Some write songs
of love old and new,
others write books
of love so grand and true
But songs and books cannot describe
the real true meaning of love,
a love that comes from inside
From within the heart
a certain feeling grows,
it cannot be hid
for through your action it shows
It’s seen in the eyes
of both the young and old
It’s shown through their smile
that’s pure and gold
If everyone had one wish
they’d probably say,
“Love stay with me forever,
never go away.”
Are you the answer to my question?
Could it be you my love?
It makes me crazy wondering
if it’s you that’s my true love?
You give so much of yourself
to remind me that love is near
To search the feeling within my heart
will make it crystal clear
You’re the person, my answer,
my one and only love
You’re a gift sent special to me
straight from heaven above
To find an answer to true love
I needn’t go to far
For your heart reflects true love within and…
All that you are
Your sweet, caring smile
your warm and honest face
the caress of your loving hands
your soft and gentle embrace
You opened up my eyes
and turned my life around
You made me see true beauty,
showed me new joys abound
All because of you-
my dreams are close at hand,
my life is much more clearer,
my love is oh so grand
The warmth and kindness that you gave,
the strength you instilled in me,
your heart and soul is with me now-
with you I’ll always be
I’ve never known anyone
who could do these things to me,
You’ve shown me what love’s all about
you’ve taught the blind to see
The reflection in your eyes show me
that together, our love will go far,
for love reflects true beauty and…
All that you are
You’re a gift that’s truly priceless,
an angel from above
a heart filled with true beauty,
with an endless supply of love
All that you are,
all because of you,
my love has found a special place
my dearest, I love you.
All my life, I’ve lived so alone
searched and failed each time,
so many hearts drifting alone
not one to call my own
The feeling of love was all but a dream
seen in the eyes of others,
hearts that will share, eyes that show care
as only between two lovers
Since you walked into my life
my faith has grown so strong
my view of love is much clearer now
with you is where I belong
You’re the reason how my life is lived
and this I know is true
There can only be one love for me
cause love was found in you
You taught me things in life
and I have learned to give –
to loneliness I bid sweet adieu
The love that has filled me body and soul
is all because of you
You’re the reason – my heart I give
my love’s now alive and free
For you are my one and only love,
you are the one just for me.
Ever have one of those days when things just don’t seem to go your way or situations pop up that test your limits? We’re all faced with that time and time again; believe me, I’ve had my share ten times over and then some. There are other that have it even worse.
What I’m most curious about is how others cope with their personal struggles. How do they keep positive in light of all the bad things that are happening to them? What gives them the drive to face their dilemma head on and never give up?
When problems arise in my life, my “doom and gloom meter” starts to rise and my mind starts to go into overdrive about all the things I could’ve done to avoid this mess. My outlook starts to look depressingly hopeless and my daily routines are all out of whack.
I start to do normal things on auto-pilot all the while racking my brain on how to solve my problems or obstacles so that I can get back on track and live normally again.
When this happens, I start to get into a funk and feel like “Why does this always happen to me and when will it all end! Can’t I just get a break?!” Just when I see there is no solution to my turbulent mess, “a spark of hope” appears out of nowhere.
For me, that can come in the form of my dog greeting me at Mach speed with unconditional love and adoration. A big bear hug from my wife. It can even come from watching my kids simply do their homework or observing family members go about their daily routine. It’s amazing how something so small and mundane can make a difference.
Just the mere sight of them snaps me out of my much misaligned chaotic demeanor. It’s weird but seeing something like that, just soaking in those positive things gives me hope. Remembering all the good times and feeling so blessed to have a family like mine helps a lot; knowing that I overcame previous predicaments helps in the process. Maybe subconsciously I know that I have their undying love and support in my corner and I know I’m not facing my predicaments alone.
Can’t really explain it; I get a renewed sense of energy and endless possibilities about my life explode in my head…AND it’s all good. It feels as if nothing in the world can stop me from accomplishing anything and everything!
It’s funny how something so simple can become a beacon of unbridled optimism. Life doesn’t appear so bleak and I’m enthusiastically anticipating what’s in store for me in an hour, a day, a week or months from now. I begin to envision a more desirable and successful future for myself which might or might not happen. Who cares?!
My “spark of hope” is all that matters in driving my life forward. As long as I have that grain of reverie then everything is fine.
I can’t fathom how this process works but I’m just truly grateful that this “spark of hope” can do wonders for me. I just pray that this sparkle continues to light all of the dark and hard times that I’ll encounter in my life.
