I closed my eyes for just a blink,
But these brown eyes sure made me think
Of wonderful things I saw behind the shades,
Unknown to the people around or in the parades.
The eyes beheld a beautiful sight.
A man whose heart wasn't fixed just right.
I knew right then, whoever he was, I was destined to.
It's like my mind took a snapshot of you.
It definitely knew you before I even took a step.
The letter was written for us before we even met.
It's like you and I were destined to be
seen by each other.
This radiant match was meant before we stepped from undercover.
To know that your heart needed healing by just seeing with closed eyes.
Maybe it was just the reflection of what was wrong with mine.
Either way, it goes to show
someone out there knows more than we know.
Still, as I close these brown eyes for a blink or to sleep,
baby, it's you I see, and now that's never a blink.
I close my eyes tighter when you're not near.
I feel your presence from behind these shades; have no fear.
Baby, I plan on seeing you forever and many more years.

If I had a star to place in the sky every time you crossed my mind,
There would be enough to light up an entire galaxy.
Baby, you mean the absolute world to me,
A treasure that was hidden I’d never even thought to find.
I’m so glad we fell into one another’s lives.
All these years passed between us two,
Never could I have imagined I could be with you.
I will always be there for you; I’ll do my best to be what I can, I will strive.
I’ll always be a hand to grab hold of when you feel you’re falling down.
I promise I’ll always be there for you if you need the sweetest, tightest hugs.
I’ll never let anyone shove our love under any rugs.
Baby, I’ll always promise to turn around any of your frowns.
Just know you will always and forever be a constant in my mind.
Here’s to the sweet love; I’m glad to call you mine.

Fingers dance across my skin so light,
Like feathers of a dove, so soft and fair.
This gentle touch ignites my heart’s delight,
A love that binds us in the tender air.  
Our energies align and pull us near,
The waves of connection spark and hum.
Vibrations blend as our souls merge,
In unity, our hearts beat as one.  
We breathe as one while holding oh so tight,
This peace is perfect in its time and space.
Our passion burns, a flame so pure and bright,
You melt my being in your warm embrace.  
Our skin’s soft touch sends sparks that freely roam,
A charge that lights our beings, intertwined.
Without you, life would fade to monochrome,
Your radiant light forever fills my mind.

When your heart is feeling tired and full in all its parts,
It's me that will help you, baby, I'll carry your heart.
When your heart is feeling heavy and it's full of a load to bear,
It's me, love, I'll carry your heart with so much care.
When your mind is racing and you don't know which way to go,
It's me, Ray, I'll carry your heart to lessen your load.
When you struggle with your decisions, your heart should take,
It's me, Ray, I'll help. I'll carry your heart when you need a break.
When you just need to know that you're truly not alone within your heart,
Baby, it's me, I'll always carry your heart as long as you let me; we won't break apart.

If I ever say I love you more,
It doesn't mean I love you more than you love me.
It means I love you more with each second, minute, hour, or day to be.
I love you more than the ocean ever thought it could hold,
More than the mountains rise above the countryside so bold.
I love you more with every second that passes, like the blink in a tiny baby’s eye,
More than the minutes it takes for a firework to reach the sky.
I love you more than every hour waiting for the day’s work to end,
More than the days that space us and all the ways we bend.
So when I say I love you more, I love you more than I could ever explain to you,
Which I think we can both agree means we love each other more too.

I imagine kissing you where no one else can see,
Where in the silence, we're wrapped up, just you and me.
You make this girl feel special and oh so very loved.
I can imagine being held like you hold me; it’s the sweetest kind of love.  
I know you can’t always be right where I am,
But that doesn’t stop the fact I still call you my man.
You care for me in ways I’ve never been shown before,
Simple things like being a gentleman or holding open the door.  
You make me feel so seen, not only just heard.
Your love has rescued me, as if I were a wounded bird.
In our special moments—man, what does that mean?
We always have special moments when we’re together and unseen.  
Just know I see you, not just the beautiful man
Upon whom I gaze,
But the wonderful man you are in every single way.
You deserve so much love and the sweetest care;
It saddens me that I can’t always be right there.  
Not a day will ever pass that we won’t talk or share with each other,
And knowing that you love me, and how much I love you,
Makes me glow all over.

