Once in a while God allows us

to see beyond ourselves

and catch a glimpse of magic.

Once in a while we briefly touch

the core of our existence and

come to the place we know as home.

That is heaven. Heaven is you...

I Hold Heaven

I hold heaven in my arms at night

My fingers exploring his face

My heart reaching out to entwine with him

Lost deep within his embrace.

I hold heaven in my arms at night

Earth’s trivia fades away

Touching his skin and smelling his scent

Feels more sacred than mere words can say.

I hold heaven in my arms at night

Running my hands through his hair

His kiss on my brow making me weep

With the bliss of his being there.

I hold heaven in my arms at night

And fulfill my lifelong yearning

I fall in his eyes and find my way home

And for a time the world stops turning.

I hold heaven in my arms at night

And I feel an eternal flame

Consuming my sadness and lighting my way

And searing my soul with his name.

I hold heaven in my arms at night

And pray like never before

That I'll always have him here in my arms,

To comfort and love him once more.

Never did my dreams reach the magic

Of who you are....

The Story Of My Life

by Neil Diamond

The story of my life

is very plain to read

it starts the day you came

and ends the day you leave

The story of my life

begins and ends with you

the names are still the same

the story's still the truth

I was alone

you found me waiting

and made me your own

I was afraid

that somehow I never could be

the woman you wanted of me

You're the story of my life

and every word is true

each chapter sings your name

each page begins with you

It's the story of our times

and never letting go

and if I die today

I wanted you to know

Stay with me here

share with me, care with me

stay and be near

And when it began

I'd lie awake every night

just knowing somewhere deep inside

that our affair just might write

the story of my life

The story of my life

is so very plain to read

it starts the day you came

and ends the day you leave.....
