You press me each day to be much better
Much more than what I was only yesterday
And when it seems my heart might falter
Because of my need for You I kneel and pray

You only want the very best for me Lord
Wanting to make me spiritually strong
So one day when I put on my priestly robes
I may not do a single thing that’s wrong

You love me daily with a Fathers Love
And so deep and full is what You give
And as someone who knows their Fathers will
No blessings from me have You ever hid

You lift me up on high so often lord
Causing within my heart to be born sweet praise
Transcending words which find a lovely home
In your presence my Lord every day

An interlude, quiet
Soft and lovely,
Full of a tender smile, yet
So much a part of life’s
Hidden joys

A magical essence that
Is lost yet found at the
Same moment in your smile.
And the magic prevails even
Against the night

…for you far outshine the
stars and the moon

A revolution goes on
Constantly within your
Eyes, causing a fire to
Daily rage

And its spark sets fire
To every living essence
Within me, and I know
That I love you

Realizing  my life’s song is
A tribute to your never
Ceasing devotion,  making
Its melody of love…

A rhapsody to my heart.

From my heart of hearts I seek You

In the place where my happiness stays

I long to hear Your soothing voice

In the place where my love daily plays


Your love is the most vibrant of my needs

The essence of my life each day

I must eat of your loves sweet tenderness

As In Your grace I humbly stay


What blessings Lord you have allowed

Which brings my lost soul back to life

That I may drink with undeserving lips

From Your tender sweet well tonight


While my day grasps it’s closing moments

And soft stirring stars bring me to slowly sleep

I open up the richness of my love filled heart

So with my spirit You shall always be.

I need to see your face each day
To keep my smile alive
I need to hear your gentle voice
To make my heart smile deep inside

For certain things always happen
While you are so close to me
My breath just seems to slip away
And I weaken in my knees

Why would this happen daily
At no particular time or place
Whenever your smile enters my world
Never wanting to be replaced

There is a deep need to see you
As I awaken to begin each day
For only you alone can move my heart
In so many inspiring ways

The fire in my heart never seems to dim
Nor does the sparkle in your eyes go away
Neither will its radiance ever find itself replaced
By the sunshine which finds my face each day

So soothing are my dreams of your caring heart
When you leave for work going away from me
Yet, your image completely floods my mind today
As your smiling face is the only thing I now see

I feel your heart's loves call as you think of me
As each moment passes I also dream of you
Because I feel it’s alive within each breath I take
While my heart slowly sings a love-song so true  

And the truest treasure I have in my life
Can only be found alive each day in you,
As the most beautiful display of love in my day
Is found alive in everything you always do

And within my heart one will surely find
A soothing fire which never seems to die
For its always fed each moment which passes
By the alluring sparkle found in your eyes

An angel came to my world with a message
Holding a perfect triangle in His hand
He asked me if I knew why he carried it
I laughed at him thinking such a crazy man

He placed it down on a piece of paper
Beginning to trace all of its shared lines
And as the image came together so complete
He then asked of me to open up my mind

He explained how its adjoining three points
All share equally the same space in between
He went on to ask me this single question
If I truly understood what it really means

He went on to say how it truly displays
In such a very special and wholesome way
A wonderful side of pure spiritual wisdom
Which many alive fail to embrace each day

The top point of the triangle sit’s our God
With His glory, grace, forgiveness and love
But the two lines which went away from Him
Went to the two creations He was most proud of

The third line reflects Gods strong foundation
A shelter when needing guidance the two would be
But here in the triangle they would be connected
Saying this is the way our lives should truly be.

If as a man you turn your head away from God
You cannot hide away anything you might do
As you are connected to both God and your wife
He shall see and feel all you might plan to do

It is the same for the wife as with her husband
If she ever for some reason chooses to turn away
God will see any paths which she also might take
And nothing would be hidden from Him in any way

The point of the message which he shared with me
Was to help me understand where my heart should stay
He said look at the connecting lines in your life
Sharing and depending will bless your lives each day

For God will love and embrace you both all the time
With His blossoming love in so many beautiful ways
And His blessings will always nourish your lives daily
When in this threefold embrace of love you both stay.

Never mistreat each other a single day in your lives
Treat and love the other as you would love yourself
And when God looks daily upon your steps each day
Your hearts will never in his eyes leave any doubt.

My God is a consuming fire
Who does meet my every need
He bounds my spirit in his pocket
As he quietly watches over me

Never again will I be alone
Or far from his eyes which see
For wherever it is I am in life
He will always be close to  me

He never forsakes me a moment
Of his blessed bread to eat
For my Lord provides my supper
And the spiritual drink I need

Though around me sin abounds
Each day pulling at my senses
His spirit allows my heart to see
Through all of sin’s pretenses

For my loving God, is pure life to me
Surrounding me with angelic fences
Holding me closely each and everyday
While keeping my heart very contented.

The way you look at me sometimes
Often sweeps my mind away
Only leaving images of your beauty
To help my mind pass the time of day

The look which I see upon your face
Needs not words to let me know
What your look does express so vividly
For only my heart understands it so

This day has learned to decipher
All the precious looks you send my way
No longer leaving me to ponder
Why you wanted me in your life to stay

As I receive the loving gaze you send my way
Which becomes the best part of my day
I find myself eagerly waiting to return
A look of love to you in that same special way

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.

Their words lovingly make a daily appearance
With a new days birth they seem to find a way
Quite like a tremendously beautiful flower
Bringing many gorgeous smiles to life each day

It matters not which heart gives them life breath
Or whose selfless spirit makes them radiantly smile
Their priceless messages are embraced lovingly by many
As within each one you will find a love worthwhile

A daily love which generates an awesome true beauty
A unique one which will stand the test of time
And whether each writer/poet believes it to be true
Their words will age wonderfully like a fine wine

For God has blessed everyone with a taste of bliss
Of His delightfully joyous creative touch divine
And He will allow His sweet happiness to stay
As long as we praise Him in our hearts and minds.

Your soft beautiful smile embraces me
Whenever i find you to come so near
Inside my heart at that precious moment
I find when it happens I shed a quiet tear

Full of the deep and genuine happiness
I find my heart gives birth to each new day
It never leaves me ever to question or reason
Why so very near in my life I want you to stay

I find all of our moments we spend together
Seem to perfectly frame deep inside
A particular perfect and lovely treasure
That the love in my heart will never deny

I love sharing the daily softness of your smile
Which In my life I will always want to stay
Constantly embracing my world with its blessings
So its enchanting happiness I may enjoy each day

For I am made alive by its exquisite glow
And my life is refreshed by its energy
Making it always possible to love you so freely
While enjoying the precious love you bring to me

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.