I'm a giver of my love, baby.
There's definitely no maybe.
When it comes to giving; it's just something I do.
Baby, I'd give anything or everything just for you.
I even give you endless hugs and kisses, no questions asked.
There surely is nothing that needs to ever be masked.
I give gifts that come straight from my heart.
These gifts come in my two favorite forms of art.
I give you my words as I speak them, every day, so true.
I give you my thoughts because baby, they are consumed by you.
I give myself completely every single part.
Most of all, baby, I give you my heart.

I'm going to love you
More than yesterday and even more than the day before.
I'll never forget your face when I'm shutting the car door.
I'm going to love you more than the spaces in between our time,
And even more when I'm aching, almost heartbroken, just wanting your hand in mine.  
I'll never let the space feel like a wall that's been put up between.
I'm going to love you more and more every day; trust me, you're seen.
I'll never stop or give up on us, though sometimes your girl can be...too much.
I'm going to keep trying to be the best I can be—why be in a rush?  
I'll never feel as if I'm losing you, if you keep loving me the way I am.
I'm certain that's not a problem, 'cause baby, you're my man.
I'll never grow tired of the way you look at me, as if I'm a sight to behold.
I'm fairly certain your eyes have made me feel like gold.  
I'll love you for more than three months, as you can plainly see,
'Cause baby, I'm not going anywhere—you mean everything to me.
So I'll continue to love you more than yesterday, more than we can count.
I'm going to love you forever; I believe that's a wonderful amount.

I'm not sure what's cuter, the way you make me laugh or the smile on your face.
Maybe it's the big grin I get when you say something that makes my heart race.
I'm not sure what's sweeter, the way we're so mushy in love in our messages.
Maybe it's the way we can make each other melt with just simple words and phrases.
Im not sure was more sexier on you, the way you give that "come get me" look, or the way you raise that eyebrow my way.
Maybe it's just your whole being, how you talk, and the things you say.
I'm not sure what's more romantic, the way you soflty caress my cheek And look into my eyes so deep.
Maybe it's the way you hold my head and cradle me against your body; I could almost fall asleep.
I'm not sure what everyone else has overlooked when they've looked your way.
Maybe because deep down they knew you were meant for me, Ray.
I'm not sure why you love me; maybe you share the same sentiment as me. Maybe it's because we were both made to give each other this beautiful love we see.

You never know the impact you have on someone's day,
How much you make them breathe a little easier by what you say.
Just imagine they haven't really spoken to anyone all day like you.
It's just something in the way you say things and how you do what you do.
It's feeling really lucky when you and I get one-on-one time.
Baby, I wouldn't trade these moments with you for any amount of dimes
The smile you put on my face is sure to be bright and shine.
Baby, you make me feel so loved and cared for; I'm so glad to call you mine.
So the impact you have upon this heart inside of me.
She'll gladly be in your presence any time that she can be.

Im way to critical of myself,
It’s always something in my heart,I never feel I’m rested.

My brain gets too invested.

It’s like im a ticking time bomb, But not one that explodes.

But one who never knows when,Her emotions start to show.

Sometimes there’s  not a reason for All this silly pain.

It’s all seems pretty trivial,Seems to make me feel insane.

I hate to see my reflection  in the mirror On the wall.

Maybe that could be the problem.It’s just looking at all my flaws.

I never have liked what I see, i’ve always known why.

Can’t I just be pretty, to everyone else’s eyes?

I know looks don’t matter, It’s all just what inside your heart.

When critical of yourself, It’s when these feelings start.

I know I have my issues and probably drive people crazy.

I can’t help I get excited, I’m such a silly daisy.

I know I always ramble about nonsense all the time.

But see if im talking to someone then I’m keeping them occupied.

They won’t be so quick to judge me by how I come across.

Im really not trying to be anybody boss.

I always feel like when I turn my back.

Im the topic of discussion , on all the things I lack.

Will I ever be normal and not so in my head?

It’s starts in the morning and never settles till I’m in bed.

I guess im not the only one with this struggle everyday.

“Take a breath”, “Calm down”, “You’re going to be okay”.  

