...to keep you mine

Let's celebrate love tonight
sealed with a kiss at midnight
And maybe a few dozen before
just to make sure we get it right

Let's celebrate us this year
by holding one another near
creating a safe place inside
and bringing each other here

Let's celebrate sharing this time
you give me fuel, I'll give you rhyme
I'll give my all to this endevor
trying my best to keep you mine

Your eyes twinkle

Somehow, the stars in your eyes twinkle
with the rythm of my heart
Gazing at the windows to your souls
I can't stop what it starts

Treasured Love

Over the years
of cheers and  tears
we remain together

Through it all
tall and small
sun and rainy weather

Me and You
made one of two
and here we are still standing

Treasured love
from heaven above
upon or hearts is landing

Our 20th Anniversary

On this our anniversary
I would have you fall in love with me
for another 20 years

I remember the day so clearly
and how you looked so lovely
even through my tears

In my eyes you look the same
as the day you took my name
and made me your forever

You are a blessing in my life
We are eternal as husband and wife
even time itself, our bond, won't sever

My perfect thought

I think about you all the time
thoughts of love become verse and rhyme
and make their way from head, ink
sometimes faster than I can think

You are the ever present voice I hear
the shining light to quiet fear
Thoughts of you calm my soul
and keep me and my world in control

I think of you when I rise
and as I pray before I close my eyes
I think you with me when I'm alone
and never have I felt like I'm on my own

Thanks for being my waking thought
and the reason for these flowers I bought
Thanks for just being you
My perect thought personified and true.

You are to me a gift
a life, a reason, a whispered breath
The word of peace
spoken soul to soul
The sweet release
only a lover knows
I still can't believe you are mine
and that we've lasted this long
a perfect past to a brighter time
a hurried poem to a powerful song

I will always treasure what you are
adding to  all that we may become
Our direction based on your star
our life's answer a simple sum

Open my heart

Under the tree
is a present from me
Something I'd like to share
A gift for you
one I knew
would show you how much I care

It is the gift of heart
of doing my part
to make sure your happy each day
It is the gift of touch
when its all to much
to let you know it will be okay
It is the gift of space
when you need a place
to be quiet and on your own
It is the gift of knowing
that I will alway be owing
and never repay your love's loan

I am the gift or I trying to be
everyday for the rest of eternity
Open my heart it's for you
I know its not a lot
but it is all that I've got
I hope it will see us through
