or I would wish for....

I was told once that you are never to old to dream or to wish upon a star. I always believed that everything happens for a reason and from everything comes a lesson. " When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are..." Well and I am quickly pulled back to earth, when I am reminded by another old adage" be careful what you wish for" There was a movie on, it was a spin on the child story of the three wishes. I would wish for peace and contentment, with a dash of love and happiness.

January 3rd

I can't believe we are three days into January. In the heart of winter, we are dealing with a bout of temperatures in the teens, high winds and snow. There are very few days where the sun seems to penetrate the darkened clouds and yet we know this to shall pass.
Last night as my son and I were heading into town on the ice covered roads, he lost control of the vehicle. Immediately you become aware of your vulnerability to the climate as well time. As if in slow motion and not the car spun around and started sliding backwards down the hill. I stiffened up as if I could brace for the final slide into the snow covered  embankment. To far to turn back we continued to the store an was quickly relieved at the sight of the salt trucks coming up the hill in the opposite lane. Everything is time and place, a few seconds sooner and we would have slid into the car in front of us, a little later and we might have collided with the salt truck. Today as the  snow and wind brought more of the winter wonderland down around us, I chose to stay home hidden under the blankets. It is times like this that we become more aware of what we have and what we can lose. I imagine that it is my mind working overtime that has me scanning the past and wondering what tomorrow will bring.
The year despite draw backs was a very good year. I can sense the comfort that exist between me and the people I meet through work.  I thought to myself it is not as important how much I sold as it was a level of trust that exist between the customer and I. Not that they were coming back each time to purchase but the relationships that is built between two people in away that spouts a true achievement. This is my reward as I bumped into a woman who is very excited about my products. Yes, I have a sense of pride, something that I make has reached a certain level of acceptance with people inside and out of my community.
On a personal level I feel an emptiness, one I cannot completely explain. But it leaves a chill as if I am somehow still trapped in a web spun by the many people in my life. Partly it is the hurdles that I have to challenge and the barriers that keep popping up in front of me.
There is so much to see and do that I can't help wonder if we are ever comfortable when our time on earth is ended. I thought back many years ago, when I was in the ICU. If a person could be ready I was ready. I remember not having any fight in me and yet time has once again proven that we go when its our time and no sooner.

The snow is falling
winter is indeed here,
the only sunshine is
when I dream you near.

Cold and windy ,
a blustery day,
a chill to my heart,
won't go away.

Every Star in the Sky

Count the many grains of sand along the shore
and the endless stars upon the heavens floor
and then you'll know how very much you mean
to me, for my eternal love of you is filled with
boundless dreams.

Listen to the song of the meadow lark in spring,
and the whispers of angels as they meet up to sing.
The music written by the soul is played on
heavens harp, from the moment you took my\
hand and my heart.

~

That which makes us different,

also makes us the same. 

~

Sweet kisses good night!

~

The magic of love is how at a distance it warms my being. 

~

...for the rest of my life.

Memories are the gifts that no one can take away, 

 endless laughter and dreams to review another day. 

~

When I need you, to hold you tight,
when I want you in my arms at night.
I close my eyes and I  envision you here
 and just like magic you reappear.

When I need to feel your lips ,
when I want that sweet kiss.
I close my eyes and i envision you here
and just like magic you reappear.

~
My arms are open ,
my heart awaits your smile,
my dreams were all but broken
until your love came around.

~
One poem a day
for the rest of my life,
one set of words,
to describe my plight.

To hold you in my arms,
to kiss you from a far,
and make all our
dreams come true.

One poem a day
for the rest of my life,
one set of words,
to describe my plight,

To live the moment,
like never before,
to embrace what
life has in store.

One poem a day
for the rest of my life,
one set of words,
to describe my plight.

To feel you by my side,
in the morning and the night,
to let you know I love you so,
and that I could never let you go.

One poem a day
for the rest of my life,
one set of words
to describe my plight.
~
Like the city streets mapped in my mind,
your love is in my heart for all time.
Right or left, around and around we go,
but they always lead to you my love,
its how our love grows.

Like the river that flows to the sea,
your love can be felt in every breeze.
It touches my heart, it soars with my soul,
the love we share has a life long hold.

 The child in me runs and tries to hide,
jumping from cloud to cloud lost inside.
The tears are falling, not sure what it means,
even though they clear the way for a new dream.

Like the city streets mapped in my mind
your love is in my heart for all time.
It doesn't matter the path we take,
for I love you darling, asleep or awake.

Memories are the gifts that no one can take away, 

 endless laughter and dreams to review another day.

Blink in Time

Our purpose in life is to share in love, 

to live in love, to be in love...

~
I can tell you darling, this much I know,
 in your arms the passion and love grows.

Living in my dreams,wishing you here,
sharing the moment,whispering how much
I care.
~
May the sun remind you of the warmth from inside,
when  two hearts and souls bonded for all of time.
Listen to the wind, a song of love it sings, the
words unimportant whats matters is what you believe.

Dream the dream of lovers, hold me so tight and
don't you let me go as I'll be with you day and night.
To kiss away any darkness or weary signs of gray
and give to you my everlasting  love day after day.

May the sun remind you of the warmth from inside,
when two hearts and souls bonded for all of time.
Listen to the wind, a song of love it sings, the
words unimportant, what matters is what you believe.

~

It wasn't magic, no the angels didn't sing, song birds at my window were not a dream. The darkness comes early as winter is here and I wonder what the future has to share. Lonely was I, wishing you were here, gazing out the window , I fell into a stare. My heart a million miles away as I was caught up in a dream and the images of love that wouldn't fade. I began drifting like ship at sea, consumed by your love and memory.

Blink in Time

Time keeps moving on,each moment here and then gone,
like a brush against the wind,blowing dreams from within.

Memories are made and retained in the heart for another
 day. To comfort when I am blue, I just think of you.

~
I can tell you darling, this much I know,
 in your arms the passion and love grows.

Living in my dreams,wishing you here,