See, it’s never that easy; it’s not just the flip of a switch.

For if it were I wouldn’t feel like sometimes  I’m  such a *****.

I never mean to come off angry,  or even cut people off.

It’s just another product of one of my many flaws.

So, if you feel like me and are hypercritical, too.

Just know that there’s someone out there who knows exactly what you’re going through.

She's always in her mind,
looking for things she can never find.
She's chasing crazy dreams and wishes.
She's always chasing ***** dishes.
She's always in her mind,
looking for love she left behind.
She's always overthinking every situation,
causing her to wander to higher elevations.
She's always in her mind,
running from troublesome thoughts on the carousel you wind.
She's a worrier, always expecting the worst.
Why did she ever think of these troublesome thoughts at first?
She's always in her mind,
always working and on the grind.
She has to finish what she starts.
When she doesn't, she feels she shatters beautiful art.
She's always in her mind,
looking for ways she can always be kind.
She feels she's doing something sweet
when she gives loved ones things she finds neat.
She's always in her mind,
feeling as if she's leaving people behind,
she stresses over how others feel.
It makes her upset, almost ill.
She's always in her mind,
almost as if she feels confined, like a person locked in a room,
like she's chained and faces an uncertain doom.
She's always in her mind,
almost as if she were dressed up and disguised; she puts on a mask to show off a smile. Sometimes it's something you haven't seen for a while.
She's always in her mind,
Maybe it's what she was prescribed.
She sometimes feels crazy and she doesn't fit in.
But boy does she love when she's pulled into them.
She's always in her mind a scary place to be, but if she weren't in her mind, she wouldn't be.

Saying I'm in love with you may seem extreme,
But baby, I'm in love with your everything.
I'm in love with the smile on your face,
The way your face lights up with grace.
I'm in love with the man you are now;
I don't care who you were before.
The way you are to me is so much more.
I'm in love with the way you say my name,
The way it rolls off your tongue.
Man, why does it feel like this, baby? Can we just stay forever young?
I'm in love with the eyes that pull me in with just a single sweeping stare,
The way your eyes stay on me intently with such great care.
I'm in love with your soul, the way it touches mine,
The way that feels like we can get lost in forever's time.
Baby, I'm so in love with you.

When our eyes met across a crowded room,
a profound, unknown bond was formed, destined to eventually bloom.
This is when I believe our connection, beyond physical attraction, was manifesting.  
Through the years of seeing each other, not knowing what we know now, is something.
For in this love's eternal force, it broke through to our souls and connected us at the right time.
This is the flame that lit the spark we needed, and it has been just fine.
Now, this longing, ache, and desire I have for your soul constantly....
It's the passion in your deep down, I love with such intensity.
There's still something between our eyes and that first glance that makes us come undone.
It's a deeply familiar, electric moment between our souls, finally connected to a certain one.
The longing, the fulfillment, and the fierce devotion of our souls together, Make this wild, intense burning for a bond with you unlike any other.
So when our eyes met across that room, and many seasons have passed.
This has deepened the connection to the bond we share that seemed to happen so fast.
But to us, it seems like we've never been strangers as it shows.
I am ready for our love to grow, and I can't wait to see how intensely it grows.

In the eyes of my daughter, from the day she was born,
She had them locked on me like the cellar from the storm.
God knew what He was doing when He placed her in my life,
Just when things got crazy and there was so much strife.
The darkness of her big, brown eyes just pierced straight to my soul,
I delivered a missing piece, once missing, now she has made me whole.
I never thought the day would come when I'd have a precious baby girl,
I believe my daddy sent her from above to send me in a beautiful whirl.
It's never been too easy, yet never has been too rough,
But heaven gave this little girl specifically to us.
And boy, is she a tough one!
Don't cross her when she's mad. She is the prettiest little one I ever could have had.
The heart of an angel and the courage of a lioness,
Nothing has ever stopped my girl. She has always been so blessed.
She has always persevered and pushed on,
Even when she struggles and feels like she can't compete.

