Touched by An Angel

Touched by An Angel
-Maya Angelou 
We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight

live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.

Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.

We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.

Be Happy. God Bless.

You Are My Dream Come True

You Are My Dream Come True -Cheryl Ann
Always in my heart 
you make me feel more loved 
than I've ever felt 
and happier than I've ever dreamed. 
The love and understanding you have 
is something I have searched for 
my entire life. 
Always in my happiest 
and saddest moments, 
you are my best friend and confidante. 
I come to you for everything, 
and you listen to me without judgment.
Always, deep within my soul, 
I know we have a love like no other. 
What we share is something others 
only hope for and dream of, 
but few ever experience. 
Our love is magical beyond belief. 
Always, without hesitation, 
you give of yourself completely. 
You have reached the very depths of my soul, 
bringing out emotions I never knew I had 
and unveiling an ability to love 
I never thought possible.
Always and forever 
you will be my dream come true, 
the one I have waited for all these years. 
From now until the end of time, 
I will love only you. 
We will be together always.

Be Happy. God Bless.

TRUE LOVE

TRUE LOVE
~ By Author Unknown ~

True love is a sacred flame
That burns eternally,
And none can dim its special glow
Or change its destiny.
True love speaks in tender tones
And hears with gentle ear,
True love gives with open heart
And true love conquers fear.
True love makes no harsh demands
It neither rules nor binds,
And true love holds with gentle hands
The hearts that it entwines.
Be Happy. God Bless.

Handfasting

These are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and full of love for you,
that are holding yours on your wedding day,
as you promise to love each other today, tomorrow, and forever.
These are the hands that will work alongside yours,
as together you build your future.
These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you through the years,
and with the slightest touch,
will comfort you like no other.
These are the hands that will hold you when fear or grief fills your mind.
These are the hands that will countless times wipe the tears from your eyes;
tears of sorrow, and tears of joy.
These are the hands that will tenderly hold your children.
These are the hands that will help you to hold your family as one.
These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it.
And lastly, these are the hands that even when wrinkled and aged,
will still be reaching for yours,
still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch.
Be Happy. God Bless.

This Journey

This Journey - Author Unknown
Having you in my life
Has made everyday special,
I smile when I have you close
And treasure each and every moment.
 just take my hand
So we can walk together
This journey that we are on
May climb hills, valleys and mountains
But once we’re home
We’re safe and sound
And together we’ll be forever.

Be Happy. God Bless.

How Do I Love Thee

How Do I Love Thee? 
By Elizabeth Barrett Browning 

How do I love thee? 
Let me count the ways. 

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height 
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight 

For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. 
I love thee to the level of every day's 

Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight. 
I love thee freely, as men strive for right; 

I love thee purely, as they turn from praise. 
I love thee with the passion put to use 

In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. 
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose 

With my lost saints - I love thee with the breath, 
Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose, 
I shall but love thee better after death.


"Many are the starrs I see, 
but in my eye no starr like thee." 
 

Be Happy. God Bless.

Every Second Beat

Every Second Beat - Mark Liverance

If I had a thousand pages,
I could never name them all,
The reasons that I love you,
For the list would be too tall.

I love you for the melody,
I hear within your voice.
The way your blue eyes hold me,
A captive, but by choice.

I love you for your gentle hands,
That melt away my pain.
I love you for your loving heart,
That made mine beat again.

I love you for your loving smile,
With which my old heart soars.
These are some of the reasons,
Every second beat is yours.

Forever Love

Love is in the air and a friend of mine e-mailed me this poem, which she wants  me to share with all my blog readers because she think its truly a touching poem of a loving heart.


Love Forever - Alice Walker

 I could walk a thousand miles,
Just to see your perfect smiles.
Although I see what they don't,
They are missing what I w'ont.
My love will always stay pure and clear,
For your the one I do not fear.
Forever and always I'll stay strong,
For you my dear you are my bond.

Through clouds above and stars beyond,
My love, the thing I'm always fond,
Will stick with you forever end,
Our heart and soul will always blend.
While people might think were playing pretend
We will stan to defend
Your in my mind your in my heart,
Nothing can ever break us apart.

Combined as one,
Our life, Our Love
Will Love Forever.

Be Happy. God Bless.

