When I go to sleep tonight
I will thank you on bending knees
For never turning away “Oh Lord”
For staying so very close to me

You did not have to love me, Lord
Yet you chose that I should stay
A part of the love you alone possess
While each day You taught me your ways

Oh Lord, how happy do I always feel
What joy stays alive within my heart
For your love has never changed for me
As you have loved me from the very start

When I close my eyes to sleep tonight
I will be thanking you with all my heart
For Lord, you truly made it possible
Your love to remain my life’s best part.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 John 3:1 See what kind of love the Father
has given to us, that we should be called
children of God; and so we are. The reason
why the world does not know us is that it did
not know him.

Psalm 86:15 But you, O Lord, are a God
merciful and gracious, slow to anger and
abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

My Lord,He reaches to me every day
Giving my heart a song to sing
He lifts my spirit up in praise
Because He is my true everything

And even the days I might fall short
I will always find him very near
Because I know He loves me dearly
As He is always near to wipe my tears

My Lord is the true beauty of Nature
The loveliness of the seasons all
He’s the life which I breathe daily
His love is the reason I hear his call

He’s in the butterflies which dip and dive
The squirrels alive high up in the trees
In my daily life, he is truly everything
For He is alive in all which my eyes!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2 Chronicles 7:14-16
If My people, who are called by My name, will humble
themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from
their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and
will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now
My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the
prayers offered in this place. I have chosen and
consecrated this temple so that My name may be there
forever. My eyes and My heart will always be there.

Job 19:27
I myself will see [God] with my own eyes – I, and
not another. How my heart yearns within me!

Your beauty inspires me to write each day
About the love within your eyes I see
Which leaves my soul feeling breathless
For its sweet essence, I will always need

Whenever I find myself in your presence
I cherish each moment that comes to life
For every time I find you near to me
My mind fills with your alluring light

I am very proud to let my heart speak
Of the many feelings in my heart I feel
When you became my most valuable gift
Which from the deep parts none can steal

I will always have a deep longing for you
As each new morning, I embrace your smile
For you are the happiness alive within me
Which makes living my life so worthwhile

For you inspire me to write each new day
About the genuine selfless love my eyes see
Leaving me always wanting to share my life
With your amazing love, I will always need.

It brought tears to life within my eyes,
The kind which never seem to go away
Touching me deeply within my heart
In a lovely place, where his love stays

Because what His spirit joyfully brings,
Solidly puts in place a forever smile,
Which shines brightly as the morning sun,
Making a days birth become worthwhile.

When one does believe in our risen Lord
Deep within is born a new song to sing
As the one who believes is giving thanks
Feeling the grace loving him will bring

And if tears of sweet happiness fall daily
Then my sweet Lord it will just have to be
For my heart is full of your embracing love
That I want all living in the world to see

There is a wonderful joy which can be theirs
As they open their eyes to this life each day
A pure genuine love who will never leave them
Because in His embrace they will safely stay.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Philippians 4:11-13
Not that I am speaking of being in need,
for I have learned in whatever situation
I am to be content. I know how to be
brought low, and I know how to abound.
In any and every circumstance, I have
learned the secret of facing plenty and
hunger, abundance and need. I can do all
things through him who strengthens me.

I have loved you
And you may ask
How have I loved
You…

For I live each day
With a silent goal
To only make you
Happy…

I am empowered
By my happiness
To bring your face
To smile…

I sometimes cry
Shedding tears
For fear that you
One day might
Leave…

And I cherish
All the moments
With you whether
The best of times
Or the worse…

For life is not perfect
And I know that you
Also will not be…

But close to perfection
You are in many things
And I find it exciting…

For I have truly loved
You, not only yesterday
Not only today, but I will
Love you with the birth
Of each new tomorrow…

Continuously with all my heart!

THE BEAUTY OF A SMILE

A smile has so much
beauty my love, when
it gently adorns your
face

With a glow which is
found to be sister to
the sun’s soft radiant
rays

For such joy is found
to be within this
enchanting smile I daily
see

For what really makes it
to be very special is you
smile each day for me

And only the very best
ingredients will make
your smile continually
shine bright

For the radiance found
within your smile can
even light the darkest
sky found at night

Because a smile will
always have so much
beauty for the naked
eye to see

If the smile belongs
to my one true love
who daily smiles her
smile for me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wanted to make my wife smile
tonight the way she makes me
each day!

My God, your God has
set You over all creation
That is found in Heaven
and on the earth below

The stars bow down
to their beginning
and the moon knows
your hands…

The birds sing of your
glory and the animals
in the fields fear you
not, for they know
your love

They know you are God
their beloved creator
and that your God has
set you above all living
things

Providing the life breath
of the Holy spirit who
will guide us on the right
paths with his wisdom, and
understanding…

And whether here on earth,
or in heaven above, you
Lord, alone are worthy to
be praised endlessly by all
living things…

Always knowing they
glorify Your Father
also as they do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Psalms 145:10
All your works praise you, LORD; your
faithful people extol you.

Psalm 103:22
Praise the LORD, all his works everywhere
in his dominion. Praise the LORD, my soul.

REACHING OUT

With the beginning of each new day
There is a presence I cannot ignore
There’s a genuine calling to my spirit
And with the calling comes much more

I seek out your word in the morning
Before my loved one’s eyes awaken
For your word is life to me, dear Lord
Wanting in my life not to be forsaken

Of your presence as I start my day
I want always to be a part of you
As I pray and eat, of your living word
So I might accomplish all I seek to do

As I face the things that come my way
Meeting the world’s problems head-on
I know your love will deeply inspire me
And with your grace, I can do no wrong

I praise you, Lord, for always blessing me
Allowing my spirit to commune with you
Knowing daily as my spirit reaches to you
You’ll be there reaching out to me too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Deuteronomy 4:29
“But if from there you seek the Lord your God,
you will find him if you seek him with all
your heart and with all your soul”.

Psalm 63:1
“You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land where there is no
water”.

CALLED LOVE

You cannot touch me
from where you stand,
yet you cause my hands
to tremble…

I am but a faint vision
to your eyes at this
distance, yet I feel their
warm arresting embrace

You can do no harm to me
from where you are yet
the damage and harm is
already done

I seek a hiding place from
you, yet there is no place
to go for I cannot hide
from my own soul

Maybe if I close my eyes
I will be rid of you, yet
Your vision has become my
minds most desired thought

Even though there are no
visible shackles to see,
I have become a prisoner
Of my many thoughts of you

In a place where there are
no bars to keep me locked
in… yet I am held captive
by a loving keeper, and her
name is…love.

Written the second day
after meeting Deborah,
April 1977

OUR FOREVER LOVE

150287268000201-forever

Where in my life shall I ever find…you?
If, my darling love you would pass away
How, will I spend the minutes and hours
Of so many sad and lonely days

Where would I search, my dear, to find
The sweetness of your tender lips
If, my love, you became a buried treasure
Lost forever in serpentine mists

Where would I search and upon what cloud
To find the smile much brighter than the sun
If the one who possesses such a gift from God
Is so far away from her dear loved one

What would I then do each day in my life if
To my heart’s dearest treasure I said goodbye
I guess there would be no better fate for me
Than to sit alone in my deep sadness and die

For my love, you are so very irreplaceable
And there will never again be another you
So, if the day comes that you will pass away
I would surely pass away from this world too

…just to be with you.

This poem was inspired by a thirties
classic movie… I do not remember the
name of the movie but it was a gem, and
it made me think of the one I love,my
blessing!
