Since now your gone, you're Home Sweet Home,
   your body's laid to rest;
I see the truth more clearly now,
   God only takes the best!

You made your mark before you left,
   you changed so many lives;
Just showing us what real love is,
   not living life a lie.

A smile each day, my hand in yours,
   big hugs when times got tough;
The simple truth, 'til I met you,
   I'd never known true love.

Now as our time has come and gone,
   I'll kept your memory safe;
In spot that ONLY you could fill,
   my heart, your sacred place.

My eyes behold a masterpiece, 
   each time I see your face;
My mind goes numb, with thoughts of you,
    my heart picks up its pace.

So beautiful you are to me,
   quite gorgeous out and in;
Since every time you cross my mind,
   I fall for you again.

Magnificient and magical, 
   an angel you must be;
You're Heaven sent by God Himself,
   a gift from Him to me!

So when you think some other way,
   or feel a twinge of doubt;
Remember this, my angel eyes,
   your beauty screams out loud.

You're beautiful, magnificient,
   more like a masterpiece;
A perfect blend of gorgeous face
   and precious inner peace.

I wish I may, I wish I might,
   I wish upon a star;
To let you know just what you mean,
    and everything you are.

You're more than just the sweetest kind,
   yes, more than any dream;
You're far beyond a ******* earth,
   more angel now you seem!

I cant explain this love I feel,
   I've  never seen before;
A passion burns within my heart,
   to love you more and more!

So beautiful both in and out,
   a Godsend you must be;
A masterpiece made by My God,
   sent down to earth for me!

You may not know just all you are,
   or what you really mean;
But simply put, I'm happy now,
   not only in my dreams.

You've changed my life, all for the good,
   you've opened eyes once blind;
Since mending now this broken heart,
   and breaking all the binds.

Oh sure we'll face hard times along,
   we'll stumble on the way;
But never once we'll be alone,
   together day by day.

So keep your head up pressing on,
   we'll fight our way on through;
There's not one thing we can't defeat,
   since now it's me and you!

It's this time of year again,
   that we thank Our God above;
For that special one He sent,
   for to share a mother's love!

It's  a love above all else,
   you will see if just you'll pause;
That she gave more than all,
   and looked over all your flaws!

She'll wrap you up in loving arms,
   hold you closer day by day;
Walk beside you hand in hand,
   show she's there, and there to stay!

So treat your mom with all respect,
   for she's loved you since your birth;
She's the only mom you'll have,
   for your time upon this earth!

So dear mom, I love you so,
   and I pray from this day on;
That you'll feel my love for you,
   know I'm blessed to call you "Mom"!

Good morning to you beautiful
How was your sleep last night?
You've started off my day so good
Just being by my side!
As I lay right here and think about
The special times we've had
I thank you for the love you've shared
In good times and in bad!
My heart had always skipped a beat
Each time I see your face
With that first word you spoke to me
My heart had known it's place!
Although I may not show enough
Or often times it seems
I may not hold you high enough
As the woman of my dreams.
You make me happy everyday
Just with your special love
You've shown me oft that I'm the man
You're always dreaming of!
You fill my life with so much joy
And show me everyday
That My God made you just for me
In each and every way!
I feel these words can't show you just
How much I love you dear,
So let me hold you in my arms
And whisper in your ear-
"You're my queen of hearts, my gorgeous love,
The twinkle in my stars,
You're my one and only ******* earth,
My ALL is what you are!"

I pray My God in Heaven,
  please be with me here today;
Please protect me, guide and keep me,
   as life's storms now come my way!

Please be with me till they pass me,
   when the thunder sounds no more;
Or just take me home to Heaven,
   let me walk that golden shore!

When the darkness often tempts me,
   to at times just hide my face;
As life's storms so fierce around me,
   rest in God, My Hiding Place!

For I feel My God is with me,
   as I go to him in prayer;
He has always be my anchor,
   when I need Him, He is there!

Yes, He's silenced Satan's whispers...
   "there's no hope in life at all";
'Cause My Lord himself has caught me,
   any time before I fall!

