While My Love Sleeps

The moonlight through the window

Shows the beauty of her face

Sleeping here beside me

In this very sacred place

Where fantasy can never match
The passion that's found here
Lying with my Angel love
The one I hold so dear
Holding her so closely
Where two hearts beat as one
Our journey born of magic
Has barely just begun
I wait until the first light
To wake her with my touch
While whispering an oath to her
This heart I love so much
I cling to every moment
As I have from the start
To build sustaining memories
For when we are apart
For this sweet sleeping Angel
Means all the world to me
Her love makes me believe I am
The man she sees in me
So sleep, my darling Angel
May all your dreams come true
But dreams can never match this love
The love I feel for you

The Magic of You

So many reasons

And so little time

To try to put down

All these feelings in rhyme

Whispered I love yous

A sweet, loving touch

The sound of your laughter

All matter so much

No matter the distance

Wherever you are

My love is there with you

No matter how far

I never imagined

Such dreams could come true

Until I found the magic

Of love that is you

Now Until Forever

In two more days I'll hold you

For two nights in my arms

Two more mornings waking up

Surrendering to your charms

Sharing your sweet company

The pleasures in your smile

Savoring each moment

To last me for awhile

Every hour is heaven

That passes by too fast

Every word a vow of love

A love we know will last

You fill my days with laughter

With passion every night

Till slumber brings sweet comfort

That lasts till morning’s light

So, I will make a pledge to you

My love to freely give

And treasure this sweet love we share

As long as we both live

For The One I Love

I had given up on reasons to believe

That love would ever find this aging heart

So far into this tapestry we weave

Much closer to the end than to the start

Counting all the losses I have known

The loved ones I had lost along the way

Afraid this tender heart would turn to stone

A victim of the price I had to pay

I focused on the things that I could change

Believing love could only live in dreams

I tried so hard this heart to rearrange

Where everything is simply as it seems

Then I opened my heart up to a friend

When the walls I had built came crumbling down

She taught me how to somehow smile again

She healed me every time she was around

In time my heart began to realize

The moments that we shared were far too rare

This lady with this kindness in her eyes

Taught me once again that I could care

And then one day she opened up to me

And spoke the words I never thought I’d hear

A love I never thought could ever be

Was given by an Angel I held dear

The heart I had somehow forever changed

With the magic of her tender loving touch

She filled it with her love and rearranged

This heart of mine that needed her so much

And now my world is filled with love and light

My lonely heart has learned to love again

This love we found together is so right

And I will always love you, Norma Lynn

My Gift

In every waking moment

And every dream at night

Your love is right here with me

I’m walking in your light

With every conversation

And every time we touch

There is sweet satisfaction

In being loved this much

Although the miles between us

Can seem so far apart

You’re always walking with me

Tucked safely in my heart

You’re my present and my future

You’ve healed my troubled past

You’ve given me the greatest gift

This love I know will last
