Promises of the Heart

Once I saw the beauty of a rose, 
the fragrance faded, the petals 
fell and the stem shriveled.


Then I saw the beauty of your love,
forever sweet, always growing, 
and providing the most beautiful
of blooms. 




I wasn't expecting, 

nor did I hope to 

find a love so 

warm and wonderful, 

one so truly divine. 

I asked the Lord for 

nothing, I left with him

no prayer, but it was 

obvious that the Lord

sent someone to care.

I didn't wish upon a star,
nor did I make a plea,
but it was obvious  by that
first hello how much
you'd mean to me. 

 I asked the Lord for 

nothing, I left with him

no prayer, but it was 

obvious that the Lord

sent someone to care.

Everyday a tear falls 

and you wipe each one 

a way and give to me the 

laughter that in my 

heart stays. 

~

Forever will there be a place
 here within my heart, from
the day you took my hand
 you ignited it with a spark. 


Like fire that blazes uncontrollably your love 
spread from heart to soul and so I leave this
promise not to break this magic hold. 


Windows will open,doors may someday close,
 but for you the door remains unlocked and in
my heart you go.


From my heart a promise that the galaxy
we'll rule and we'll live on forever beyond
this earthly hold. 

I gazed unto the heavens,

I looked beyond the stars

and in the dark of night,

I felt your love take a hold.

 

Like a child I feared the darkness,
I asked that I never be alone and
the heavens lit the darkness  and
your love assured me with it's
embrace, that no matter the distance
of time and place, with love in our
hearts the barriers will fade.

Sometimes I see the end,

but you always give to me a beginning. 

With the reassurance of your love,
there are no mountains, no rivers,
no stars between us. 

My heart sings, 

my soul dances 

and my love for 

you entwines you 
and I in a forever
 embrace.
