But there is so much there that they never see Rare precious moments that one cannot plan, Wealth that’s beyond mere silver or gold, Or the greatest treasure they hold in their hand From the first moment your love knew no limit, You filled my heart with joy they can’t understand, And my life is much richer because you are in it, We share a special bond they cannot comprehend. You know my heart and soul as has no other, Content to share in my joy and happiness, When my world is all wrong you stay by me And let me know the darkness won’t last. And when it happens, heaven calls you home, While my tears fall and my heart aches for you I’ll also remember all we have shared, and know My angel’s with me with a love forever true. © Candace I Chose This Time – Fall I chose this time to leave when the sun warms cool days When the leaves are all painted bright with the richness of life When the promise of restful dreams dance on the soft fall breezes When Autum blankets the earth against coming Winter’s strife I chose this time amid the falling leaves’ dance When if air is filled with the migrating calls of love When the earth is fragrant with richness of the year When the blessings of the harvest flow from above I chose this time so when you remember my leaving You will remember a day filled with sunshine and light You will recall a bright day filled with promise and hope You will see a time filled with the promise of new life I chose this time because I will always love you. © Candace ~~*~~ Here I Am When you look into the summer sky I am there. When you look into the eyes of a true friend I am there. When you hear a song that touches your heart it is I. When you feel the sun on your face it is a millon kisses from me. When someone calls you friend it is me saying those words to you. Look into the night sky and see the stars twinkle back at you it is a message from me saying find joy, I want you to be happy and find laughter in your life. When you give to others you are giving to me and I am there. Let other's touch your heart because I am reaching out to you through them. When you let someone in you will see the joy of love and be forever with me. Love never ends. Here I am ©J.C. Stewart~BarTendersBluesWolf ~~*~~ A View of Love I have seen the morning sun rise upon my window panes. I have seen the glory of the sun as sets at end of day. I have seen rebirth in the beginnings of each new day. I have heard the sounds cast in my mind of words unsaid. On a clear day, I can see forever in the skies above me. I have seen the love as soft eyes gazed gently into mine, I have known love on four legs, more so than ever I have two. I have had the pleasure of time that stands still in my mind. I have shared the silver of the teardrops as they fell, I have heard the words of others in much pain. There have been things I know left unsaid as time heals, But I have sensed those teardrops fall like rain. It is known the pain of words written for this heart that hurts, And words fill the gap that time has not yet felt the need to erase, You too have words that you too have yet to speak or write, About the great hurt of the tears that you wet upon your face. So let we who care share your pain with you my friends, Let not ever the glory of the rainbows shine be for naught. One day more shall we rise to smell the beauty of the rose. And once more in the web of great love shall we be caught. Yes you have known the glory of the sunrise as it burst upon the land, And seen it slowly drift across the meadow gently kissed with dew. You have felt its warming rays spread and warm your very soul, And you have known the love of four legs, just as you have two. You know this life as it stands is not without its grief, So Live on this life that you know you must fulfill, Until that day that you are called upon to go, And you will see the sunlight shine again upon your sill.
