special way









Fate, chance, choice and circumstances in the chapters of life. With the new year approaching it finds me reviewing the chapters of life. It took me to a book I had read, one given to me by   a  friend " Conversation with God." The book in a quick summary defines life as a "journey of experience." Whether that experience is positive or negative, there is something to learn from it. Few chapters fall under the label of difficult and I wish at times I could erase them. But let's be honest if the chapters had never come to light I would have never met you.
I can't imagine my life without you or nor would I want to. Sometimes I think I am a bit emotional but as my children move on in their lives I find another chapter writing itself. It is easy for people to walk away, make a game of life, that can be quite painful. Like all of the poems I write this one is also dedicated to you. The man who holds my hand through all that life has to offer. Wipes tears and reaches for your hand. I couldn't imagine the pain my heart would feel, if I could not hold your hand. Surely my heart would stand still and my days would darken and the sun would fade away. It is you my angel that has brought love my way. In my heart I hold you like I did that first day, filled with joy and laughter.

The errors of life
have led me your way,
as I recognized the magic
that appeared that day.

It is not about loneliness
or the hole in my heart
but the uniting of two souls
that cannot be torn apart.

The more I have of you,
the more I want of you,
to share with you in this
this special kind of love.



`




I Say A Little Prayer - Aretha Franklin (Lyrics)



 Day or night
 any season will do,
 to hold your hand and
whisper I love you.

I'll take to the clouds
 to share in a dance,
close, close and closer
 it must be God's plan.

 Embrace of souls,
no barriers exist
for you are with me
I could almost feel your kiss.

AL DI LA by Emilio Pericoli May I have this dance?









Al di la means you are far above me, very far

Al di la, as distant as the lovely evening star


Where you walk flowers bloom


When you smile all the gloom turns to sunshine


And my heart opens wide


When you're gone it fades inside and seems to have died




Al di la, I wondered as I drifted where you were


Al di la, the fog around me lifted, there you were


In the kiss that I gave was the love I had saved for a lifetime


Then I knew all of you was completely mine.

Sunshine

                                           My sunshine on a rather gray day.              


                                                           Your presence was permanent
                                                           the day you entered my heart.                                  
~


Tears of emotion reveal what I already knew
that there is no greater love.

~

                                             I think the Lord shows up what's wrong first,
                          so we can recognize what's right when we are presented with it.    
~



Whispers to soar the mountains...
                                             
~



                                                May the words placed upon the page
                                         allow our souls to live beyond an ordinary day.







It is not a trap
I'm not out at sea,
here in the moment
just you and me.

I felt the magic
a soul set free,
to soar the heavens
in what seems a daydream.

Peace the blanket
passion the fire,
warming my heart
with each passing hour.

Mario Biondi & Duke Orkestra Live - "Close to You"



They Long to Be) Close to You


Ah
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create
A dream come true
So, they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight
In your eyes of blue
That is why all the boys in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
