When I first met my husband
i didn't know he was
my soulmate
the first time he looked into my eyes
stood inside of my front door-I
loved him Lord!  From the first glance
I knew I loved him.  I remember this
arrow hitting my heart and peircing my
soul.  I continue to fall hopelessly
in love with him with every passing
moment...I know that i
could not live
without him
When he goes, I want to
go too
He is eight years older than me-
I shall never love again
my husband
has the key
to my heart
and I would rather
die
 than love again
no i'll never love again
i would rather die perfect this way
than to live and love another
I refuse to love another
courage holds us penned in close
cannot separate he and I
like two
halves of a whole we form a new
creation not he not i
yet the Two Of Us
Our Love is an entity that
others can believe in and look to
like a lamppost in a terrible darkness
our love is perfect light in
darkness
it cannot be altered
many souls rely on our love to see
them through
our love is a pillar
of faith
and principle
a beacon in the night
a beacon in the night
an infinite
and a proud thing
a young star in the night
twinkling full of
tremulous hope
Our love
is an achievement
full of honor
strength
dignity
our love
is bigger than
we ourselves
our love
 sparked
an eternal fire
our love
is a beautiful
neverending
story
When we are both
dead
our love
our love
it will shine on
our love
is an angel's arrow flying
through the night
and it pierces
the entity
of hell
we are two angels
awaiting God's command
we shall never forsake
one another nor
the promises
we make
cherish
adore
care
for
one
another
our love
the angel's arrow
our love
the fact of it
has defeated evil
as it is
by its own
Being
and having Been
Our love had existed
that fact proves
that God
Is Good
Real
all God's Promises
are true
we know not fear
evil will never win
Love Conquers All
our love
 is proof
our love
will burn
 forever
in the forests
of time's sanctuary
universe frozen in time
is our love
like a rose among thorns
our love
is written in the stars
our love
cries victory
is a victory for
 God
Goodness
JEsus Christ
all we love
all we stand for
all worth fighting for
we have already won
growing
nourishing
our love
like a tree in winter
without a touch
of green
Hope
Hope
Hope
Awaiting Spring
Our Love
Is Hope
Itself!
In JEsus' Name,
Amen.

A Lonely Night
All Is Lost Forever
I am unable to Weep
Goodness is Punished
I am Unable To Weep
In My Loneliness and Despair
I have No Real Comfort.
I no longer need to be happy
for i have nothing left.
In JEsus' Name,
Amen

"People Talk"
I found you sleeping
You Seem So Helpless
And So Lost
I want to hold you
But Since I Can't
I Will sit here
With a Broken Heart.

"You Can Leave It All Behind"
His Name is Jesus
Karma under Control
Has Everything Under
Control Let Go
Just Let Go
Let It All Go
All You love
All You own
All your Dreams...
even your very life///
leave it behind
karma is kind
you CAN
leave it
all
behind
i did
i know
my heart will
go on
i'm not afraid
of you
i never was
i never will
be
you can't hurt me
any more than
you already have
so kill me
i'll leave life
behind
and walk in my naked
Spirit.
IN JESUS' NAME,
Amen.////

"Spring"
Tremulous, the snow-kissed earth
Unfurls her virgin petals.I take thee
Trembling, oh earth, into my own
snowy hands,and marvel at thee,
oh earth, whichbringeth forth spring!
I seek forHope underneath the dead leaves
And Bones of the Flowers,and i find
where the garden is beginning
its show--in the seedlings buds
and tender shoots of root and tuber
ipray that my chubby fingers do not
unearth to reveal a fat spider crouching
inthe dead grass. There are seedlings
coming up all in  the earth-- andwhat is
the earth?  I find decomposing leaves,
so beautifulin their old age like death
the lace of theirveins remaining-- and bits
of wood,stalks,i See ThatThe Wonderful
Showthat is Spring, in which in the thawing
earth, little seedlings,littlelife,germinates
and isborn. I Look up at my grandmother
the Gardener of this Glorious Garden--
and see she is quetly digging with a shovel
and listening to me intently, with a smile.
InJesus' NAme,
Amen.

You Came Into Our Temple
With a fearful lamb about thy shoulders
And Savoir Thee Wert Cold and Wet
From the cold Rain and Darkness
A Fearsome Night
You are My Husband Theodore.


I Went looking for you
fists
in my torn pockets
of my badly-fitting overcoat
I was in my nightgown
It Was After Two AM
The Lampposts had orangey haloes
Like Stars They Were,and the darkness,oh,
it was freezing and pouring down an icy rain
I padded along in bare feet, a little bit afraid
because the fog was smothing the frozen wet
wretched earth and my only comfort
in that gloaming were dry pine needles
under my feet and a poor blackbird calling,
calling to me in its sleep.I comforted the
bird,that this night,too,must also end.
And Then I found you,MyTheodore,sitting
alone in the
darkness.Were you hiding, my child?
Why Did You Want To Be Alone?
And not in warm bed with me thy loving wife?
I brought you a coffee mug of sweet homeade koolaid,
and you drankit.I didn'twant to leave you there
Youwerewaiting
ForMy Nightgowns to wash in the laundry machine!
You had-coime-into this
dark and cold
with only towash my dirty gowns!
I thank the Lord for thee,Theodore.
I ThankYou. I hope to never
never hurt thy feeling again!
In JEsus'Name,
Amen!