In the eyes of my daughter, from the day that she was born,
She took those big, brown eyes of hers and lit up my whole world.
And to this day, I look at her and can't believe she's my little girl. ♥️

It's another night where I lie and wonder what it would be like.
I wonder what it would be like to be in that space.
What would it be like if I could just be in that place?
Thoughts fluctuate through my head,
Then suddenly my nose turns red.
I wonder what you've been up to without me. What do you do?
I'm sure thoughts of me have crossed your mind, too.
This has to be the hardest part.
I feel a terrible aching in my heart.
It's not fair; they can't see. How can they possibly not know what you do to me?
These are just some thoughts that fill my head.
I even wonder how pleasant and peaceful it would be here with you in my bed.
My connection to you, my soulmate, yes, that's what you are.
You're like a gift given to me from the heavens, in the form of a star.
But here I lie and dream sweet, endless dreams that probably will never come true.
Yes, all my wildest dreams are with you.
With all my love, soul, and my biggest heart.
It's another night that we are separated, and we are sadly apart.

I'm just shell of who I once was,
I used to be much more
But lately I feel so empty
like I don't know what I'm for
Not to long ago I had alot of fans
People who looked up to me
Because I did so great
Today this isnt right
It's so not the case
I feel like I have let the most important
People down
Like I jumped into the deep end I can't swim
I might drown.
They expect a happy healthy home
But how can you have that
With a loser for a mom who can't seem to get on track
There's so many out there looking to hire
But when I turn in my resume it seems to be set on fire then they go about thier day
Why does no one want me? Do they know I'm a loser too?
I have so much I need to work for so much I don't want to loose.
I'm driving myself crazy like who have I become
I'm afraid I'll forget how to work and everything will go all wrong
I know people love and care for me deeply, if they only knew the hate I feel just at the reflection that I see
I could be talking crazy, it could all be in my mind
I feel like no one believes me but lord knows how hard I've tried.
I guess this is the new me ill have to get use to, being told your not wanted and then ignored by all
I guess this is the valley, no one told me how hard  I would fall.

See, Its seems to be im the one who can't let you go,
can't ever let you leave.
There's something about just one more hug and kiss
that brings me such sadness.
It's not because I fear it's the last,
but I don't know when the next one will be or if it will come fast.  
The time with you is completely amazing; so is everything we do.
It's just so much joy getting to spend any time with you.
It could be a simple meeting in a parking lot,
Just to sit and cuddle and hold each other, time flies by so fast it's almost that time's forgot.
It could be a visit to a store, for a short little shopping trip,
Even when we feel we're rushed in how we spend our time.
It's never anything negative; it's worth every second and every dime.
Getting to love you is special; it's an awesomely amazing thing.
I get to share my love with the most wonderful man life could bring.
I feel so peaceful and content in everything we do.
There is no space or time that will keep me away from you.

Don't let this dream I dream slip away, don't let it leave the brightest spotlight of my day.

Silent like a sundial in the sunshine,
I can only wish to claim you as mine.

I promise I'm just orbiting the sun in its natural RAYs.
You're a beacon of hope shining through the sunbeams today.

For the moments we share, reaching out to my friend,
in heart, mind, and soul, this bond can never end.

Let our bond be one of a kind,
special, just as we dream,
like a lighthouse searching with its brightest beam.

I'm here not to possess you,
just to bask in the warmth of your words and smile.
Your presence is like still waters on the sea across the miles.

In the beautiful colors of life, you're the most beautiful shade I've seen.
The laughter flows naturally and gently, like water rolling in a stream,

Talking like we are weaving a beautiful tapestry with our words.
Time, like wings that grow on the most beautiful bird.

In your presence, I only wish to exist  one day.
Please don't stop showing me that I am worth the stay.

Of all the time passing, of all the days apart,
keep me close to you, in your thoughts and in your heart.



