More Than Just A Memory

When they think of you
It's different than what I see
They see you as a particular image
But you're more than just a memory

You are my here and now
A thing that lasts through time and space
A blessed gift  for eternity
A product of God's true grace

These are the things you taught me
You showed me what to do
This is my way of acknowledging that
And another way to say "I love you"

He Is

Ishi is is so good to me
This is what I know
I love the way he is to me
The way he lets it show

When others put me down
He is always there
To put a smile upon my face
To bring me much good cheer

Though he lives so far away
We're standing side by side
He catches me when I fall
He never lets me slide

Sometimes I feel unworthy
Of his lovingness towards me
He scoffs and says "Hey, you
Were made for me, silly.

The only thing I ask of you
Is to take your place next to me
If you keep what you're supposed to
Things will turn out beautifully."

I don't know what I did
To deserve such a wonderful man
But I vow to pray for and love him
Every minute of the day I can.

Without

A queen
Without her king
Such a very
Very sad thing

She tries to be strong
Be the tears still drop
She feels she can't breathe
Her heart wants to stop

She's been given her orders
That she must wait
She's surrendered to His will
Because He's never late

Still she is sad, though
This queen without her king
She knows it's worth waiting for
And will be a beautiful thing

May she use this time wisely
To learn his habits and ways
Allow herself to molded
For future beautiful days...

 

What Love Is

I've always had a soft spot in my heart
For sad, troubled men
For as long as I can remember
From way back when

But now that I've gotten older
I've come to realize
Well, actually it was pointed out to me
By a soul I consider wise

What I thought of as love
Was in fact just human care
My need to rescue someone
Is what really took me there

When I finally found real love
That took over forty years
I took a good look back on things
And learned from all my tears

Real love is a mutual thing
Not just focused upon one
The days of me settling for crumbs
Are finally over and done

A real love doesn't take advantage
And take what they can get
Out of another's caring nature
So that their needs are met

A real love admires that quality
And wants her on his team
So they can work together
With love bursting at the seam

1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Got the definition of love right
The difference is amazing
I finally see the light

Forever thankful I'll be
I love someone who fits that mold
Forever I will treasure him
He is more precious than gold
