Sonnet 18

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate...

When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

By William Shakespeare

How Do I Love Thee --------

How do I love thee?
Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of every day's Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.

I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love with a passion put to use In my old grief's, and with my childhood's faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints, -- I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life! -- and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.

~ By Elizabeth Barrett Browning ~

Love Is -------

Love is patient;

Love is kind.

Love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude.

It does not insist on its own way: it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrong doing, but rejoices in truth.

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

And now faith, hope, and love abide, and the greatest of these is love.

Your Fire ----------

I heard you think of me last night. Through the miles and the distant, I heard you think of me. Just as plain as if you were right here beside me. I watched the flames as they burned so delicately..... A sparkle here and a soft flicker there.....

It brought me back to the way it use to be.

The times when all I would ever do would be to think of you. Think of your wit and charisma. Think of how every word you ever said charmed me.

Looking deeper into the fire,

I let it seep deep within my soul.

All at once, my self built walls started to crumble. A new and better world came into sight.

That wall that had blocked and hardened my mind for so long now, started to finally disappear.

So comforting, such a warmth to my soul .

All at once I realized this was no ordinary fire......

It had brightened my life to new light.......

THIS WAS without a doubt---------

YOUR FIRE................

What I love.......

I love sunrises and sunsets. I love mountains and lakes. I love animals and all that the great outdoors has to offer. So amazing!

I love to listen to Kenny G play his sax like theres nothing else that could ever even come close to comparison. I love to hear Michael Bolton sing.

I love the way you smile at me and the way you laugh. I love your silly sense of humour and they way you make me feel when you are near.

I love to watch you kick your feet in the sand. I love the way my heart pounds at just the thought of knowing that you are here with me. That I am your world, and that you are mine.

I love the Opera and being the one by your side. I love the way your eyes light up when you hear Sara Brightman singing in a voice that could conquer the world.

I love your caring nature and how everything else in this life comes before your pleasures. I've often wondered if you were really an angel in disguise.

I love you. I loved you then, I love you now, and I will love you until I am no more.
And that's what I love.......

I want to put my arms around you -------

I wish that I could wrap my arms around you. I long to touch you. To feel your body next to mine. When I think of you, time stands still for me. There is nothing else, no one else, only you. I have waited a lifetime for your gentle touch. To feel you touch my skin oh so gently, to look deep into your eyes and explore your entire being. To see inside your soul.

I want to lay beside you and never again think of how empty my life was without you. To gently caress your hair and watch you simply breathe.

You are so amazing to me. Everything about you in my eyes is so very perfect. The way you look, the way you smell, the way you make me feel.

I never want to go back to a life without you....
I just want to put my arms around you......

Knock Down The Wall -----------------

You built a wall around your heart. Don't get me wrong, I understand why.

She hurt you. She tore you up inside. I do understand.

Together, we can KNOCK DOWN THAT WALL .

The Butterfly ................

I saw a butterfly today. I watched how delicate it was. How it fluttered its little wings just right to take flight to its next destination. Its colors were so vivid. So unique and so unlike any other.

Once again, I thought of you. It seems that everything I do, every road I turn, it always leads me back to you.

Just as the butterfly , you are unique and as no other ------


And on your wings, I can soar FOREVER!!!!!!
You are my butterfly and I love you ............................

I Woke Up Today ---------

I woke up this morning to a sky filled with blue birds singing....... the dogs were playing out and running up and down the road as they had done the day before and the day before that.

I thought of all of the changes that I have been through in my lifetime..... Some for the good, some not so good, but still moving on none the less.

I remembered the way I felt when we use to talk all of the time. A smile came across my face. The way you touched my heart, my mind, my soul. The way you would always make me realize that no matter what "THIS" day held, tomorrow would only get better!

I thought of how much you really do mean to me, without even realizing the extent until just now..... And then I thought.....

MY FRIEND! Im so glad to have you.

Titanic ----

The Movie, TITANIC, is probably my favorite movie of all time without a doubt!
What a truly magnificent love story! I have probably watched it a thousand times and can even quote most of the entire movie word for word. To me, it shows the absolute true meaning of love. Love can surpass all obstacles. It can even go beyond the boundaries of life and death. It can truly cross over. Love has no status as rich nor poor. It can touch anyone , from any social standing and at any time without notice. A promise of love... I'll never let go... NEVER! And never will I!