Leanne ☀️

I can't explain my feelings why do I feel so sad?
It's almost as if I'm angry,
Leanne, why do you get so mad?
I feel like I'm alone here just all by myself,
waiting for the clock to tick, or turn the page to something else.
So emotional, so forgotten, and so blue.
Leanne, why does it feel like no one knows what the hell you're going through?
It's not very easy you can't just flip a switch.
It's almost like I have a scratch that can't even itch.
My emotions are so crazy I'm right here on the edge.
Please tell my mind to "stop it", "get away from that ledge".
I don't wish to harm me, or anybody else.
I just feel like I'm suffering, deep inside myself.
Leanne, what is this mess you have become?
What wrong inside your mind?
Can I please just feel normal and not crazy all the time.
My hands get so shaky, the biggest tears start to fall.
Sometimes they last a minute, then sometimes they don't stop for long.
I don't understand, I feel happy but my emotions get so confused.
I've got all I've ever wanted, but control of my own mood.
I may be a big baby, at least that what I feel I am.
Leanne can you please act like an adult now and not some childish little lamb?
Here I am almost forty years old, is that whats wrong with me?
Have I gotten to the age now, I feel bad for being me.
I feel like someone is always asking me why, when the tears start to flow.
It's like they have a problem with "I don't really know".
I know I'll be alright, and everything will be just fine.
I just feel I need someone around or beside me all the time.
Leanne Stop it!,get out of your head.
Look alive your not bed stricken or dead.
You have such beauty in your life, Leanne just smile!
I feel like sometimes Leanne is just letting everybody down.

Let me hold you,
Hold you as tight as I am able.
Let me hold you,
Never letting go; you keep me stable.
Let me hold you,
Forever and a day.
Let me hold you,
I’ll remember everything you say.
Let me hold you,
Today and tomorrow.
Let me hold you,
Through all my pain and sorrow.
Let me hold you,
I promise I won’t let go.
Let me hold you,
You’re the sweetest love I know.
Let me hold you,
When your days are bad.
Let me hold you,
I promise I’ll take away your sad.
Let me hold you,
However you want me to.
Let me hold you,
I’ll let you hold me, always through and through.

You are like a galaxy, I wish to explore.
When I'm with you, I always want so much more.
I'd love to take and lay you down.
Treat you like a king, baby, you don't need a crown.
I pay great attention to every single spot.
Treat you like a galaxy, you make me feel so hot.
I trace every part of you, every spot and every scar.
Marking every place on you, adding star by star.
The stars will be the galaxy of you, Where every star has settled that's a kiss from me, guiding us to the moon.
This galaxy that I'm exploring is something new to me. I'm like an extraterrestrial being, seeing all that I can see.
You're the galaxy. I compare my love, how vast in nature it is.
I can't believe this Galaxy of you is somewhere I'm called his.
I'll never tire of exploring the beautiful galaxy.
Any time I want to visit, I just look into your eyes for all eternity.

I'd be lost without you, my guiding star,
A mess, unraveling, that's for sure.
I wouldn't know which way to go, by far,
This love's too deep to ever be a spur.
I'd be a shell of who I am today,
Hollow and drifting, without your light.
You'd linger as a thought that won't fade away,
Forever in my heart, burning bright.
I'd be there, baby, through every storm,
Chasing your love, no matter the climb.
With you, my soul feels safe and warm,
I'll seek you always, until the end of time.

When you meet a walking love letter,
Someone who doesn't know how much they matter,
This love letter doesn't realize it's lighting up rooms,
Rooms once darkened by such gloom.
This love letter shifts atmospheres, carrying great inspiration.
This love letter turns every sad day or day I'm down into a beautiful situation.
This love letter fills hearts with such beautiful love,
This love letter, to me, is surely sent from above.

This love of ours is on fire,
This flame that can burn right to all our desires.
This love on fire takes us into its flame,
This flame has our beautiful love to blame.  
This love on fire burns straight to the heart,
This burning causes my heart to ache when we are apart.
This love on fire burns down all these walls we’ve built to keep others out,
This burning flame tears down the walls to let us both in; I wish we could shout.  
This love on fire shouldn’t have to be hidden under,
This flame is eternal and should burn and shake this world like thunder.  
This love on fire will blaze through the night,
This flame holds our souls in its radiant light.
No force can extinguish this fire we share,
It burns ever brighter, our hearts laid bare.

Walking in love's bright light,
Where warmth touches skin,
Not hot enough to burn,
But penetrating enough to make you feel
The presence of this love still.
Walking in love's bright light is not scarring;
It holds you like a warm blanket in the cold.
Take me to my love's bright light,
The light that makes me shine,
The one that makes me glow,
This beautiful, bright light of love means more than it will ever know.