A twinkling in your eyes I see
in the darkness of the night,
all hurt and pain has left me now
cause I’ve finally seen the light
I don’t know how I’ve gone this far
without really knowing you,
my life has suddenly taken a turn
everything seems so new
In your eyes I see a vision,
in my heart I know it’s true
this feeling that grows from deep within
is all because of you
You’re all that I’m longing for
You’re all my dreams come true
My life would be so complete
If I could spend forever with you
It’s amazing how love really works
it’s astonishing to see,
You, out of all the strangers in the world
that was truly meant for me
Love is purely magical
in each and every way,
If my heart had a mind of its own
this is what it’ll say:
“Do you believe in magic?
I hope you really do,
cause the love that stirs from deep within
is all because of you
No part of me will let you go
You’re all my dreams come true
My life would be so complete
If I could spend forever with you”
I believe in love because
it’s special and so true,
cause it found it’s place within my heart
and I owe it all to you
I’ll always be there, by your side
You’re all my dreams come true
My love will you let me spend –
Forever With You.
I’ve been hurt too many times…
too much to count
I’m scared,
because I’m starting to feel cold inside
To have no feelings for another
is the most scariest thing to experience
That’s why I keep trying so hard
I keep coming back for more punishment,
for more heartbreak
Because to lose that feeling of caring
caring for someone…
means to die inside
Losing all the wonderful qualities
of one’s self –
Lost forever in a world of darkness.
My Friend…
Today you’ve left a space in my heart
a void that not anyone can make
To do this one has to unselfishly give of one’s self
You did just that and more
You gave yourself freely,
shown your love openly and unbiased,
gave your ear for someone to bend
and comforted a cold and lonely body
with your warmth and tenderness
Your companionship is unmatched
and your heart is forever captured
right here in my private treasure chest
where your love is kept safe
until it is ready to be freely shared
to the one who’s worthy and unselfish,
the one who will learn as well as accept
the gift of unconditional love
But until that time comes
my heart will not be whole,
for the space that was left
will be a most tremendous task to fill
Because the love that I’ve received
is but one of a kind
that is unique only to you,
…My Friend.
When I sit home all alone at night
and dream of what might be,
of finding that special someone to love
someone who’ll care for me
I look into the eyes of strangers that I meet
hoping to find my true love,
but what I really long to see
is an angel sent from heaven above
To find an angel here on earth
is a most difficult task to do,
but if the heart is pure as gold
a path’ll be shown straight and true
To follow this path is long and hard
more often vague than clear,
but if a feeling grows within one’s self
it proves that love is near
When one encounters this special feeling
they never take it at a glance,
for love is a difficult game to succeed at
it’s often left up to chance.
When something life changing happens in our lives, we no longer see the world as it once was. We tend to take things a little slower, take deeper breaths, smile more and soak in all the mundane and ordinary stuff that we normally overlooked in our hectic lives.
Why does it have to take something so drastic for us to stop and truly appreciate all that we have in life? We get so caught up in paying our bills, material things that we don’t really need and disregarding the time that could be spent with friends and loved ones.
Our society has us so desensitized as to what we really should be paying attention to. That’s just wrong. Granted there are a lot of terrible things happening in the world today but that shouldn’t stop us from really taking stock in what’s most important in our lives.
A good laugh, reminiscing on all the great times we’ve experienced, watching your kids growing up, hugging and kissing your spouse, spending quality time with your parent, give thanks for our parents for raising us, cuddling your pet, getting soaking wet in the rain…just the simple things.
We all need to get out of daily routine once in a while and truly enjoy what we have around us. If we could just do that every so often, our lives will have much more meaning…much more value.
Please don’t let a tragedy occur in order for us to really see all the great things in front of us that we ignored. Enjoy life because it really is too short. Do what makes you laugh, smile, sing or dance. Thank God for the life you’ve had and for what you’ve got. Help those around you in need of assistance. Create a bucket list and starting living before life has passed you by.
Love Hard, Laugh Hard and Live Hard! Live for yourself, live for your loved ones…live without fear and unabashed enthusiasm!
There were many times I wished and dreamed
while lying in my bed
of a girl so beautiful, so perfect
like in the books I so often read
I’ve tried and tried
I’ve looked so hard
to find a girl for me
but many times when I’ve tried too hard
I wound up in misery
Till one fine day you came along
you woke me from my dream
you answered all my wishes
made my cold heart turn to cream
Your pretty face, your caring smile
your soft and gently way
you’ve filled a space within my heart
gave hope for a brighter day
On this special day, I give to you
love, support and care
qualities you graciously gave
the traits we now commonly share
I’ve never experienced such happiness
from a girl with a heart so true
to the only girl who stole my heart
My dearest – I Love You!
