You take my hand and together we walk,
Then we sit awhile and we lovingly talk.
Your eyes look at me so full of love,
My heart is thanking God above.
There is so much life that we have to live,
Finally to you my heart I give.
You smile and hold me oh so close,
You’re the one I love and need the most.
At last I know my dreams come true,
For here I am in love with you.

See the beauty as love surrounds us
Notice the peace that also abounds
Feel the tranquility in all of its uniqueness
In the air and upon the grounds.

People walking along side by side
Many others walking hand in hand
A pleasant gait pursuing a stride
Opening up avenues to expand.

Smiling faces sends pleasant sensations
To those who feel that this is a must
It produces all kinds of elation
Gathers in an everlasting trust.

A love comes from deep in the heart
Splendid and vivid it is so fine
Unconditionally it becomes impart
Can only be described as being divine.

Simple words cannot convey
All the love that I hold for you
More brilliant than any sunset
Sweeter than the morning’s dew

You are each beat of my heart
Every single breath that I take
The last thought in the darkness
The very first when light awakes

You are my life and essence
Together we’ll face each trial
Walking the path God has chosen
Embracing each blessing and mile

This love for you surrounds me
Within its beauty I often hide
The very moment I first held you
Forever in my heart you will reside

Grow old with me, my darling stay
Beside me as we walk our way
Through life’s uncertainties. Be my light
Through stormy days and dark of night.

You are my half, you make me whole,
You are the mirror of my soul.
Without you, life would make no sense.
Between us there is no pretense.

You know my thoughts before I speak.
You lend me strength when I am weak.
You tell me things I need to hear.
And, even then, you hold me dear.

Grow old with me, my darling stay.
I need you more and more each day.
Grow old with me, my heart implores.
We’ll live in love forevermore.

It feels so good to hold you
In my arms just so tight
The longer I lay and hold you
It makes my world a little more right

It feels so good to hold you
That I don’t ever want to let go
It don’t matter what time of day
Or what direction the wind may blow

It feels so good to hold you
Both as a lover and a friend
You are just what I needed
To help this wounded heart to mend

It feels so good to hold you
By now you should have a clue
That I’ve always been honest
Everytime I said “I LOVE YOU”

I will love you until
The waters all dry
Until the sun stops shining
And there are no stars in the sky

Until the flowers won’t bloom
And the birds won’t sing
Until it is the end
Of every living thing

Until the song has no tune
And the grass won’t grow
The rain won’t come
And winter has no snow

Until the mountains so high
Crumble to the valley below
Until the flag wont fly
And the river won’t flow

Until the trees won’t stand
And the air is still
These are the days
That I will love you until

I’ll write your name across the sky
For all the world to see
So everyone throughout the world
Knows, You belong to Me.

I’ll write your name into the sand
Of every beach on earth,
So everyone will see Our love
And know of it’s true worth.

I’ll write Your name upon My heart,
So I can cherish You.
I hope you’ll write my name on yours
And Cherish My love, Too!

Love You!

When you are around
I feel I can take on the
World

When you speak
I Feel every word you
Speak

When you move
I feel every movement
You make

When you touch my hand
I feel that I can fly or just
Go on for miles

When your heart beats
I feel everyone of your
Heartbreaks

When you laugh
I can hear the tension in
Your voice

When you leave
my heart anticipates
The moment you will return

Love… in Sickness & in Health

The passengers on the bus watched sympathetically as the attractive young woman with the white cane made her way carefully up the steps. She paid the driver and, using her hands to feel the location of the seats, walked down the aisle and found the seat he’d told her was empty. Then she settled in, placed her briefcase on her lap and rested her cane against her leg. It had been a year since Susan, 34, became blind. Due to a medical misdiagnosis she had been rendered sightless, and she was suddenly thrown into a world of darkness, anger, frustration and self-pity. And all she had to cling to was her husband, Mark.

Mark was an Air Force officer and he loved Susan with all his heart. When she first lost her sight, he watched her sink into despair and was determined to help his wife gain the strength and confidence she needed to become independent again.

Finally, Susan felt ready to return to her job, but how would she get there? She used to take the bus, but was now too frightened to get around the city by herself. Mark volunteered to drive her to work each day, even though they worked at opposite ends of the city. At first, this comforted Susan, and fulfilled Mark’s need to protect his sightless wife who was so insecure about performing the slightest task. Soon, however, Mark realized the arrangement wasn’t working. Susan is going to have to start taking the bus again, he admitted to himself. But she was still so fragile, so angry how would she react?

Just as he predicted, Susan was horrified at the idea of taking the bus again. “I’m blind!” she responded bitterly. “How am I supposed to know where I am going? I feel like you’re abandoning me.”

Mark’s heart broke to hear these words, but he knew what had to be done. He promised Susan that each morning and evening he would ride the bus with her, for as long as it took, until she got the hang of it.

And that is exactly what happened. For two solid weeks, Mark, military uniform and all, accompanied Susan to and from work each day. He taught her how to rely on her other senses, specifically her hearing, to determine where she was and how to adapt to her new environment. He helped her befriend the bus drivers who could watch out for her, and save her a seat.

Finally, Susan decided that she was ready to try the trip on her own. Monday morning arrived, and before she left, she threw her arms around Mark, her temporary bus-riding companion, her husband, and her best friend. Her eyes filled with tears of gratitude for his loyalty, his patience, and his love. She said good-bye, and for the first time, they went their separate ways.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday… Each day on her own went perfectly, and Susan had never felt better. She was doing it! She was going to work all by herself.

On Friday morning, Susan took the bus to work as usual. As she was paying the fare to exit the bus, the driver said, “Boy, I sure do envy you. “

Susan wasn’t sure if the driver was speaking to her or not. After all, who on earth would ever envy a blind woman who had struggled just to find the courage to live for the past year? Curious, she asked the driver, “Why do you say that you envy me?”

The driver responded, “It must feel good to be taken care of and protected like you are.”

Susan had no idea what the driver was talking about, and again asked, “What do you mean?”

The driver answered, “You know, every morning for the past week, a fine-looking gentleman in a military uniform has been standing across the corner watching you as you get off the bus. He makes sure you cross the street safely and he watches until you enter your office building.

Then he blows you a kiss, gives you a little salute and walks away. You are one lucky lady.”
