You smiled at me
and my heart was
lifted, and you made
me smile in return…

In my moment of
lonely sadness,
a quiet lesson
my heart did learn

For I found there
is something magical
with an awesome
power to brighten
up a day…

Because at the moment
when you smiled at me,
you made the loneliness
In my world to fade.
The power of a smile changes the complexion of a day!
Wendell A Brown Jun 2014
Because of you my heart sings
a song much sweeter than the
lark which makes its home in
the meadow...

I smile because of the faith
that I found you did reward
me with which makes me see
those things I would not...

My happiness is shown to all
through the feelings which
find life in finely inked
words of praise to you alone

And as Your glow adorns my  
my face each morning I rise
to a crescendo of many lovely
moments and heavenly sounds

Where I find the radiance in
your life light which I share
with you far outshines the
brightest star which lights
your heavenly kingdom.
A psalm of thanks to God
Wendell A Brown May 2014
Where can I go
to hide from
this image of love
that haunts me?

For even at night
when I lay down
to sleep, as my eyes
close I see your
smile…

When I am not
near you, the hunger
becomes much too
unbearable…

And when you are near
to me, I want to hold
you so very close, even
to the point of feeling
our hearts beating...
together as one

For I have become
overwhelmed by this
sweet love with its
enduring strength to
bind a willing slave
to its powers

And I know that my life
could never be happy
without you always by my
side.
When I first met my wife in April 1977, we stayed in separate dormitories, men with men, and women with women in the Air Force, we married June 24 of that same year...it will be 37 years  this June, love at first sight does happen
Wendell A Brown May 2014
I sat with you
And could not
Find the words
That day…

For they escaped
Me because I wanted
Them to be so right

I touched your hand
For the first time
And my heart did
Leap within…

I hugged you close
And you also did
The same

And I realized at
That moment I did
Not have to say a
Thing

For you already
Understood me
Because your eyes
Told me so

That what I wanted
To be, you also
Wanted the same
Thing too.
Beginning romance

So blissful is the morning
When in my ears are heard
The songs

Which are sung by angels
Up above as they
Awaken with the dawn

Going on their appointed
Duties to make a day
Become so alive

With the love of the
Eternal One who dwells
Up in the sky

The flowers open wide
This day, with their beauty
Giving Him praise

The birds majestically
Spread their wings in prayer
Dancing as they spiritedly
Fly on their way

And the sun so bright
Mightily awakens and
Truly shines his very best

For he knows the Lord
Is deserving of his praise
And he will never
Deliver anything less

So blissful is this
Wondrous day which
Is so alive with our
God’s great love

That I am just
Like all the others
For He alone each day
I think of.


'Thank You Lord, for the gift blessing  
I could never repay, of another year of life
... on this 22nd day of May.'
A prayer of thanks to God for the blessing of enjoying another birthday!

I needed a warm and tender love
To share a dream for two
I needed a love to be my friend
And I found that love was you

I needed someone to become a part
Of a love so genuine and real
For what is love if never used
Or a heart that will never feel

I needed someone to make me
Open my heart so free
I needed someone who also
Had a genuine need for me

I needed someone who needs the love
That I alone can truly give
I needed a love who wanted the same
To share the life we both want to live

I needed a warm and tender love
To share this awesome dream for two
It was easy to determine as I kissed your lips
I knew the love I needed would be you.
A beginning when love is first embraced
Wendell A Brown May 2014
Within us there is a world unseen
Where young spirits seek to know
The voices they begin to hear each day
As their passion for life now grows

They will begin to make tough choices
As the voices within become alive
Leaving them to seriously ponder daily
Which choice, might be wrong or right

For everything they attempt each day to do
Along with the choices their hearts will make
Will deeply affect the life road they choose
And within, their  spirits will now be at stake

Inside the  voices strive for dominance
Like two hungry wolves over a tasty meal
And of the two available choices in life
One gives a blessing while the other kills

So we must always be so very cognizant
Of the choices each day which are made
So when the end time appears in our lives
By believing in His name we will be saved.
The words to this poem came to life while deeply praying, its message I think is awesome!
