Love is the greatest gift that God has given us.
It has no bounds or conditions,
It enters the heart without warning and takes
us to places where we have never been before.
It reaches out and embraces our lives
with wonder, excitement , peace and joy.
It comforts us when we are weary and alone,
and when the pain has brought us to our knees
The warm comforting love enfolds us
and wraps around our hearts, and we know
that we have felt the presence of His love.
The love that reminds us of our home.
That love which is Eternal,

~IF I CALL YOU A FRIEND~
If I call you friend,
You will always share
a piece of my heart.
I will always pride myself,
To always be true to you.
As much as I need friends,
So must you.
I will also share a place in your heart,
To be there whenever you need me.
I may not be there in flesh,
But I will always be there in spirit.
I will cope with your moods,
And try to understand your needs.
When you are angry,
I will laugh with you.
As sadness overwhelms you,
We will cry together.
If you feel down and kicked,
I will pick you up
and brush away your doubts.
When you think you can't continue,
I will remind you that you can.
As you become discouraged,
I will boost your ego high.
At times when you wish to talk,
my attention will be all yours.
Being a friend I don't take lightly,
It's my desire, never a chore.
At times when you must mourn,
I shall mourn with you.
If you need some silence,
yet not be alone,
We will sit together
in the peace of quiet.
When you wish to play,
You will always have a playmate.
When you feel on top of the world,
I'll pat your back and tell you,
you deserve to be.
You will never be completely alone,
A piece of me will always be with you.
One thing I can always give,
Is the gift of friendship
for you to accept.
Allow our friendship to make you smile,
Bring joy to your life
as you have to mine.
When you become confused
and lose your way,
Let me guide you
in the right direction.
Lean on me when you need support,
Let me share your sorrow and pain.
What good can a friend really be,
If you can't understand
we will always care.
If I call you friend,
You will always know,
A friend you have in me.

and held your hand in mine.
I turned and seen you smile at me.
That smile, it was sublime.
It revealed the mystery of your heart,
as it mirrored in your eyes.
It revealed the beauty of your soul,
so loving and so wise.
My heart was filled with gratitude
for the love you've given me.
For the hundred times we've walked this way,
our thoughts in harmony.
We've shared the simple things in life,
some heartaches and some tears
We've shared the joys of raising children,
shared their pain and their
fears.
Though the years have turned our hair white,
and wrinkles scar our face,
and our steps are not as sure now,
And can't keep up the pace.
It matters not to me, my love,
that time has changed our earthly form
for the heart cannot see the change.
It just knows your love
so warm
It only knows the joy of loving you,
and feels the presence of you near
as we've walked this life together,
You've only grown more precious,
Dear.