Everynight in my dreams, I see you, I feel you... That is how I know you go on... Far across the distant and spaces between us.......

The heart truly does go on and on and then some.......

Titanic....

If you havent watched this movie, YOU MUST!

And if you have and still dont get it, watch it again.....

When you finally get it.... You will have arrived......

Goodnight My Friend.....

The night has fallen once again. Its time to go for now.
To each one of you, a fond farewell.
Take the time to tell the one you love how much you love them.
Reach out to those in need, comfort those of whom need comfort.
Kiss the cheek of your child and tuck them neatly into bed.
Drift into that peaceful sleep and look forward to waking into
that wonderful new day.
Until then, I wish you love and happiness. I wish you the will and strength to
carry on from one day to the next and a true desire to explore life to the
fulliest!

Goodnight my friend.............

Time To Let You Go......

It's Time to let you go ---- But he misses you so.

So young, Innocent without knowing.....

Reaching far beyond your years.

Wide open and without fear.

Reaching so far beyond your years.

No looking back now. Running.

Flying without wings.

At once, you are gone ----

Without warning, There are no goodbyes.

Im sorry that I never told you all that I needed to say.....

Time to let you go for now..... Together , again ----

SOMEDAY.......

My Life, My Love......

My life is full of happiness,
My heart so full of love ---

I gaze into our distant past,
Still you're the one I love.

If I could have but one wish,
And only it come true ---

I'd wish that everyday thats left,
Could be spent loving you.

I heard you whisper my name.....

I heard you whisper my name today. I could see your smile -----
Your expression so bright that it could like up a dark and baron night.....
You reached out to touch me, so close, yet still so very far away......

Reaching out to me -----

Come closer ----- Come closer........ I thought as the distance of the memory pushed you away........

I reached out for you ----
I heard you whisper my name.

I Thought Of You Today......

You crossed my mind again today.

Just as you have so many, many times before......

I can still remember how you loved me, protected me, and always stood so firm by me.....

I was always so safe with you. You were so loving, so caring, so nurturing.....

Your love so undenyable......

I always knew where I stood with you.

I know our love has withstood the bonds of time.........

I know you watch over me. I still feel your love.
One day , I know we will be together again.

I THOUGHT OF YOU AGAIN TODAY..... AND I SMILED.

What will I make of this new day?????

What will I make of this new day?

I woke up to the sun glaring down upon us. What another beautiful morning! Just as bright as it has ever been! The deer were running and jumping as if they were playing just as the children do. The birds chirping and enjoying the seed I had left out just for them.... The air so cold and brisk, but yet still so very inviting.... Another day! Oh yes! Another day in paradise....

Life is what we each make of it..............

What will you make of this new day???????..............

I Woke Up This Morning......

When I awoke this morning.... I ran up town and mailed a package, came home and cooked then cleaned up... The normal things most of us do from day to day. Hectic busy schedules, coming and going and never stopping to take the time to just breathe... to relax. I decided to go outside , get the horses out, let them roam and eat and to fall out on the ground and just "BREATHE"! Oh how nice! To hear the calm... to feel the gentle breeze blowing through my hair... to hear the creeks little waterfalls in the distant background. I looked up at the beautiful bright blue sky and saw the fluffy white clouds floating abundantly. Oh what a sight to see... The kids playing in the soft background ... and I thought, NOW THIS IS LIFE! Never let a day go by without feeling and seeing what life really is. There is so much in the simplicities of life. I love to let nature surround me. To let its calming embrace take over me. To wipe my mind totally... my thoughts go back to years gone by. To memories that sometimes overwhelm me. I remember skipping rocks across the old strip pit lake... How much fun that was. Running in the rain and coming in just soaking wet. Lying on the ground and rolling down that small but steep little hill in my neighbors yard. Rolling down to the bottom and jumping right back up just to do it all over again. Now that my friend, thats living! That is the true meaning of life. Clear your mind and let those memories fill your heart. Having a bad day? Feeling alone? When I woke up this morning............
