Call For Duty
The times when we are apart
I am reminded that I share you with the world.
You made a commitment to family and country.
I knew the day of call for duty would come.
Your honor and pride of country
makes those left behind
proud to call you one of ours...
Celebrate
...We have chosen to celebrate and honor
our love and devotion
with those that by example
revealed to us the rewards...
Circle of Love
...It is in your critical hour
with the rally of family and friends by your side
that you are witness to the rewards one receives...
Farewell
Birth is full of hope and promise
and Death,
although brings times of sadness,
it is in belief
that it is a place of reunion, joy and peace.
Final Journey
There is a path that unfortunately many of our best
will take in their lifetime.
It is one that has been defined as Alzheimer's disease.
It is a word that brings a concern...
I am in Love
I remember liking you
the very first time we met.
You had a presence
that demanded my attention...
I Give You My Heart
We are all children,
full of hope and desire
to experience life shared with another.
I have chosen you...
Lost in Emotion
Liking
Infatuation
Crush
Sentiment...
Love Letters
You keep all the letters I write to you.
When you look back on our life together
will the words written be enough?...
Miracle of Life
We are all gathered today to await your arrival.
Today we will be witness to the miracle of life.
For nine months we have had only dreams
of what this day will deliver...
Moments in Time
What happens in a lifetime,
can happen in a moment.
For me my moment was the first day I met you.
The moment we became friends...
My Promise to You
The times when we are apart,
I only have to close my eyes to see you.
You are so beautiful
but it is your smile that takes my soul...
Rainbow in the Sky
You are all that I ever dreamed of.
Our time here together is unknown.
I don't want you to ever look back
on our life together and question...
Smile
Love is the answer.
We show this to each other with a touch
when we pass one another in a room...
Sun Rising
How can it be that sharing one’s life
with another is what it is all about?
I had been alone but unaware
of the emptiness I carried...
Thank You
I don't know when the time comes when
we see our parents with the same love and concern
they must have had when we their children came into this world.
I do know it is a precious time in the evolution of all of our lives...
The Emptiness is Gone
It is true that for some it takes a lifetime
to find that special one.
For us, our paths only had to cross again.
I knew instantly,...
The Sound of Your Voice
I love to tell the story
of our first meeting.
Did you know the waters were rough?...
We Do Not Walk Alone
It is in times of personal tragedy that we first question our beliefs.
What is to be learned by pain and suffering?
For me I was forced to look beyond myself...
We Walk Among Angels
It’s hard to explain what one experiences at the time
of possible departure from what we call our life.
I can only tell you my story.
There was no fear...
You Are Not Alone
...I will be with you wherever you go.
I will be the sound you hear.
The scent of your favorite flower...
