy for
two. 
  


I looked to my heart,
I looked to my soul,
I looked to our love 
for the words untold. 


~
So many keys, 
one heart to give,
so many dreams 
but one to live.


I gave my heart
away in a dream
the angels made,
in the heavens blue.

So many keys,
one heart to give,
so many dreams
but one to live.

Many tried but failed
to see that love is all
we really need.

So many keys,
one heart to give,
so many dreams
but one to live.

~
Pillow

I have cried upon my pillow,
I laughed and I dreamed,
I whispers sweet words of
love and sometimes I'd sing.

I closed my eyes and I pulled
you so very close to me, to
share my pillow through 
all that life brings. 
~
Don't Go Overlooking

I don't go overlooking
the love you bring,
you touch my heart
and you make it sing.

It was a special moment
when you said hello to
me and changed my life
like winter changes to spring.
~
No Prerequisite

There is no prerequisite for
loving you, all I need for
happiness is to wake up
next to you.

I am satisfied for in my
heart I hold, a friendship
more valuable than the
rarest forms of gold.

I didn't go looking nor
did I expect to find,
a love so wonderful
it blows my mind.

~
Little bit of love,
happiness with you
and I stirred in some
magic to start my
day with you.

Good Night My Love

To the heavens I sing,

to the angels I whisper,
to  the blue bird I request
 that he fly my love to you. 

Under the stars I dance, 

beneath the moon I dream,

for the night has such power,

that I feel like I am there with

you.

Darkness will come, sadness 

will make a play, but I'll remember

forever the love that in my heart

remains. 

Love is with me, with me wherever I

go, it brings a smile to my face and 

gives to my heart a glow. 

To the heavens I sing,

to the angels I whisper

a tune, to  the blue bird I 

request that he fly my

love to you. 

~

Your smile is with me each day,

the warmth of your love in my 

heart remains. The sun will shine

for you and I and we'll find our 

place for all time. 

Your dreams are with me night

and day, like mine they are here

to stay. Cast upon the clouds and 

said an invitation down. 

I look for you all the time, I want to 

hold you and make you mine. Love

you in the most amazing way and

in your arms stay. 

Your smile is with me each day,

the warmth of your love in my

heart remains. The sun will shine

for you and I and we'll find our 

place for all time. 

~

Love like the river flows, 

just like a flower in my

heart your love grows. 

Summer sun still needs 

the rain, like my soul 

needs you each day. 

Love like the river flows,

just as the flower in my

heart your love grows. 

Rainbows from you to me,

light the sky with sweet 

memories. 

Love like the river flows, 

just as the flower in my 

heart your love grows. 

~

Just like the roses
I ramble through 

the day, documenting

memories so they don't 

fade away. 

The stories both old and

new, are written in the 

heavens and are seen

in the blue. 

~

Smiling hearts, 

warm desire, 

seen through

the eyes, set 

soul on fire. 

Summer dreams,

will fade away to 

be replaced by 

and Autumn day. 

~

If I think about a story

with and end, tears swell

in my eyes and there is 

nothing left to be said. 

Life is special and wonderful

indeed, when you find those

perfect arms and you live

the dream. 

~

Roll on ever, 

come on close,

I'll tell you a 

story of the 

Autumn Rose. 

It blooms when 

all else dies, its 

petals of perfection

brings tears to 

my eyes. 

One last look, 

fragrance sweet,

the Autumn rose 

a magic brings. 

It blooms when 

all else dies, its

petals of perfection

bring tears to my

eyes. 

~

Blue

...to my love.

Wind, wind rumbling high,
blow my kiss across the
blue of the sky.

Stars,stars in the night,
a blanket of darkness,
now scattered with lights.

Secrets of a love so true
and the magic that to
the heart infused.

Wind, wind, rumbling high,
blow my kiss across the
blue of the sky.

Stars ,stars in the night,
a blanket of darkness,
now scattered with lights.

