*Life is filled with choices
so many there to make
Right or wrong we do it,
chances that we take

Often we face failure,
sometimes we succeed
We'll just go on trying
if it's something we believe

Yes mistakes will happen,
we see it everyday
That doesn't mean to worry,
just listen as I say

We've just one life we're living,
we ought to have some fun
So make the choice to smile,
before your time is done

For it is your decision,
it's yours and yours alone
Which path you tend to wander
of everything you've known

And when you say it's final
I hope that I will see
A choice made from within your heart
and you have chosen me

*A chilly morning
greets me beneath
dark November skies
and silent stars
as another new day
finds me
thinking of you

And as I gaze
across somber fields
to the northern horizon
my thoughts change
as I wonder
if you are thinking
of me too

~

*A blushing sunset
tempts my heart
with alluring visions

Illuminating my dreams
on graceful waves
of pastel painted waters

Tiny seashells offering
mother of pearl wishes
entice my smile

As glistening sands
reflect a violet sky of
silent shimmers in my eyes

And still my thoughts
always return to the
beauty I find in you

-

Where once sat a puddle
dry pavement remains
Your smile has erased
the tear drop caused stains

And cracks in the concrete
have disappeared too
Like the cracks in my heart
now filled in by you

While footprints of mud
I no longer see
Since your perfect love
has washed over me

So now we can stroll
where the sidewalk does lead
With you by my side,
that’s all that I need

~
*The light of my mornings
is not in the skies
On the horizon,
a wondrous sunrise
~
Painting the heavens
a light shade of blue
The light of mornings
will always be you

~

Kiss me o’er the sunset
Kiss me ‘fore the dawn
Kiss me ‘neath a glowing moon
‘Pon a dew drop lawn

Kiss me ‘midst the maples
Kiss me ‘long the shore
Kiss me o’ my precious one
Now and ev’r more
