CELEBRATIONS

CELEBRATION TIME

A time of celebration

A special family time,

Laughter and sweet music

Bubbles in the wine.

Flowers wrapped in paper

And tied with ribbons too,

Parents counting their blessings ~

Such happy days for you.

Chocolates in a beautiful box,

All layered and neatly placed

Some with nuts and fondant

Bringing a smile to your face.

Strawberry and peppermint crème

Turkish delight so sweet,

A family in celebration

Almost dancing in the Street.

May your life together be like this,

A sweet and true delight

May your life be happy

And all your days be bright.

I wish you chocolate days

And days when you can shine,

May your days together be sparkling

Like the bubbles in the wine.

CHERISH THE DAYS

CHERISH THE DAYS

  

Cherish the days when love is yours

And for you the skies are blue,

Hear the winds of kindness blow

Be sure to say I love you.

See the devotion in those eyes

And the tenderness it brings

Feel the flutter of your heart

As it soars on eagle wings.

Relish the joy and fascination

As you walk the path together,

Hold fast to the hand that reaches out

And know that the storms you'll weather.

Feel the passion and romance

The magic and pure delight

As you love and care and tenderly spend

Another love filled night.

Let the story be told of tenderness

And the days when love was bold,

May the memory of these special times

Warm your days when you are old.

CHOCOLATE AND CHERRIES

CHOCOLATE AND CHERRIES

Chocolate and Cherries –

The sweet things in life,

The things I remember

When I was your wife.

Champagne and roses

Starlight and moonbeams

Sweet chocolate kisses

And peaceful calm dreams.

Chocolate and Cherries

Such joy I can’t hide,

Many more memories

When I was your bride.

Champagne and roses

A walk in the park

You holding me close

As we kissed in the dark.

Chocolate and cherries

Days moving on,

Sweet Celebrations 

When giving birth was done.

Champagne and roses

Watching them grow,

You by my side

More joy than you know.

TEMPTATION

Something a little whimsical.

TEMPTATION

Shafts of sunlight through the windows

A pounding heart within my breast,

Temptation all around me

Facing my greatest test.

I have seen your smiling face

And heard sweetness in your voice.

In my mind there is confusion

And yet I can't help but rejoice.

A beautiful gown adorns me

As I rush to morning's first glow.

Shall I run to you or run away

How shall I ever know?

Decision made and I care not

What the future may hold for me,

I am rushing towards you my Darling

Hold out your arms for me.

In the flush of the dawning

And in morning's first light,

Tousled hair about my shoulders

I know my decision is right.