Love filled with desire,
from the heavens
passion on fire.

Wind, wind rumbling high,
blow my kiss across the
blue of the sky.

Stars, stars in the night,
a blanket of darkness,
now scattered with lights.

Guide my wishes, direct
my heart, to my love
from a far.

...of yesterday.

As I looked at the video's I realized that no one can take away that which is a part of you. It brings me a certain amount of joy to look at them, to see where I have been, where I am at and where I am going.
I sometimes am sad that time is so quickly passing us by,  yet I am ever grateful for the experience.
From lingerie, to writing, poetry, photography and of course skin care. I have to say well what a journey it is and what characters along the way, "Dorothy in Kansas" had no idea what really existed behind the characters. I remember when I was old enough to watch the wizard oz and realize that the scarecrow, the cowardly lion and the tin man were actually people in her life before the journey. I think I had my own characters that walked me down the yellow brick road.
It might be the weather I am not so anxious to get up and move. Reminiscing ...

I love you more today than yesterday spiral staircase

I love you more today than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow...
What away to celebrate

Let's Fall in Love

You tube took the song that the pictures were put to off and replaced it with this. As I look back at a time that changed my life drastically, I come away with mixed fillings. One thing is that I think well I had this opportunity to live and love in a almost magical paradise. I have learned a good bit in these last ten years. Wow I can't believe it, I have buried family members and friends , created a business, made new friends, lost old friends and in the process found exactly what it means to live and to love.
Sometimes I stand back and I look at my life and I say who is this person? I don't know it definitively was not in plans I had for the future. I sometimes think that it has all been out of my hands and that I am strolling down a road paved by The Almighty God.
As we celebrate the passing of years and the goals that we have accomplished I am in awe. I found a few more videos and well they are part of my yesterday.

Seven

One glance and this is what I see,
a friendship true that is the world
to me.

Two arms can comfort and hold ,
but your love entwines  both our
heart and soul.

Three wishes can make a dream
come true, for all three would
be to spend each day with you.

Four seasons document the time
as we create the memories 
that span beyond the mind.

Five words I repeat each day,
" I love you so much" are the
words my heart replays.

Six seconds and I am there
with you, on the clouds in
the heavens blue.

Seven virtues is what we both
have come to share,the willingness
 to show just how much we care.

Love, respect, passion and peace,
courage and kindness and the joy
 of life is what our friendship brings.

Celebrate the Moment

As I lounge around on an above average warm summer day, I find myself not counting how many apples are in the basket, but how many are free of blemishes. Life is pretty much like apples, you can't get through with a few blemishes. There is no way to rewrite the past and the future comes with its own uncertainty. Therefore I celebrate the moment by loving you.

Fly away butterfly,
tomorrow will come,
the season will pass,
but our our love. 

Memories that never
quite fade are like the
roses in my garden
that bloom each day. 


Fly away butterfly, 
tomorrow will come,
the season will pass,
but not our love. 


Holding tightly, 
I'll never let go, 
for our love is
true and continues
to grow.

Fly away butterfly,
tomorrow will come,
the season will pass,
but not our love.

Your love is in my
heart day after day,
like the dreams of
your kindness that
find their way. 


Fly away butterfly, 
tomorrow will come, 
the season will pass,
but not our love. 


I keep it close as close
as can be , the love that
you give is now a part
of me. 


Fly away butterfly, 
tomorrow will come, 
the season will pass, 
but not our love. 


Your love will remain
for eternity, I knew that
from the start when you
said hello to me. 


Fly away butterfly,
tomorrow will come
the season will pass, 
but not our love. 


We dance on the clouds,
we dream by the stars,
we live and we love
direct from our hearts.

Fly away butterfly,
tomorrow will come,
the season will pass,
but not our love.

~
I can't make oceans from
rivers green, I can't climb
the mountains unless you
are with me.