Now I'm sure that God is with me,
   and tomorrow sun WILL rise;
For I know He holds my future,
   just beyond those stormy skies!

I pray My God in Heaven,

For He knows our every battle,
  every little thing we do;
He is always watching 'ore us,
  and He'll always see us through!

Yes, we've all seen troubled waters,
  had our lives rocked to and fro;
Know we've got Him as Our Captain,
  and He's always in control!

As the lightning strikes around us
  and the thunder's deafening roar;
He will guide us through our troubles,
  so we'll reach the other shore!

Oh there's times we'll be so fearful,
  not a hope on which to stand;
Then He'll keep and show us comfort,
  in the hollow of His Hand!

Yes there's days our faith will falter,
  you can doubt Him if you dare;
Yet He'll always be Our Anchor,
When we need Him, He is there!

Now you see when trials gather,
  trust in Him for all your days;
Know My Lord will comfort give you,
  and He'll calm those angry waves!

I love you girl, I know that now,
   you've won my heart indeed;
You make me smile when other's can't,
    you mean this much to me...

You're wild fire that burns inside,
   to set my heart ablaze;
A sunbeams ray that sheds pure light,
   on each my darkest days.

You're buttercups and daffodils,
    the color in my life;
A *** of gold at rainbows end,
   my comfort after strife.

You're fresh cut grass caught in the wind,
    a breathe of springtime breeze;
The a' la mode' that tops me off,
   to make my life complete.

So when you feel you're not enough,
   I hope with this you'll see;
You're all of this and so much more,
    you're EVERYTHING to me!

There's times in life I feel I'll break;
   a pain I cannot stand.
It's in those times I often hide
   in Hollow of His Hand!

He helps me through the toughest times;
    those times I feel are hard.
It's in these times He lends a hand-
   a hand so worn and scarred!

With gentle hand He leads and guides
   me through life's weary way.
He'll be there to protect me,
   when times I go astray!

My Father's Hands are mighty hands;
   His touch can calm the seas!
My Lord can do just anything
   with greatest sense of ease!

With healing Hands He healed the sick,
   He made the lepers well,
And anytime He spoke the word,
   not once did ever fail!

My Father's Hands are nail-pierced Hands-
   a sign of sacrifice;
He bore our load upon that cross,
   our sins is why He died!

Now one day soon I'm going Home-
   to Home in Beaulah Land;
To see My Jesus face to face,
   to touch His nail-scarred Hands!

I'd like to take a moment now,
   to tell you about my girl;
She's really one of very few,
   that's ever walked this world!

She's lightnin' bolt that's struck on land,
   true fighter when she's mad;
Yet moment that her smile breaks through,
   best love one man could have!

She's drops of rain sent from the sky,
   to quench the summers heat;
The puzzle piece I'd thought I lost,
   to make my life complete!

She's springtime breeze at winter's end,
   a splashing wave on shore;
The brightest star to shine at night,
   no soul could love me more!

She's dogwood trees and buttercups,
    the sun at showers end;
The bird that sings a pretty tune,
   true beauty out and in!

She's all of this and so much more,
   she's everything to me;
If ever once you doubt these words...
   look through my eyes, you'll see!

There's somethin' 'bout this girl I love,
   she's more than right for me;
A bit of crazy mixed with love,
   but fills my every need!

She's full of fire, don't make her mad,
   o sure, she's always right;
But that's my girl, the only one,
   near perfect in my sight!

You see, my girl is so **** cute,
   an angel in my eyes;
She's Heaven sent straight from My God,
    to match my every stride!

A friend to most, a queen to me;
   she shows me that she cares;
When every day she makes me smile,
   with love you'll naught compare.

She's so much more than just my world,
   she's more than just a lady;
My Father formed her just for me...
   my perfect kind of crazy!!

Just how well do you know My God?
   He's the Ruler of everything,
He's Almighty and Omnipotent;
   My Jesus Lord and King!

