One of life's great gifts
Is the pleasure of giving
Adding so much joy
To this life
That we're living
.....................................
To give with a smile
And a Heart that's content
Can mean so much more
Than the gift that's been sent
.......................................
There's so many ways
We can bring someone pleasure
Giving time
Giving patience
Giving memories
They'll treasure
.................................
Some things we can give
Money just cannot buy
Like a hug
Or the love
To wipe a tear from the eye
...................................
Fulfilment acquired
Much more than before
When a loving heart gives
........................................
( We receive so much more. ~)

I smile as I watch you laughing
I wonder where's the time

I push your hair back from your face
tilt your head to look at mine

I tell you that I love you
You say ~
I love you too

Tears well in my eyes
Emotions rise
You look at me with great surprise

I smile and say
You'll never know
Just how much I love you so

How much meaning
The joy you bring
To our home
When I hear you sing

Each day I feel your warm embrace
I thank god for your love

Olivia grace

I like to watch the stars at night
As they twinkle in the pale moonlight

I like to watch the dawns sunrise
Lightning up the heavenly skies

I like to watch the magnificent sea
As its restless tide renders free

I like to watch winter birds fly
Overhead above the sky
These things they mean
So much to me
Reminding me
Of my gift
To see.

You may not be quite perfect
There may be things
You do not like
Things you say
Or things you do
Perhaps don't turn out right
With all your flaws
You may have found
It's not so bad
Don't wear that frown
As each new day dawns anew
Realise you are special
As there's only one you

If a raindrop was a kiss
I would give them all away
If the sunlight was a smile
I would share them every day
If the stars were positive thoughts
I would sprinkle them with glee
If the wind could spread my love
I'd give it all abundantly

Now is the time to rearrange
The thoughts of things
We cannot change

To just accept
Then leave behind
Those troubled times
That haunt the mind

Now is the time
To just embrace
Those future years
With a smile
On your face

To plan ahead
With goals in sight
Positive things
That bring delight

Now is the time
For you to shine
Enjoying

Each precious moment .....
Of time..........

Your eyes they tell a story
They say much more
Than spoken words

So much more
Than any love song
That I have ever heard

Your gaze it's hypnotic
It speaks directly to my soul
Just one look
Then majically
My inner core
Feels whole

Your eyes
They have such impact
So much more than words or sound

Each time you smile and look at me

Confirms the love we've found