You're the light in the dark
of night, the warmth and the
love that holds me on the
 coldest of nights. 


I can't stop time from 
fading away, nor can 
I stop the hair when 
it decides to turn gray. 

You are the friendship
that never grows old,
like a treasure filled
with precious gold.

~

When I awake in the morning
and gaze at the sky, the blue
gets bluer as the clouds pass
on by.

The sun shines brighter,
no tears in my eyes,
because I am so grateful
for you and I.

When I awake in the morning
and gaze at the sky, the blue
gets bluer as the clouds pass
on by.
~

I held onto a flotation device,
it was filled with holes and
it didn't stay afloat.

For one minute I gasped for
air, I thought I couldn't live
another day without him
near.

I held onto a flotation device,
it was filled with holes and
it didn't stay afloat.

I started to swim to shore
and on my way, I found
life had more in store.

I held onto a flotation device,
it was filled with holes and
it didn't stay afloat.

It was by chance that you
were passing by, you reached
out your hand and I just
reached back and cried.

I held onto a flotation device,
it was filled with holes and
it didn't stay afloat.

Somethings are a test of life,
and it wasn't till I found your
love that I knew what felt
truly right.

I held onto a flotation device,
it was filled with holes and
it didn't stay afloat.

But you taught me how
to laugh and to smile again,
to reach a little further
and I again began to swim.


~
I do celebrate the moment,
for all its glory the day
can never be replaced, it is
unique to you and I.

~

I shall dream the dreams of lovers,
I will close my eyes and the moment
we will share.

Your arms will hold me tightly and
our hearts will dance as if one.

I shall dream the dreams of lovers,
I will close my eyes and the moment
we will share.

Your kindness is a blanket from the
darkness and your love the warmth
that comforts so.

I shall dream the dreams of lovers,
I will close my eyes and the moment
we will share.

Each day reveals how our 

love grows deeper. 

~

Test are only for what they want you to know, 

but the heart treads in unknown territory. 

Forever Kiss

Our hearts together, our souls now one, 
twisting and turning on the journey 
where we formed a special love. 


 The night sky so wonderful,a mystery now
 solved, like angels in the heavens, we
danced the whole night long. 


Your arms to hold me gently,your smiles
 placed me at ease,the beat of your heart 
had me shaken as I had fallen to my knees.

Yesterday a story tells, today is where our
love dwells. From the moment when I wake
up till I have fallen fast asleep.


Throughout the journey there will always be
you and I, from the moment you took my 
hand the rest was no surprise. 


My heart hungers for more, my soul refrains,
for life with you is eternal even if it sounds a 
bit insane. 


There are bridges out of rainbows, rivers to 
join the sea and on the shores of life there 
is always our daily dreams. 


Like each breath of air that I take in through
my lips, I feel your love each moment in a
forever kiss. 

amore mio

Like the wind as
it awakens the hollow,
your love ignites my
heart setting my soul
afire.

Like the dreams as
they bring you close,
the heavens embrace
our love with a celestial
magic.

~

So Great A Love

I had felt such emptiness,
loneliness and despair and
the void with in my heart
was a pain one need not
share.

I couldn't change the hands
of time, the rivers still kept
a flow and the mountains
a barrier no matter which
way I'd go.

Love is so empowering,
wonderful indeed as
once it touched my heart
it became a part of me.

I became the mountain,
the sand and the sea,
the wind and the sun,
a book of memories.


Listen to the whispers,
the serenade of dreams, 
once they teased the heart,
 now a lovers plea. 


This love is made of magic,
infused with desire and
on the darkest days of my
life the light love of transpired.

I spoke to the Lord, "grateful
am I that I had chanced to
meet with the warmth of love,
from deep down inside." 

4th of July , Independence day

One cannot put restraints upon the heart,

therefore " I love you."