Love you
I just want to
Love you, sweet man of mine
Love you right is what I want to do
Maybe soon

You make loving you so easy,
Like leaves on trees when it's breezy.
You make kissing you so sweet,
Everytime our mouths touch, it sure is extra sweet.
You make talking feel like chatting with the best.
With you, I'm so comfortable, much better than the rest.
You make hugging you the biggest stress relief.
Hugging you has to be one of my favorite things.
You make me have sweet tickles, that really are out of this world.
When you touch me,  I feel I'm your only girl.
You make everything feel so simple
Have you ever seen me smile so big that it shows my dimple?
But one thing stands out from all of the above.
Missing you is so hard, my love. But to have your sweet, loving self in my life today. It's worth all of the missing you, ill gladly take this pain.

Loving you feels like the most natural thing in the world. I'll never stop.
Your love had caused my heart to flutter, skip, and flip-flop.
I get these warm feelings even when we're not side by side,
it's like you're still holding me after we park and say goodbye.
I feel your love in the breaking of your soul on my sweet lips.
The passion when we hold each other, I drown in your intoxity and your tight grip.
The power of our connection, our magnetic bond,
is strengthened every time we spend time together, of you I am so fond.
Can we be together every day? It's hard to keep our love and souls apart.
My heart, soul and body misses you,
I know you feel the same as me, I read a book titled your heart.
I imagine how it would be to wake up in your arms.
Knowing I'd be safe and protected to anything that could cause me harm. This natural feeling feels like a journey with you.
I will never ever stop, because every chapter includes us two.

You healed the ache I once had.
Opened up what was once trapped.
Unexpected blessings you were to me.

All time spent with you is a relief,
Replenishing the void with you.
Everything is wonderful beside you.

Making me feel brand new,
You’re the only Medicine that I need.

Meeting the needs of heart and soul,
Every day I'd spend with you.
Deepening the healing power of love,
I'm never giving up this medicine, you.
Calming my heart and all of me,
I need you in my presence,
Need you to be my warmth,
Even need you to be the refuge in all

of life's storms.
You are my medicine; I will always take it.

Regardless of time or distance,
my heart aches to be with you.  
I miss your face,
my calm amidst life's storms; even a picture brings comfort.  
Spending time together is even better. When missing you feels overwhelming,
I sense your presence—your breath in mine,
your sight in my eyes,
your warmth enveloping me.
I feel our love and togetherness,
our sweet destiny.  
Missing you is inevitable,
but the joy of being with you makes it worthwhile.  
Missing you is simply a part of our connection.

Mold me


Like clay that can be recycled,
Then formed into something new.
This clay, like a rebirth, now loved,
This new reinvention shows the new you.
Like in the potter’s hands, he molds a beautiful shape,
One that once was just a lump of clay.
The potter’s hands can make this art anew, escape—
Like helping shape someone’s life one day.
We are like clay, being worked and formed.
This process is like the improvement of oneself.
Unlike the piece that once was unformed,
Now becomes something beautiful to display on a shelf.

Moon glows
In the darkest night
Shining in the path of us
A gentle glow casting down lighting the way
Love grows

You're my baby, the one in my heart and my sweetest delight.
You're the warmth of the morning sun and the stars in my night.
Your voice is my melody, your tender touch is my home,
With you, my baby, my true love, I'm never really alone.
Your eyes so deep hold a space where I'm safe and free,
My baby, you're my safe haven of love, just you and me.
Through life's random storms and through all the sunshine of the days, you're steady, you're true,
My baby, my forever, my heart will always belong to you.
In every whisper in my ear, each moment we share, you make my soul sing,
My baby, you're my reason, my happy days, my everything.
So here's to our love, may it continue to grow; we know it won't fade.
My baby, my love, with you in my life, I'm never alone and never afraid.

Your words melt into me, soft and deep,
They pierce my heart, a wound so sweet.
You give me love I’ve never had,
Making me want you, oh so bad.
Your love shows me you truly care,
Checking I’m okay, though you’re not there.  
If I had a choice, I’d pick you to be,
To give you my all, my heart set free.
You soothe my heart when I’m feeling sad,
And calm me down when I’m raging mad.
Your hugs heal any hurt I sustain,
My rainbow shining after the rain.  
Ray, my love for you I can’t fully say,
It feels so fresh, like love’s new day.
My heart’s a whirl, a passionate blaze,
I’m your crazy daisy, caught in your gaze.
Those eyes of yours, they look with ease,
Could bring me falling to my knees.  
When you say my eyes are pretty too,
I know they’re locked on only you.