He made the earth with spoken word,
   all just in seven days;
He formed the moon; each star in space,
   He set a certain way!

Not long from then, My Jesus came,
   as a little Baby Boy;
He came to earth to show us how,
   to live for Him with joy!

Here on this earth, He marveled us;
   as displaying God's Own power,
He taught us how to love and give,
   to pray near every hour!

He took five fish, and broke five loaves,
   then thousands did He feed;
He showed His men what true faith was,
   by walking on the sea!

So many had doubt when Moses said,
   "My God will make a way!"
God parted the sea, they walked right through,
   then Pharaoh's men He slayed!

He healed the sick, made blind men see,
   with touch of His dear hand;
He led the Jews through wilderness,
   on to the promised land!

He died for us on Calvary,
   our sins became His pain;
He washed away each one for us,
   then later rose again!

I hope you'll see how special He is,
   My Lord, My King, My God;
He touched the lives of millions here,
   on earth and far abroad!

I'd like to say a few quick words,
   what's really on my mind;
I feel almost upset right now,
   it's me you left behind!

I know it was your time to go,
   my Jesus called you Home;
But still I feel so crushed inside,
   without you and alone!

I've tried so hard to just move on,
    but nothing feels just right;
Your in my thoughts and prayers each day,
    as well as dreams at night!

I think back through the years gone by,
   and all our memories made;
To make it through another year,
   no, more like day to day!

I see you still at times I think,
    then realize I'm a fool;
I know it's just a trick of mind,
   but still it seems so cruel!

I guess right now you know how bad,
   my missin' you has been;
I'd give up every thing in life,
   to hold you once again!

So when I lost you here with me,
    there's one sure thing I know;
That Heaven gained a precious gem,
    when Heaven gained your soul!

A mother's love is not just love,
   it's more than that you see;
It's closer to agape love,
   my mother's love to me.

She never failed to wrap me up,
   when ere I felt some pain;
To make the bad turn into good,
   her hugs were all the same.

She picked me up those times I fell,
   brushed off that dirt of life;
She stood by me no matter what,
   for me she'd stand and fight.

I'll always be her baby boy,
   from birth all through my years;
My friend, my hero, queen of hearts,
   my mother oh so dear!

Have you ever thought about
  what your mother's love is worth?
It's the closest thing to Heaven
  any man can feel on earth!

It's so meaningful and true
  as she holds you in her arms.
She'll protect and keep you safe
  from this life and all it's harms!

She'll stand right by your side
  no matter what you've done.
She'll be the one to hold you up
  when your so called friends are gone!

Yes she brought you here to earth
  and you'll find she'll take you out;
If at one time in your life
  her precious love you ever doubt

For no matter what the time,
  when my running now is done;
Mom'll wrap me in her arms
  saying "Welcome home my son!"

So listen as I tell you now;
  you will never find another,
Heart thats filled so full of love,
  as the heart of my mother!

What would life be without you here,
   I never want to know;
To spend one day all by myself,
   much lower than just low!

To never feel your touch again
   so much more than just cruel;
To hear you say your last goodbye,
   to think I'd been a fool!

So now I take the time each day,
   to thank my Lord above;
For giving me my every dream,
   all packaged in your love!

You see you fill my heart so full,
   you set my mind at ease;
This love we share together now,
   the purest of all peace!

So never think I don't love you,
   Your more than just my girl;
I finally found my one true love,
   my ONE in this whole world!!

I'm not the best dad known to man
I don't have money or fame
I definitely don't have super strength
I stagger from life's pain!
I haven't been just where I should
Beside you everyday
I haven't followed My Lord's design
In life or any way!
I haven't lived a life to brag
Or be so proud about
Yet one things known that when I love
It's love you'll never doubt!
So as you read these words right now
As written from my heart
Just know I'm in Gods fold again,
I've got a brand new start!
Now as I live each day for Him
I'll show you love you've  missed
I'll tell you what you are to me
Let's start with this small list -
You're my princess and my angel
My precious shooting star
My gorgeous gem, the brightest pearl,
My ALL is what you are!