Most people go about the holiday with a variety of festivities to celebrate our Independence. As the fireworks created the display in the night sky, many things ran through my mind. How many lives were lost in the fight for Independence, where brother killed brother. Then I thought what it might be like for those who gave their lives hundreds and hundreds of years ago to see how the United States has developed over the years. Each time a new law is created we lose a little more of our independence. I thought how easy it was for me to lose my personal independence and how difficult it was and is to gain it back. 
There is a comfort zone when you can lean on someone else to make decisions, but that doesn't always mean the decision made is in the best interest of that person or people. When I look around at our Democracy I see that though different than other governments from local up, one thing they have common and that becomes power and that eventually leads to greed. Are people born to be great leaders or are they molded by societal desire to have someone else make the decisions? As a new law is made a freedom is lost, each law represents the desire to control a body of people  by the wishes of those we ourselves empowered. 
Again I think back to all the lives that are lost and wonder if their lives were given in vain, as we give way to a new time and place. Where there is a right there is wrong depending on how you see life. It is not always easy to gain back what you lost, but as I make personal steps to do so I am filled with both a positive and negative sense of well being. The years fade into the backdrop as if  they are no longer of importance for the journey that I now follow. 
The next time we celebrate our countries independence, I hope people remember that freedom does indeed come with a price and that many died so we may live as free people. Each morning we wake up and we have choices before us in what we will do for the day. Celebrate each day like the gift that it is. 




Picnics and parties, 
campfires and dreams,
to celebrate a history,
that allows freedom to
 ring. 


Wake up each morning, 
and feel the magic of the
day and give thanks for
all that comes our way. 


Hold on to the values,
that our forefathers 
put in place and in 
your heart may only
goodness remain. 

Sweet Kisses Good Morning

I woke up singing the song " that's all". When I was on you tube trying to find it, I was amazed at how far back that song went and how many people sang it. If I was dreaming before I woke up I have no clue or memory "I can only give you love that last forever." I look back at my life as if it were in CinemaScope. An on going movie with an obvious beginning and end none of us will avoid. Sings " and the promise to be near each time you call" " I can only give you county walks in spring time and the hand to hold when leaves begin to fall." I always wonder did we make these choices or did destiny? My sister emailed me, all it said was " life sucks and then you die." That is what makes writing so powerful, long after we are gone the words will circulate, the poems with hang in homes and they will in some magical way extend our physical life upon this plain.
There is definitively a difference between what we want, need and reality. When I spanned the years, the chapters began to merge into one story.  No longer could I take segments out of context. Each measure of time is a stepping stone. I must say some of the lessons were long and tedious and I felt like a slow learner. "Don't let your emotions control you, think with your heart act with your mind."
When two souls merge there is common factor and it's built on our virtues. It is liking filling in the missing pieces of life.

The foundation of compassion and care,
with walls of trust to hold strong with out
need for repair. All of the c's confidence ,
courage and charm and a bit of determination
to be in your arms.

Gentle , warm and kind, honesty that I am yours 
and you are mine. I deals of what is love and
sharing it one to one.

~
The reality of what is ,
I love you and love you
I do. That is the reality
that I love you true.

~
It takes a little patience,
but if you wait you'll see
our love will persevere
beyond any dream. 


You can rely on that
which I say is true, 
for our love is made
of forever dust and 
forever I love you. 
~
If this journey has a purpose
than I'll declare it true, the
ups and downs of life were
eased when I met up with
you.
~
I am ever grateful and I know it all
to be true, that from that first hello
the sky turned sky light blue. 


~
Trust

I placed my trust in you
and you placed your trust
in me and from that moment
our friendship formed that
was complete.

~
To be understood is the gift of unity,
the merging of minds, the bonding
of souls, the entwining of hearts.

That's all - Michael Bublé version

I can only give you love that last forever and the promise to be near each time you call...

Let's Do It

The blanket of rose pink and green,
placed over the grass for the day, as
you and I watch as time passes away.