What Actually Love Is

A friend of mine e-mailed me this beautiful note which I thought to share with you all and I hope you will know from this what actually love is-



What Actually Love Is- Author Unknown

Why do we close our eyes when we sleep? When we cry?
When we imagine? When we kiss?
This is because the most beautiful things in
the world are unseen.

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird
and when we find someone whose weirdness
is compatible with ours,
we join up with them and fall in
mutual weirdness and call it love.

There are things that we never want to let go of,
people we never want to leave behind,
but keep in mind that letting go isn't the end of the world,
it's the beginning of a new life.

Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt,
those who have searched and those who have tried.
For only they can appreciate the importance of the people
who have touched their lives.

A great love? It's when you shed tears and still
you care for him,
it's when he ignores you and still you long for him.
It's when he begins to love another and yet you still smile
and say I'm happy for you.

If love fails, set yourself free,
let your heart spread its wings and fly again.
Remember you may find love and lose it, but when love dies,
you never have to die with it.

The strongest people are not those who always win
but those who stand back up when they fall.

Somehow along the course of life,
you learn about yourself and realize
there should never be regrets,
only a lifelong appreciation of the choices you've made.

A true friend understands when you say, I forgot,
waits forever when you say, just a minute,
stays when you say leave me alone,
opens the door even before you knock and says can I come in?

Loving is not how you forget but how you forgive,
not how you listen but how you understand,
not what you see but how you feel,
and not how you let go but how you hold on.

It's more dangerous to weep inwardly rather than outwardly.
Outward tears can be wiped away while secret tears scar forever.

In love, very rarely do we win
but when love is true, even if you lose,
you still win just for having the tingle of loving someone
more than you love yourself.

There comes a time when we have to stop loving someone
not because that person has stopped loving us
but because we have found out
that they'd be happier if we let go.

It's best to wait for the one you want than settle for one that's available.
Best to wait for the one you love than one who is around.
Best to wait for the right one
because life is too short to waste on just someone.

Sometimes the one you love turns out to be the one who hurts you the most,
and sometimes the friend who takes you into his arms
and cries when you cry
turns out to be the love you never knew you wanted.

If you really love someone never let go,
don't believe that letting go means that you love best,
instead fight for your love,
that's what true love is.

Laugh to your heart's content; you cannot go
through life without it.

Be Happy.God Bless.

Year Round Valentine

Year Round Valentine- Joanna Fuchs

 I love you all through February,
Not just on Valentine’s Day;
I cherish you when flowers of spring
Appear in the midst of May.
I adore you in the summer,
When the air is filled with heat;
Without you in my life each day,
I wouldn’t be complete.
I treasure you in fall,
When leaves are turning gold;
I loved you when you were younger;
I’ll love you when you’re old.
I prize you in the winter,
When colder days are here;
I love you, love you all the time,
Every minute of the year.
So I’ll give to you this Valentine,
But I want to let you know,
It’s not just today, but always,
That I will love you so.


Wish you all A Very Happy Valentine’s Day!

Be Happy. God Bless.

Love In Your Heart

A bell is no bell 'til you ring it,
A song is no song 'til you sing it,
And love in your heart
Wasn’t put there to stay -
Love isn’t love
'Til you give it away.
-Oscar Hammerstein

Be Happy. God Bless.

Keep Sweet

Keep Sweet- Strickland Gillilan

Don't be foolish and get sour when things don't just come your way-
Don't you be a pampered baby and declare, "Now I won't play!"
Just go grinning on and bear it;
Have you heartache? Millions share it,
If you earn a crown, you'll wear it-
Keep sweet.

Don't go handing out your troubles to your busy fellow-men-
If you whine around they'll try to keep from meeting you again;
Don't declare the world's "agin" you,
Don't let pessimism win you,
Prove there's lots of good stuff in you-
Keep sweet.

If your dearest hopes seem blighted and despair looms into view,
Set your jaw and whisper grimly, "Though they're false, yet I'll be true."
Never let your heart grow bitter;
With your lips to Hope's transmitter,
Hear Love's songbirds bravely twitter,
Keep sweet.

Bless your heart, this world's a good one, and will always help a man;
Hate, misanthropy, and malice have no place in Nature's plan.
Help your brother there who's sighing.
Keep his flag of courage flying;
Help him try-'twill keep you trying-
Keep sweet.

Be Happy And Stay Healthy.
