As time goes on.....
I realize...
just what you mean to me,

and now,.....
now that you're near,
promise your love that I've waited to share.

And dreams of our moments together,
COLOUR my world with hopes of loving you.

"What greater thing is there for two human souls
than to feel that they are joined together to strengthen each other in all labour,
to minister to each other in all sorrow,
to share with each other in all gladness,
to be one with each other in the silent unspoken memories?"

"For one human being to love another;
that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks;
the ultimate, the last test and proof;
the work for which all other work is but preparation."

Rainer Maria Rilke

A Woman's Heart Is Like The Rose
The Rose is a fragile flower
To plant it, the ground must be prepared with rich soil beneath the hardened surface so the plant can take root and grow
Tenderly, it's placed in the soil
Carefully filled in, and then watered and fed
It's delicate leaves must be treated now and then to keep it's enemies at bay
In the warm glow of sunlight it prospers and blooms
Into a flower which has become the symbol of beauty and love to the world
Once it blooms, it's petals must be misted to keep them from drying and withering
If the Rose is not treated with such tender care
It will die... it's beauty, sadly, gone forever
A woman's heart is like that Rose
It too must be handled with care
It is strong and yet fragile somehow needing that loving care to bloom and grow
The rich soil is a love that is true
So her love can grow and blossom

Instead of leaves and petals, she has feelings and dreams that must be treated with understanding and encouragement
Her enemies are loneliness, fear, and mistrust
They will destroy her heart,
eating away at the love that grows there
Frequent misting with honest, softly spoken, loving words will keep those enemies away
Instead of sunlight, a tender touch from one who sees the beauty within her
Though she herself may not even know it's there
This will give her heart a glow

Just like the Rose, without these things a woman's heart will wither
And suddenly this thing of beauty and it's love..
Are lost to you forever

The Meaning of True Love
Helen Steiner Rice

It is sharing and caring,
Giving and forgiving,
Loving and being loved,
Walking hand in hand,
Talking heart to heart,
Seeing through each other's eyes,
Laughing together,
Weeping together,
Praying together,
And always trusting,
And believing,
And thanking God
For each other...
For love that is shared
is a beautiful thing-
It enriches the soul
and makes the heart sing!