Summer time lilies blooming and frogs
in chorus sing as you and I watch as
time passes away.

I packed a lunch for you and I to share
and to that I added a kiss to tell you
how much I care, as you and I 
watch as time passes away. 


The water like crystal so still and 
clear reflects of the love that brought
you and I here, as you and I watch
as time passes away. 


~
Holds you in my arms ,
my fingers through your hair,
leans down and gives a kiss
to you my heart I share. 


Looks into your eyes as you
gaze on back and there our
souls again unite with that
special knack.


Tears of happiness as I 
close my eyes to feel 
the beating of our hearts
that broke down the 
shield. 


I believe in love, I believe
in you, I believe in dreams 
as dreams do come true. 


I believe in love, I believe 
in you, I believe in dreams,
as dreams do come true. 

Poetry From One Soul To Another

Our world within a world

Going about my daily routine, the sky a simple blue and as I gaze beyond the clouds I drift to the world created for two. Peaceful and enchanting, wondrous indeed, filled with warmth and love runs through the heart like a mountain stream. Magical the dream that places me in your arms, comforts my very soul and brings us heart to heart. Bridges  arched of rainbows, seas absorbed by the grains of sand in a world of passion, truth and love that you and I  together command.

Frightening is the unknown 

it blankets with darkness 

and fear and in the shadows

a glimpse of your heart to

my heart shared. 

It gave to me a dream and

the power of love to conquer

the loneliness with the energy

that made us one. 

I saw it in your eyes, I felt it

in your hand and when the day

was over I knew God had 

a plan. 

He sent you in my direction,

he graced me with your smile

and on this treacherous journey

he closed the gap in the miles. 

The whispers were of happiness,

and from your lips to mine a kiss

sweeter than the purest of honey

infused like a powerful brine. 

Embraces the night, wipes away

the tears and when the morning 

comes to light your love is again

there to share.

The Rise of The Moon

The rise of the moon full and bright,
shines down from the heavens for
you and I.

Distance can't separate what the
heart unites, as we are one in
in love you and I.

The rise of the moon full and bright,
shines down from the heavens for
you and I.

Close your eyes darling and you'll
feel me near as I hold you my
love and my life I share.

The rise of the moon full and bright,
shines down from the heavens for
you and I.

The stars twinkle and star dust falls
as we embrace heart, soul and all.

~

The only thing I want the full moon 

to bring around is your love. 

~

I have learned many things and the variables in life explore many lessons and that is what taught me to recognize 

the truth of love and friendship. 

WHEN I NEED YOU with lyrics

Somtimes I find that I need to lean on the words of others.. when I need you, I just close my eyes and I am with you. I need you, I love you and I ....

With Every Beat of My Heart

As my daughter states the argument to get her drivers license the conversation turns to responsibility, control and balance. I tried to make her understand that to live in harmony one must learn to balance life. I said " there is a time for work, chores and learning and a time for fun, relaxation and pleasure and the secret to life is balancing it. "That my dear is being responsible." We are given all that we will ever need and it is up to us to avoid greed and draw on our inner strength. That all went over her head and she turned to me and said" I'll just get my drivers license when I am eighteen"
 It is not like I expected her to completely get it. There are adults who spend their life not understanding the balance necessary between work and personal life. 

I am one to talk, I have found myself many times over absorbed in a situation that I failed to create boundaries. The more I think about it was more about comfort than goals. Change is not always so easy to adapt to. The steps which may seem relatively unimportant to most people have been major developments in a rather common stage of events. I can feel the ache under my eyes has I try hold back the tears that swell. I see it as a measure of success, as I sold to total strangers with ease. I stepped back to look at this so called journey that amazingly took me on a path that was unfamiliar at first. Pondering and a tat bit philosophical I found myself sorting through the ordinary , my own beliefs and the mystic power of the world around me.  It was as if I kept trying to review a moment in time and make sense of it. Like placing pieces into a puzzle to get a full visual effect. One thing is certain no matter how clear a situation seems, the reality and the dreams must interlock. 

