Every day I remember the smile
that won my heart and restores
my faith.

Uncertain and always doubtful;
wrestling fear for the courage to
acquiesce.

In the sweet quiet of perfection
satiated; I am cradled in your
love.

The love that smiles
back at me; unique
as the planet and just as round.

Hold me with your tenderness
as I build castles in the sky.

The night that brings you to
my bed;a welcome friend.

Every day I remember the smile
that won my heart and restores
my faith.

That gift,
my God
my thanks
to thee.

LOVE HAS IT'S PRICE

Building bridges to love
guides love to your door.

When two souls decide that
together they will share a life
that commitment is whole.

The balance lays barren and uncharted.

Bold travelers call forth the courage of destiny and
set out to chart new terrain.

In the midst of the
journey lay cliffs and valleys; strew with the charred remains
of old relationships.
Perserve the glitter in your lover's eyes;
summon the strength of your resolve.

There are no maps marked X where treasure can be found.
The winds of circumstance swirl with a fury at times or gently as
the ground beneath your feet turns to sand.

Many ships will be lured to the hidden rocks as land beckons beyond each horizon.
Torn and battered wrecks limping from dry dock to dry dock.
Many will jump ship afraid of the
dark mysteries of the deep.

Love has it's price.

Riding the tossing waves and battering winds.

Love has it's price.

Treasure as timeless and true as the call to mate;
fear only that love may pass you by.
Know the price.
Accept the cost.
Take the risk!
