i remember you

2009-01-28T05:16:00.001-08:00

I remember you…

Like a light, shining bright
Moving through the shadows
Of night…
Splitting the darkness apart
To show me that love is strong
Love is alive, surviving the times
Reassuring and comforting
Inspiring hope and faith
Reawakening dreams
And encouraging every good thing

I remember you…

Like a joy I could touch
Whispering through the clutch
Of despair and grief
Reminding me that my dreams
Are worthy of the time I spend
Reaching toward them

I remember you…

A beacon of hope amid the pain
Always patient, always caring
Wearing a smile filled with happiness
Brightening my life with acceptance
Understanding, never rejecting,
Always alive with sincerity and insight
Supportive of every ambition
Aware of every hope

I remember you…

A warm heart that chose to love
Beyond the worry and fear
Past the feelings of disillusionment
Through it all, whatever might come…
Love … is how I remember you!

thank you for you

2009-01-27T05:41:00.001-08:00

Thank you for understanding
The words I couldn’t speak
Thank you for accepting
The worst part of me
Thank you for expressing
Interest in my heart
Thank you for giving me
Second chances to love

Thank you…

For encouraging me
When I couldn’t hope
For inspiring me
To never give up
For reassuring me
When I was afraid
For enlightening me
With your own faith
For reminding me
That love is always

Thank you…

For the smiles you gave
Expressions of sincerity
For the joy and praise
The gifts from your heart
The ones that taught
And the ones that sought
To remind me of a love
That will always be enough

Thank you… for you,
My forever friend
I will always love you
And think so highly of you.

you were always there

2009-01-27T05:06:00.001-08:00

You were always there, always aware
Of my heart’s deepest yearning
The way my thoughts were churning

You were there, always caring
When I felt lost and alone
As if my hope was gone

You were always there, paying attention
When my life was filled with discord
And the confusing circumstances
Had left me feeling overwhelmed
As if I couldn’t possibly accept
The changes that were coming round’

You were there, always understanding
And accepting me in spite of those things
That caused me to feel like I would never be
Worthwhile, the way I had once been

You were always there, through the struggles
Amid the worries and stressful moments
Reassuring me with your presence
Fulfilling my heart’s quest for
Someone who really cared

You were there, a kind word; a gentle hand
Like a whisper of love moving softly
Through my life and replacing
All the pain and chaos
With hope, faith and love
All the good from above

And I’m so very thankful
You were always there

when i see you smiling

2009-01-26T04:46:00.001-08:00

When I see you smiling
I feel my heart smile, too
And I know that Love is
Alive inside of you

When I see you smiling
My love grows stronger, too
Because I see you smiling
Hope comes shining through

When I see you smiling
I feel inspired to give to you
A part of my heart, my love
The love that I feel for you

When I see you smiling
The world is a better place
Because I know your smile
Sheds light in the shadow’s place

When I see you smiling
I feel refreshed and renewed
The way I do after
Some remarkable truth
Has come shining through

When I see you smiling
I feel like I’m experiencing delight, too
Inside, I feel like I have just seen
The wonders of love renewed

I love you

i hear You, Jesus

2009-01-26T03:33:00.001-08:00

Your love shines down
Without a sound
And I hear

Your love whispers softly
Without one word
And I hear

Your love caresses me
Without movement
And I hear

Your love heals me
Without a physician
And I hear

Your love inspires me
Without a prompt
And I hear

Your love encourages me
Without one direction
And I hear

Your love amazes me
Without surprise
And I hear

Your love comforts me
Without reflection
And I hear

Your love calms me
Without a explanation
And I hear

Your love shapes me
Without a pattern
And I hear

Your love is alive
Surviving the times
And I hear

I hear You in the moments
When I’m all alone
I hear You when I’m in a crowd
And when I don’t make a sound
I hear You, with me,
My heart’s only need

Your love is a miracle
I hear You
And I love You, Jesus

thank you for the love

2009-01-26T02:39:00.001-08:00

Thank you for the love
That helped me to see
The light of the day
Shining through to me
Reaching into my heart
This love was all a part
Of what I had thought
Could reveal the truth

Of love without conditions
Love that inspires, is intimate
Love that requires only love
To fill a life with hope and grace
Peace that is the only place
I truly want to be

Thank you for the love
That has helped me to grow
To see the second chances
And to know… Love is the answer
The only thing I truly need
Is to see the hope, faith and love
The amazing grace bestowed
On those who really know
Love continues on…
Everlasting…
Always

Thank you for the love
That taught me about hope
Reassured my heart and soul
Healed the pain left behind
By so many moments of grief

Thank you for the love
That is a gift from above

I Love You

i will always love you

2009-01-26T01:21:00.001-08:00

You were the person who taught me that love
Is about giving from the heart,
Without a second thought

Love that is a part of every moment
The inspiration for joy and peace
The spark of hope that dreams
And believes…

Love is the answer each of us needs
When the heart is shattered
Broken beyond description
Filled with despair and pain
Capable of changing everything

You were the person who was honest and kind
You gave from the heart instead of the mind
Sincere and serene, you patiently tried
To provide sympathy and empathy
When I felt like I would never be
Filled with the hope and love
Of my dreams

You were the person who taught me that love
Is about giving from the heart
Without a second thought

And I’m filled with joy because
I’m giving from the heart
Without a second thought…
When I say…

I will always love you

i remember

2009-01-23T04:10:00.000-08:00

I remember when I was a little girl
You were always there, always aware
Of the way that I felt and how I kept
Hidden from the world, the pieces of me
Too deep for words, nearly indescribable;
Pieces of a heart, a thought, a mystery,
Unspoken, unseen; a little bit of me
That could only be seen through sincerity
Serenity and a sense of truth, revealed to me
Through hope that is alive
Faith that survives
Love that strives
Eternally
Forever
Always