Reminds me of my friend Nancy she said " when God closes a door he opens a window" I have seen many a windows in the mountain, a few I didn't want to look through and others I didn't want to close, but then there was those windows that remained wide open as if they were summoning. Curiosity can't stop you from looking through and you find yourself one with the world on the other side of the window. 

I have never been more 

grateful than the day 

you reached you reached 

for my hand. 

~

I love you with every

 beat of my heart.

Happy

Sings > When to laugh or
to cry and wipe a tear from
your eye that is love.

When to talk or to listen
and let the hills sing that
is love.

When to share or to care
and let the world know
that is love.

When to push or to pull
and simply hold that
is love.

I use to think that everything that happens was so because of the choices we had made. But as time goes by It feels more like a plan of destiny. We are destined to journey a path that was indeed paved by fate. It's finding joy in the moment, appreciating it for what it is and realizing that no matter what the road leads somewhere, even if it is a road we already traveled.
My son's been traveling to NY each week and spending each Saturday at the farmers market with me. In our conversations we touch down on many topics.  Goals, expectations and the why of where we are at this moment. Somehow it circled around to happiness, I said" I said happiness is not something that another person can give you nor is it something that comes with a purchase" He responded with " I know" Again I said" happiness is a way of thinking "
As I looked back at the road with so many hills to climb, I thought of how I released control of my happiness to the fate of others. I had to take back the reigns of my inner being and accept the reality of my happiness. There is where choice surfaces, slides feet close
 together and stands tall.

I am happy for this moment we share,
the time you take to care, the love
that is here. I am happy to hold your
hand.

I am happy when I open my eyes and
I see you there and know that we dared,
to make our dreams come true.

..to say I love you.

Rainbows on a clear day,
snowflakes in summer time,
rivers rolling backwards and
dreams where you are mine.

Autumn leaves in spring lay,
the seasons now have their way,
passages of the here and now a
few from yesterday.

Rainbows on a clear day,
snowflakes in summer time,
rivers rolling backwards and
dreams where you are mine.


~
The silence now speaks to me,
with song of heart it whispers 
of memories. 


Holding hand and kisses sweet,
it reminds when you were
here with me.
~
I find myself thinking of days of
long ago and than like a rubber
band I snap back to the moment
you said hello.





Time keeps on passing by,
can't stop it though I have
tried.

Missing something that is
true, I am missing you.

Time keeps on passing by,
can't stop it though I have
tried.

Dreams and memories help
to bring you to me.

Time keeps on passing by,
can't stop it though I have
tried.

One foot in yesterday another
here dancing time away.

Time keeps on passing by,
can't stop it though I have
tried.

Chose the time to share,
when you are here with me.

Time keeps on passing by,
can't stop it though I have
tried.

Sunshine warm and skies of
blue and freeze that moment
when I am with you.

Time keeps on passing by,
can't stop it though I have
tried.




I'd rather see the stars in your eyes,
than alone gazing at the dark of night.
I'd rather be there loving you than
here wondering what next to do.

I'd rather be there in your arms,
than sitting here with a broken heart.
I'd rather share a lemonade or two,
than being alone here without you.

Summer day silliness,
the ducks hatching,
the dogs are barking
and the cat is meowing.

The weather is kind,
no storms does it send
and so I sit here thinking
what's next around the bend.
~
I'm sending kisses, 
my kisses to you,
one for each day, 
to say I love you. 


I'm sending my dreams,
my dreams to you, 
to hold you tight, 
to say I love you. 


I'm sending blue skies,
my blue skies for you, 
images of the heart,
to say I love you. 


I'm sending a rainbow,
the rainbow of love, 
to bridge our hearts,
to say I love you. 


I'm sending memories,
my memories sweet, 
to remind you darling
how much I love you.
