4 Jon On Our 22nd Wedding Anniversary

Your love is
quite sensational –

Your laughter tastes
    like spring-time rain

Your tears smell
    like sweet lemon flower petals

Your voice looks
    so 
    deeply 
    majestic

Your heart sounds
    like exquisite violin and harp concertos

And your eyes!

Your eyes feel
    like early autumn sunset’s amber-gold lengthening glow

Oh, my love, your love
is entirely, completely,
embracingly

Sen-sational!

She Came...They Went (A Love Story)

Long black ribbon tied in a bow around his neck, 
handsomely he stood there...waiting
Hair neatly pulled back in a ‘french twist’,  small 
band with two feathers and a tiny veil about her 
head...gracefully, she came

She came...they went

The journey would not be easy...they both knew it...
but...there was love...
Then, there was God...and God’s love grew 

Percentages said it wouldn't last

Mountains of blessings...valleys of disappointment...
oceans of God's grace...in faith, they weathered the storms...
42 years......together

To Have and To Hold

You have some things
That I do not possess
That I need from you;
But will I be abased
And look to you to receive it
The way you will give it.

I have some things
That you do not hold
That you need from me;
But will you be humiliated
And look up to me to take it
The way I know to give it.

~*~he Called Part 2~*~

I was sitting upstairs with my aunt watching "Human Trafficking" when it happened.
It was almost 11PM, when my cell phone rang.
I looked at the phone and the caller ID read "My Baby Cell". 
I was thinking "What’s Wrong With Me? He Can’t Be Calling My Cell." 
I picked up the phone and he said "Ima call the house" and i said "o.k." 
I Went downstairs and talked to him over the phone.
He was so sweet. He told me once again that when he comes back from DR,
he's going to marry me, and that just made my day. 
He loves me and I love him. That's what matters.

~*~he Called~*~

OMG! You don't know how happy i am. 
I was sitting down watching TV when the phone rang.
I walked to the caller ID and guess what number I saw.
It was a number with an area code of (809), 
which is the area code of Santo Domingo (DR). 
I picked up the phone and on the other side, a sweet voice said,
"Hey baby, What you doing?" My heart literally jumped out of my chest. 
To hear his voice again was just so amazing. 
I can't explain the words of how I felt. It was just so amazing. 
I love him so much and I miss him a lot.
I'm just so happy he called.
He called!!!!!

Blinded By Red

In the blink of an eye you appeared.
 One word hello. 
 You had me from the start.
 I was yours, yours till the end.
 Your touch, your scent, they linger when your
 not near.
 I long for the sound of your voice.
your smile fills the room with the light of love.
 Your touch so electrifying.
 No other could be for you are a peace of heaven
 sent down just for me!

~*~20 and Counting~*~

I cant believe that it's been 20 days since i've seen my boyfriend 
And i've been so calm about it. 
I miss him so much. i miss his kisses. 
I miss his touch. 
He's the love of my life and
Someday i'll become his wife. 
Cant wait for him to come home fast.
I know that our love was mad to last.

~*~thankful~*~

I'm so thankful that I found you
You're My Love, My Life, And My Heart Too
You asked me something that I hold dear
Assuring me that you'll always be here
I've said Yes because I know in my heart
That we will never part
You're the best thing that has ever happened to me
I know that we were meant to be
these are the reasons why I'm thankful. 
thankful for you

I Love You

What do I mean when I say this to you?
It means I wish I could find the words,
To tell you what your love does for my life.
It means that no matter what happens,
You’ll always be my one and only.
It means that when I’m confused and lonely,
I look to you for help and comfort.
It means you’re my best friend.
It means I know you’re not perfect,
And I don’t expect you to be. 
It means when I look at you,
It’s my happiness I see. 
What does it mean when I say I Love You?
It means all of this and so much more!!!

Love Like Ours

Like a feather
We are twined togther
Like a kite
We will take a long flight
And see a beautiful sight
Like a bird 
We will glide through the skies
And there will be no lies
To disguise our eyes
And fly from above and below
We will bestow our love forevermore
LIke the sea 
There will be no ending and no beginning
To the current that moves us
Through the troubled waters
To the waves that smoothes and soothes us
Through the end of our days
LIke I saw you from the beginning
My love for you will not have an ending