My lighthouse in storms
And times of life is you.

My lighthouse is my hope,
When things feel they may fall through.

My lighthouse guidance has helped, me endure the unthinkable
Helps me through times I need, healing and making sacrifices whenever able.

My lighthouse is such a guiding force,
Guiding me toward the correct turns, in the road to follow love’s course.

My lighthouse is stability, helping to steady me in its hold,
Never letting me go, a safe haven for me to live like gold.

My lighthouse guides me at night in my dreams,
Helping me follow all aspirations, always on my team.

My lighthouse is the light in my vision,
Helping to show clarity in all that’s been.

My lighthouse is my security always,
Keeping me safe and under a watchful light, in any unknown doorway.

My lighthouse stays ever steady in its love;
I’m always looking for its guiding light above.

My mother, you are
And always will be,
Even when your body
Is taken from me.

You've given your love
Abundantly so,
And cared for others,
Even ones I don’t know. 
 
You never think that
You’ll lose your best friend,
Especially your mother,
Your friend ‘til the end.

You’ve taught me to be strong,
To always persevere,
And shown me it’s okay
To sometimes feel fear. 
 
I’m glad I was gifted
A beautiful heart,
Just like my momma,
Who’s shown me love from the start.

As I sit here and ponder
All the years past,
I can surely say
We’ve all had a blast.
  
Since we were little
And you held us so close,
The way that you taught us
So much that we know.

To the days when Daddy
Was gone on a trip,
It was just us three,
With you manning the ship.
  
You were so strong then,
And you’re still strong today.
I just can’t imagine
How it will feel when you go away.

So I sit here in your
Hospital room,
Listening to you,
So calm and content.  
Then Bubba beside me,
Snoring just like when we were kids,

Back in the day when
Daddy would travel.
It was just us three,
Ready for battle.

Now as I sit here
And see just us three,  
Thinking that soon
It will be me and just Lee.

Your twin babies and you
Always would share,
I’d get embarrassed—
Why did I care?  

You were so proud
To have two special kids.
Now that I have my own,
I see why you did.

Thank you for teaching me
And guiding me through.
Thank you, dear Momma,
For being there for the birth of my two. 
 
You helped bring my babies
Into this world years ago,
Something you were so proud of—
It sure made you glow.

I know heaven is waiting
With gates open wide,
There you’ll find Daddy,
Waiting for his sweet bride.  
You’ll see Papal, or your daddy,
I should say,
And even Uncle Stevie
Oh, what a joyous day.

It’s okay, Momma,
We’ll hold Grandma near,
And your sweet Dolly Wiley—
We’ll love her, don’t fear.  

I’m ready to see you
No longer in pain.
I’m sad for you to leave us,
But what a wonderful woman heaven will gain.

My muse, your mind, a light, sharp and bright,
With a heart so strong, you've held me from the start.
One word from you ignites my soul's delight,
Your love's the flame that kindles all my art.
Your words, like rivers, rush through my heart and pen,
They carve out my dreams, inspiring each line I write.
A single smile, your voice, and I'm alive again,
You fill my world with colors bold and bright.
No time away can dim the love your strength has sown,
My muse, my man,
Through every storm, your heart remains my home,
With you, my soul finds peace where love resides.
Baby, you're the song I'll always sing,
Your words, your love, my endless stream of joy.
With every breath, my heart will soar and cling,
My muse, my man, my love, my bringer of joy!