All through the years I ran from God,
  I lived my life my way;
As family friends and loved ones prayed,
   I'd turn to God one day!

He watched 'ore me as hard I ran,
   He kept me safe and sound;
Just as I ran the other way,
   He turned my life around!

This one lost sheep had went astray,
   My Shepherd brought me in;
Back safe into His Fold again,
   He rescued me from sin!

My God reached down in darkest depths,
He plucked from Satan's bind,
New life he gave me on the that day
   to follow His design!

Such grace and peace He fills me with,
   my heart doth overflow;
Since I began to walk with Him,
   such joy I came to know!

It's all because He loved and cared,
   He kept me safe from harm;
He gives me now such comfort and
   sweet solace in His arms!

Yes through it all He stood by me,
   He never let me fall-
So far from Him I couldn't hear
   My Shepherd's beckon call!

When I look into your gorgeous face
Your beauty all aglow
I see the love you have for me
You always let it show!
You're such a blessing in my life
A gift from Heaven to earth
You've shown me what true love's about
Just what my heart is worth!
I can't explain just how much love
I have for you my dear
I'll do my best to show you as
I'll hold you through the years!
I've never felt a love like this
A love like yours and mine
It's got to be agape' love
A love that most don't find!
I feel your love so close to me
In each and every way
I hear the love you speak to me
In everything you say!
You are so precious to me dear
A beauty out and in
You've stood by me through all life's race,
A race now we will win!
You'll always be my one true love
From now till very end
My precious jewel, my morning star
My lover and my friend!

I don't have pull with Cupid's bow
Or chocolate covered hearts
No shiny things or fancy rings
To set my love apart!
We may not have the biggest house
Or grandest way to live
Yet not a man alive today
Has this much love to give!
You must believe the words I say
I love you so my dear
I can't afford the finer things
So let me make it clear-
Since actions speak a million words
Each time I hold you tight-
I'm telling you I love you so-
A trillion times each night!
I don't just speak these words I say
And trust you will believe,
I plan to show you everyday
With love you will receive!
I promise you not on this earth
You'll find a love like mine,
So as this day of love comes soon-
Please be my valentine

Though sometimes there's days,
   I feel all alone;
Even with family beside me,
   a house not a home.

I know that I'm loved,
   but still shed a tear;
For to be all alone,
   is life's greatest fear!

Alone is a dark place,
   so dreary and bleek;
It creeps in with fury,
   turns strong men to weak!

When I'm heavy and lonesome,
   my heart so so sad;
I remember Christ My Saviour,
   He helps me feel glad!

I remember He loves me,
   He's been here for me;
Once suffering and lonely,
   but now I'm set free!

My heart now so happy,
   my sadness all gone;
With Christ in my life,
   I sing a new song!

He's shown me forgiveness,
   my sins washed away;
He's filled me with gladness,
   and mercy to stay!

A new day had dawned,
   His grace He has shown;
With Him right beside me,
   I'm never alone!

I pull your body close to me,
   i feel your heartbeat there;
Such passion burns within my *****,
   with naught I'd dare compare!

I wrap you up in loving arms,
   to feel your precious skin;
The way you make my blood run hot,
   my body heaves within.

You see, I know I'm more than blessed,
   to have you here with me;
To hold you once again right now,
   no place I'd rather be!

There's no one now I'd rather hold,
   No soul on earth like you;
Your more a piece of Heaven sent,
   Celestial through and through!

I pull your body close to me,
   i feel your heartbeat there;
Such passion burns within my *****,
   with naught I'd dare compare!

I wrap you up in loving arms,
   to feel your precious skin;
The way you make my blood run hot,
   my body heaves within.

You see, I know I'm more than blessed,
   to have you here with me;
To hold you once again right now,
   no place I'd rather be!

There's no one now I'd rather hold,
   No soul on earth like you;
Your more a piece of Heaven sent down,
   Celestial through and through!

