66. SHE IS MY LOVE
(November 5, 1985)
She is my love
She is my life
The day will come
She will be my wife
I wonder sometimes
How I ever lived without her
She has given to me so much
That she is all that I have
How can I feel
How can I see
How can I love
How can I be
Anything without her
She is everything that I’ve wanted
She is everything that I’ve needed
She is part of me
Sometimes I think
Where would I go
What would I do
How would I know
How to carry on without her
I could never live without her
I could never go on without her
She is all that I have
She is my love
She is my life
The day will come
She will be my wife
67. IT MEANS FOREVER
(November 6, 1985)
When I say
That I love you
It means
Forever
Yesterday, today
As well as tomorrow
We’ll always be
Together
You
Always know
That I’ll be there
Just for you
I love you
So much
And I’ll say that
I do
In good times
Or bad
And for better
Or worse
I think that
You’re great
Either crooked
Or straight
Because
We’re a team
Partners
Forever
The best friends
To tell
Our secrets
Together
You’re always
So special
To
Me
You are my lover
My partner, best friend
I’ll always love you
Forever till the end
68. WE HAVE A DREAM
(November 8, 1985)
She is my life
She is my soul
She gives me all that I want
All I could hold
She is my life
She is my soul
We walk through life
We walk holding hands
Her hand in mine
And mine in hers
We walk through life
We walk holding hands
Some days are glad
Others are sad
We will still carry on
No matter how hard
Some days are glad
Some days are sad
We have a dream
We hold in our hearts
That we are together as one
We are the same
We have a dream
We hold in our hearts
She is my love
I am her heart
We love each other so much
We can’t come apart
She is my love
I am her heart
She is my life
She is my soul
She gives me all that I want
All I could hold
She is my life
She is my soul
69. LIKE A RAINBOW
(November 8, 1985)
Her
Smile
Is like
A
Rainbow
That
Fills the
Sky
With light
And
Joy
Colors
That spread
Across
The
Land
To twinkle
And shine
Making me
Feel so
Wonderful
And grand
How
Can words
Express
The feeling
That
Fills me
Up
And makes
My life
Complete
Oh
What a
Special
Smile she
Has
And
Oh
What a
Lucky
Guy
I am
To have her
Smile
Like a
Rainbow
Giving
To me more
Than a pot
Of gold
Could ever
Hope
To give
70. SHOW US THE WAY
(November 8, 1985)
My Lord
Is my strength
And power
He
Gives me hope
Forever
I
Need His light
To follow
Through
Life’s dark paths
And sorrow
Trust
In His Word
To guide you
Hope
For His Grace
To save you
Pray
For His Spirit
To show us
The way
This brings me to the end of Chapter Five and my early poems. We are all products of both our genetics and our experience. Early on, I knew that writing thoughts and ideas down on paper would someday be important to me, and through tracing my history and experimentation with words, thoughts and emotions allows anyone to see the beginnings of a foundation being laid for my future writings, songs and this autobiographical blog called, “Life, Love and the Human Condition.” For anyone, young or old looking for advice on life, I say, find something that gives meaning and purpose to your life – and run with it. Find your passion and purpose in life. Even if you don’t “understand” what it means to you or why it means something to you. Over time you will begin to catch glimpses of meaning through it for your life, and in the very end, to have lived a life of meaning, passion and purpose - is all we could ever ask for.