I kissed you in my heart’s hot light, a heated fire so fierce and true,
Your face shines the brightest within my sight, my dreams I dream  are all of you.
I look at you, my heart beats a special rhythm; your smile is my every morning song.
Your laugh, your touch—I love them so much; with you, I know I can't go wrong.
When the smallest amount of miles keep us apart, I look to your picture near.
Each look ignites a spark to heat this heart and dry my lonely tear.
You're in my thoughts both day and night, the star in my sky that never fades.
Each beat of my heart feels your love as your soul invades.
I want to be the one to make you smile each day, to wrap you in my care,
To hold you close through storms' cold ways, and show my love is always there.
I give my heart; it's yours to keep, though there could be a chance it might break in two.
I'd love you still, my feelings so deep; my heart belongs to you.
My love for you is worth the chance, though pain might come to call.
I'd give my heart in love's sweet caress and never let you fall.
I miss your big days, loud and bold, when joy lights up the sky,
Your quiet times, so soft, so small, when only silent whispers fly.
Through days of cheer or care you share, through feelings great and small,
You're in my heart; I will always feel you there, my love will never fall.
In every moment, bright or dim, my heart sings out your name,
Big dreams or small, you're everything, my love will stay the same.

Seeing you first thing this morning made me feel as close to waking up with you. But oh, how special it would actually be to roll over and be cuddled up next to me. You set my face into the biggest giddy grin.
I never want my time with you to end. You're a special part of my life I will never let go of.
Your lips on my lips, your tongue intwined with mine,
The dance they do together is so fine. Your arms around me, holding, squeezing me tight, Baby, I could always bask in your shining light.

No one knows our story,
So who are they to judge?
Only if they knew this kind of love,
The way we feel about each other,
How connected we are.
So come what may,
We know everything will be okay.
The way we make each other feel,
Others may not believe it's true.
But they have no clue the power between us two.
You're my man and I'm your girl,
No one can ever change that between us.
Baby, I'm not ever giving you up without a fuss!
We are wild for each other, not in a "driving someone crazy" kind of way.
Just the fact that we're crazy about each other.
So no one knows our story, and we are still writing it as we go.  What the next chapter holds, we will only know when we get there.

It's been just being in His presence, or even thinking of him gives me tingles like a small jolt of electricity. His voice, I hear it and it instantly makes me smile, its calms me as he speaks ever so sweetly. His eyes, the sneaky way I look up at him and he suddenly looks right back to my eyes as if to read my mind. His touch, his slightest brush against my face with his beard, especially when his hands touch me in any place so sweet. His words, he always knows what to say and makes me melt into a puddle every single day. The sweetest words you ever read or hear.His energy, he possesses a pull, a magnetizing connection to him from deep inside his soul. His gentleness, he always wants to make sure everything is okay. Always checking in making me feel safe.His quietness, it always makes me question what's going on in his mind. I always pray it's me. His soul, filled with sweetness and kindness linked together with mine. His laugh. Always a joy for me to hear, I forever thankful when I am near. Most of all its His Heart and His Sweet Love, the biggest of them all, the way he has given me pieces of his heart to  keep. I will always take care of his heart as it's within mine so deep. This is where his love is shown so sweet to me. The love he gives is immensely shown to me. This has been one whole month of .....**HIS

We are always on the edge of something:
On the edge of danger,
On the edge of anger,
On the edge of laughter,
On the edge of tears,
On the edge of falling—
In or out of love.
Whatever edge you are on,
Just know this edge is safe,
For at the bottom of this edge,
there is no cliff.
All you need is a little faith,
to make it to the end.

Orbit

Put a satellite into orbit;
The galaxy will watch it with the stars.

The ones set in place for all to see
Tell us stories of who you are.

The influence of this earthly planet,
The way the gravitational force occurs.

In astronauts’ celestial explorations,
This space full of stars is yours.

The way the Earth orbits the biggest and brightest star.
Is the way this satellite orbits among the moon.

Never stopping to settle down,
But knowing this satellite is orbiting around.

Always moving,
I’ll never stop waiting.

The satellite will be coming back around again for me.

We never know the direction the wind will blow,
Never know how quickly or slowly the storms turn.
We never know the way the birds will fly,
Never know how far it is to the sky.
We were never meant to know how things go or how fast things change.
The only thing is we must simply trust
that the direction we go or the way we choose is all a part of the plan.

His words, like honey, stick to me,
Soft and sweet,
He melts my heart into a puddle at his feet.
Each phrase he speaks, a tender, warm glow is formed,
This glow ignites my soul into a gentle swarm.