What will your loved one feel just when
Your last day here is done?
Will she know you always loved her
If tomorrow never comes?
Do you often leave her wondering when
Your walking out the door?
Does she really know you loved her or
She's not at all quite sure?
Don't you think she often questions when
She sleeps alone at night?
When the last time that you saw her was
When last you'd had a fight?
Please don't ever take for granted just
How much you love your wife,
Not a one of us are promised any
Moment next in life!
There's so many loved one's out there
Wished they had a bit more time
For to show her that they loved her or
To walk a different line!
Tell her now how much you love her
Hug and hold her very near
Cause there may not be a next time
'Fore your time of death is here!
Show her often she's your woman
Only one your dreaming of
She's your queen among no other
Only heart that you could love!!

I've never known a love like His,
   not one place here on earth;
My God came down from Heavn' above,
   to lowly stable birth.

He walked this land to spread His love,
   fulfilled The Master's plan;
He died for us on Calvary,
   for every  mortal man!

If that's not love, I tell you now,
   the sun is naught but myth;
The ground you walk does not exist,
   there's no such thing as bliss!

If that's not love I'm here to say,
   no sparrow ever flies,
The oceans are but only dreams,
   the living never dies!

So take a look at this once more,
   you'll find God's love so true;
A love this big spans Heavn' to earth,
   for me as well for you!

I tell you now, My God is King;
   the Ruler of all seas;
Almighty and Omnipotent;
   My Lord, The Prince of Peace.

He's with me on the mountaintop,
   or on the valley floor;
He's with me when I'm lost at sea,
   or resting on the shore.

He's seen me through the worst of times,
   He caught me when I fell;
He changed my life with just one touch,
   by breaking devil's spell.

He broke the chains that bound my life,
   thus setting my soul free;
So much more than My Lord and King,
   He's more than life to me!

You've gone on before me
   I'm feeling so down
Though one day in Heaven
   I'll see you around
We'll shout out with singing
   On Heaven's bright shore
With you in my arms
  Together once more!
We'll praise My Dear Saviour
   And look on His face
Together we'll thank Him
   For His love and grace
Our hearts will be mended
    Our sorrows all gone
With you right beside me
    All crying is done.
We'll walk through the Heavens
    On streets of pure gold
We'll have perfect bodies
   To hug and to hold.
We'll sit and just listen
   To Heavenly Band
We'll gather our crowns
   With Jesus we'll stand
We'll cross through that river
   Our mansions we'll see
To hold you forever
   What glory will be!
I now live each day for
   That moment just when
Those trumpets will sound
   And I'll see you again!!

I've got a thing or two to say,
   oh sure, I'm shedding tears;
This life is harder than it was before,
   without you with me here.

Now when the nightfall closes round,
    without you by my side;
The peace I had just holdin you,
   has turned to pain each night.

I know you didn't walk away,
   when Heaven took you Home;
Yet being here without my friend,
   has left me all alone.

So now I'll  let you guide my way,
   with you I'll make it through;
Cause every thought of you I have's...
   one moment spent with you.

There's something 'bout this love of yours
It leaves not one small doubt
It fills me up so full of glee
It makes me want to shout!
This special kind of love you give
So meaningful and true
It makes it so delightful
Just to spend my time with you!
It stands alone all by itself
It's love that stands so strong
You've shown with every word and deed
Each day that goes along!
Oh yes I feel it every hour
I never have to ask
It flows from you so easily
A love to always last!
When times I feel a bit alone
With love you made it clear
You'll never leave my side in life
You ease my every fear!
I thank you for your special love
A love like yours and mine
A love that happens only once
To stand all test of time!
This love you've shown me through my life
I know can only come
From heart that loves me without doubt
From one and only one!!

In the Bible it is written,
   among the "Thees" and "Thows";
Just what I promised you,
   in these our wedding vows.

I promised you forever,
   is how long you'd feel my love;
No matter what the struggle,
   ever come to push or shove.

I promised you I'd stand by you,
   from then 'til Heaven calls;
I'd hold you tight and comfort you,
   to never let you fall.

