Seeds of Love

' With this ring
I give you my promise that from this day forward
You shall not walk alone.
May my heart be your shelter
And my arms be your home.

These words are just a fragment of the vows
exchanged between myself and my husband, Rick.
Darce Jean and I dedicate this page to our loving husbands
who have also emerged as our heroes,
our "forever friends," and our soft places to fall.

Mike and Rick -
"God bless you both for wanting to share the rest of your lives with us."

' With this ring
May we walk together through all thing
May you feel deeply loved, for indeed you are.
May you always see your innocence in my eyes.
I thank God
I thank you
Amen. '

Welcome,
and enjoy your stroll down our path - - -

Something Shared

He took me to a special place
Not many he has shown
Where the river bed now is seen
And the weeds have over grown.

But through his eyes I saw it change
To what it once had been
The water cool and rippling
Dry grass turned emerald green.

Gently by my hand he led me then
Back through his favorite years
Of sun-kissed days and starry nights
And secrets no one hears.

His laughter echoed through the woods
And intertwined with mine
Just like two kids of long ago
When everything was fine.

And by the smile that lit his face
I understood his need
To walk this place of childhood
Where Memories are freed.

Thank you, Rick for showing me
A place that means so much.
And in return, I'll share with you
A love no one can touch.

Companionship

It isn't that we talk so much!
Sometimes the evening through
You do not say a word to me
I do not talk to you.
I sit beside the reading lamp,
You like your easy chair,
And it is joy enough for me
To know that you are there!

It isn't that we go so much!
Sometimes we like to roam
To concert or to theater,
But best of all is home.
I sew a bit or read aloud
A book we want to share,
And it is joy enough for me
To know that you are there!


It isn't that you tell me
The thing I've come to know.
It goes to deep for words, I think,
The fact you love me so.
You only have to touch my hand
To learn how much I care,
And it is joy enough for me
To know that you are there!

...KISSED...

Just before
the man in the moon
tipped his hat
and bid the yawning stars
a fond farewell,
Just before
the incessant sun
stretched and made it's
grandiose entrance
with a radiant hello,
You kissed me
and the difference
between night and day
became
insignificant.

Love Is
Love is such a fickle thing
It can be soft as a feather
Or have a bee-like sting.
It can soar you to heights
Hang your heart on a star
Drop you down to your knees,
Mock your tears from afar.
Love is also a fragile thing
It needs special care -
Your constant understanding.
Your sleep might be disrupted
Your appetite seem strange
Often fever is detected
Emotions fight with change.
But if you can be patient
Allow life's dice to roll,
Love can be a blessed thing
For love can touch your soul.

It is that time
Just before slumber
When my eyelids
become heavy
My breathing
becomes deep
It is that time
I feel your hand
Lightly touch
the small of my back.
It is that time
our hearts together
beat evenly as one
Sweet rest.
