My Best Friend

A candle light dinner
soft music and a rose,
Glass of red wine and
the sand between our toes.

Watching the sunset with a
cool breeze in the air,
The first star twinkles as I
see your beauty oh so rare.

With your head on my soldier
we watch the waves roll in,
Laughing and talking about all
of the places we've been.

Although you're my wife,
your also my best friend.
I love you with all my heart
and that will never ever end.

Life

Sometimes life can be

bright and beautifull

No cares or worries,

no problems at all.

A life that holds

such treasures as;

Joy, peace, love and

happieness.

Each dy that I spend with

you is like no other.

You always seem to know

just what to do.

I cherrish each moment and

look forward to the day,

Can this be what is real

or am I in a haze.

This is te life that I

always dreamed of,

now I have it and so

much more.

You are my life and the

most precious treasure

life can give.



Forever Yours

I think about the day that

we first met,

How my life changed with

no regret.

Te countless hours that turned

into days,

Lift my heart floating

in a haze.

I think about the sunshine

of you smile,

How you made my life complete

from which there is no denial.

Oh how I miss those times when

you would just hold me.

Meeting your family and you showing

your love so openly.

I think of all the memories

we have together,

living on my own is like a ship

caught in bad weather.

I count the hours that

we are a part;

Like an arrow it Perice's

my heart.

How I wish you were

still here,

Now that my mind

is clear.

It was my fault that you

had to let me go;

Through this time it has helped

me to grow.

Now it's just a Memory

that I hold,

Has our love really

gone cold?

On this Valentine's Day, I

wish we were together;

For you are in my

heart forever.

Beauty & Grace

My heart yearns to

see your face;

To hear your voice,

Oh such beauty and grace.

The hours grow longer

in this time we're apart;

I pray for you daily so

we can have a fresh start.

I knw it won't be easy and

i don't want you to cry;

Together we'll go through the storm,

always and forever, you and I.

No matter what this

world may hold;

We have a love that will

never, ever grow old.



Seventy Years

Mom and Pop what can

I say,

Today is your day

So let the music play.

We gather together to

Say a prayer;

All this time an still

No grey hair.

You've een through good times

and had som bad;

but you stayed together

for which I a glad.

Seventy years of love

now that's nt bad;

I am so proud that 

Your my Mom and Dad!

A Hundred Years Ago

Thinking of the days of old
and all the stories told.
I can't but think of you sitting
in the early morning dew.

Wondering if you had fixed the choke
or was old Susie finally broke?
The little rings of smoke that came from
your stogie that I loved to poke.

Setting by the fire at night while you
told of how you use to fight.
Going to the county fairs were so much
fun and watching as your tie came undone.

The times when it was just us boys leaving
Mom to fix what we destroyed.
Often these memories come back to me;
and wondering if you knew how it would be.

One hundred years ago, you took your first breath,
where has the time gone since your death?
It seems like yesterday you were teaching me how to drive,
now I teach others how swim and dive.

I love you Papa, more then you knew.
As I watched, an eagle soars in the sky above,
on his wings I send you my love.

Happy Birthday
PAPA

What Is Friendship

A friendship is not made of the things
that you give,
It's made of love and support in the
way we live.

A life made of emptiness and full
f strife,
Will only lead to a heart without
life.

Words of life come from our Father
in heaven above;
Not bitterness, or jealousy for the
things that we only dream of.

Alas, I wish that you could have
been a part
Of a  friendship that will always remain
in my heart.

Friendship is not made of what the
world can give,
It's found in the words we share and
how we live.

When I Pray

Although the time has been
very short,
You must move on now
with a brand new start.

Remember all the
house rules,
They will always be your
best tools.

Wishing you all the best
for a brand new day,
I will always remember you
when I pray.

Mom

In this anniversary of
your birth,
May these few words fly
to heaven from earth.

All the joy and laughter
we once shared,
Is now a loving memory
of how you cared.

Happy Birthday Mom.
With love from my heart
now and forever in my life,
you are apart.

True

When you care for someone
you want to fill their days,
with laughter and fun.

Share all of their sorrow
and give them peace
for tomorrow.

When you truly love
someone with all of your heart,
they're all you dream of.

This is how I feel about you!
Now you know that
my heart is true.