I promised you I'd hold your hand,
   all through life's weary way;
I'd guide you and protect you,
   grow closer day by day.

I promised to defend you,
   to stand up for my bride;
To make you first within my life,
   and put all else aside.

I promised you I'd be the man,
   My God would have me be;
I'd show you kindness in our life,
   our marriage I would lead.

I promised you I'd comfort you,
   forever keep you safe;
To wrap you up with loving arms,
   my arms your sacred place.

With those few vows I said to you,
   forever was my goal;
And here we are still so in love,
   since 50 years ago!

I hear you calling out my name,
   soft whisper in the wind;
I see you here with me right now,
   with strength I can depend!

I feel your body next to me,
   soft kiss of springtime breeze;
I know the love you have for me,
   it brings me to my knees!

I thank My Lord He sent you here,
   a gift from Heaven above;
I just can't tell you what I've found,
   all packaged in your love!

If Webster was to look into,
   what true love really was;
It's best defined with you and me,
   a photo just of us!

I know My Jesus lets me feel
The feeling of some pain
If never once we felt sun's heat
We'd scoff at cool rain!
It's in those times we've fallen prey
To Devil's evil snare
My God will help us best just when
We turn to Him in prayer!
Such peace My God will fill you with
His love you'll soon admire
His blessing you'll enjoy much more
When tested by His Fire!
For pleasure's naught without some pain
A black sky without stars
Survivor's word is naught without
His branding made from scars!
There'd be no enemies without friends
No prices without costs
There'd be no triumph's without fails
No winners without loss!
As trials come and burdens seem
So broad and often vast
Just build a halo 'round your heart
All made from hurts of past!
So can you see the reason now
My God Himself made pain?
If times like this don't hurt so bad
Then pleasure'd be in vain!

She's gorgeous yet much more than that,
   she's got a precious mind;
A love that spans to ends of earth,
    one words could n'ere define.

She's got it all, bright smile, good looks,
   a heart that draws you in;
Each time I lay my eyes on her,
   I fall in love again.

She's like a wave on ocean sand,
   a breeze of springtime air;
A flowing river through the trees,
   true peace you'll not compare.

She's perfect not for everyone,
   But give it time, you'll see;
A fit that only God could make,
   she's perfect just for me!

My Lord and God I come to you,
   I'm down on bended knee;
To thank you for this girl you made
   formed perfectly for me.

You took Your time with me in mind,
   to make her oh so right;
A masterpiece of earthly love,
   pure gorgeous in my sight.

No soul on earth could love me more,
   no question I'm her man;
A precious gift You sent to me,
   perfection by Your Hands.

She may not be what others think,
   the perfect girl would be;
But thanks to You she's more than just
   a perfect fit for me!

I often sit and think about,
   the way things used to be;
And I'd NEVER trade one second
   of our time, just You and Me!

Still I think 'bout those times I prayed,
   just to ask my Lord above;
If He'd really just forgotten'
    That He'd not made my true love!

He had granted many others,
   not to fill my one request;
Did in love He pass me over,
   or's He giving me a test?

Well, He answered rather different,
   than I pictured it would be;
'Twas no big bright light from Heaven,
   and the Angels didn't sing!

Still I knew it in an instant,
   'cause it wasn't hard to tell;
He had MORE than formed perfection,
   when your beauty I beheld!

Now I know what REALLY happened,
   God had taken extra time;
When He made your perfect body,
   'cause He had ME on His mind!

I've made bad choices in my life,
   I've caused a lot of hurt;
I've been as low as one could be,
   were living seemed absurd!

I've found the point of no return,
   where dying would bring peace,
But chose to find my way back up,
   by starting from my knees!

I gave my will, my all to Him,
   He showed me nail scarred hands;
To let me know He'd paid the price,
   to show He had a plan.

Now as I fight each day and night,
   to find my way back up;
I see my future brighter now,
    not leaving it to luck!

I see He placed me where I'm at,
    and let me feel that pain;
To make me stronger than before,
   to help my life to change.
