Words of Love and Laughter

     There once was a Princess
      Whose words were heard
      Across the land

      And all who listened
      Were enchanted by their beauty
      So close at hand

      Her words flowed easily
      From her lips
      Like a bird when it flies

      They would tell a story
      You could see
      When you closed your eyes

      Her Royal Highness
      Was loved by all
      But by the Prince....most of all

I listened to my heart
And it called out your name
I listened again
And it did the same

I listened for weeks
One beat at a time
I listened for months
For signals or signs

I listened for seasons
Your love to come through
I listened for years
Biding time missing you

I listened today
And it called out your name
I listened again
And it did the same













The laughter we share
With tears in our eyes
We fall off our chairs
With aches in our sides

The laughter comes easy
Driven by our wit
We live our lives
And see the humor in it

The laughter is healing
We have smiles to revive
And fade the feeling
Of the pain of past lives

The laughter comes to those
Who are happy at heart
With the partner they chose
To never be apart


















Hope is hollow
Happiness reigns
Longing hurts
And love eases pain

Hope is empty
Joy sustains
Sorrow stings
And love eases pain

Hope is shallow
Confidence gains
Anger stifles
And love eases pain

Hope is hopeless
Worry strains
Compassion warms
And love eases pain










His glance made me blush
And he gave the finest hugs
I bless the day I fell in love
With a handsome guy in scrubs

His kisses were like heaven
Carried on wings of a dove
I melted to his tender touch
My heart sang out with love

His passion drew me in
And his wit was unmatched
His soulful nature called to me
His wisdom unsurpassed

His smile could light the stars
In the dark skies high above
I bless the day I fell in love
With a handsome guy in scrubs















Yesterday when you
Said yes
And eased
My morning stress

I was prepared
To hear
Another word
With a little fear

But now I smile
Huge and un-fleeting
There until
Our first meeting

You said yes
And I'm grateful
Exuberant
And joyful


















What I do feels really nice
But what I want feels right

What I want is what I need
Missing what I want tonight

What I do and what I want
Are somehow intertwined

All I want is what I want
To leave what I do behind
















 


















When someone gives you back your life
Heart and soul and more
You join the world again
And open every door

Words of thanks are never quite enough
To convey the joy inside
The box is open now
No need to ever hide





















My heart is glued together now
All the pieces in their place
It beats in sync with yours
And keeping perfect pace

When my barely functioning brain
Caused it to break like glass
By listening with deaf ears
And acting like a dumb ass
