~*~Only God Knew~*~

*Our Love was captured in a heartbeat*
and that heartbeat....will carry us through eternity,
Forever yours...Forever mine... Together as one.
Only God could of made something this wonderful,
Only God could of touched our hearts this way,
Only God knows Yesterday... Today..and Tomorrow,
Where we have been...Where we are...and Where we will be.
Only God knew they're would be a You and Me.
Now Yesterdays are long gone...and Today is slipping away,
and our Tomorrow's are coming fast,
and in a heartbeat...You and I will be together at last.
Take my hand as I reach out....Please be not afraid,
For my love the day has come ...for us to join this way.
The heavens Have cried many tears,
The winds have sang many songs,
The nights have craddled us in its arms,
and the days have made us strong.
Now I am reaching out with my other hand,
Take them both my love...and together we will stand.
One day at a time... one heartbeat after another,
Only God knew... You and I would share this love.
*Forever Yours*...*Forever Mine*
*In a heartbeat ...God has made us One *

~*~The Lord Whispered~*~

The Lord whispered from above,
"It's time to be with me my son."
Tho not really wanting to go,
He took one last breath then let it flow.
He joined the lord up above,
and is surounded now by his love.
All the wordly things have passed,
He is in heaven and in peace at last.

....written by Shirl*

~*~TrusT~*~

This reflects so much of what is in my heart
I loved you almost from the very start.
Your persistence and determination made it hard for me to say no,
when you asked me if I loved you, I just had to tell you so.
Now with each passing day, my love for you just grows,
and with every heartbeat I love you more you know.
When I awake in the morning,your the first thought on my mind.
When I go to bed at night, your the only dream I have in sight.
My days are long without you, and I always pray,
that someday God will see that you and I were meant to be .
I know there are differences that should keep us apart.
But my darling I love you from the bottom of my heart.
So nothing in this world matters as much as you to me,
and someday I know we will be together as we were meant to be.
Then when the world looks at us , it will be true love they see,
for only true love can stand the test,that we will surely take.
but to be together with you, there's no sacrafice too great.
I love you and I always will, nothing will ever change that.
Trust in our love as I do,and somehow we will be as one,
for a love like ours will never be undone.*

.....Shirl

~*~Meant To Be~*~

I love you more then words can say
I love you more each and every day
My heart belongs to you my love
You have this way with me,
I feel you close tho we are far apart.
Your in my thoughts and in my heart
and when you read this poem from me
just know our Love is meant to be.

.....Shirl

~*~My World~*~

Darling your in me and my system too.
every breath I take I think of you.
with every heartbeat your on my mind.
when I roll over in bed and reach out.
your the one I am hopeing to find .
when I pray..I hope when I open my eyes you are waiting there.
I feel sure one day you will be.
some how...some way.. together with me.
for you are everything I am
your my life ...my breath...my love ...and my world.
your my dreams at night... and prayers my in the morning.
I love you with everthing I have... and everything I am. Your my husband, as I am your wife
This is the way it should be...the rest of our lives.
Only God knows the paths we'll take.
but no matter what through all this world.
weather we turn left or right.
you will be a part of me.
for in my heart you'll always be.

........Shirl

~*~My Love~*~

May the waters of the ocean fill you with joy and peace
May the sands of time feel warm and loving at your feet
May the winters bring warmth and sunshine
and the summers bring the same
For you deserve it my LOVE

~*~And God Said No~*~

I asked God to take away my pride, and God said, No.
He said it was not for Him to take away,
but for me to give up.
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole,
and God said, No.
He said her spirit is whole,
her body is only temporary.
I asked God to grant me patience, and God said, No.
He said that patience is a by-product of
tribulation; it isn't granted, it's earned.
I asked God to give me happiness, and God said, No.
He said He gives blessings;
happiness is up to me. I asked God to spare me pain, and God said, No.
He said, "Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me."
I asked God to make my spirit grow, and God said, No.
He said I must grow on my own, but
He will prune me to make me more fruitful.
I asked God if He loved me, and God said, YES!!!
He gave His only Son who died for me, and
I will be in heaven someday because I believe.
I asked God to help me love others as much as He loves me,
and God said,
"Ah, finally, you have the idea."

~*~The Flowers of Friendship~*~

Life is like a garden
and friendship is like a flower
that blossoms and grows to beauty
with the sunshine and the showers...

and lovely are the blossems
that are tended with great care
by those work unselfishly
to make the place more fair...

and like the garden blossoms,
friendships flowers grow more sweet
When watched and tended carefully
by those we know and meet.

and as the sunshine adds new fragrances,
and raindrops play their part,
joy and sadness add new beauty,
when there's friendship in the heart.

.....Written by my close friend Scott

Sweet Memories

Love is such a fragile thing
so old but yet so new
A happiness only you can bring
With all the things you do

Forever you shall have my heart
It's bounds shall have no limit
Today we are so far apart
I think of you each minute

Each morning wakes the memory
Of the days we were together
With you my love I'll always be
Nothing else could make it better

I knew right from the very start
There would be no one else but you
Your love will always touch my heart
You know what I say is true

So as I think of you each day
And the memories that we share
You know I love you in every way
And for you I will always care

Some day we just might meet again
I will hold you then once more
For the new life we will then begin
We'll never be apart anymore.

....Written By My California Dream Marauder

~*~ Will We See? ~*~

In all this world that we see.
Tell me now, will there ever be?
A time and place for you and me?

And as the days linger on,
and our memories grow dim,
is there ever going to be an us again?

The world seems to be so cruel,
In it's judgement of us.
Little does it know how are hearts have touched.

And all the love that has grown inside.
Surely someone has seen .
It can't be hid that well.

My thoughts and dreams must be shining through.
They have to see that I Love You!
and all of this was meant to be.

But at last the days grow ever long,
and my heart is loosing it's wonderful song.
It's quieting now it's wonderful sound .
peeking out when no one's around.

It's sad it has to be this way,
I feel so incomplete.
But someday in this life you and I will meet.

Then all the thoughts and dreams we've had,
will finally come together.
and you and I will forever be,
in this world a you and me.

and never again will we part,
For we're joined together.
By our hearts.

..........Shirl

~*~ A Distant Dream ~*~

If it were all I could do,
to reach out and touch you,
To hold you for a single moment,
it would be worth more
than an entire life time.
I could dream of you,
wheather a sleep or not.
You could haunt me in ways
that leave me asking for more.
The thought of being near you
Is one I can long for.
Your body calls out to mine,
In a voice I can not tune out.
The thing that grows in my heart for you,
Is begging to be let free,
To be allowed to grow ,
to experiment.
But distance stops us,
and how I can long for that single moment.

....writen by a friend of my heart, Bobby

*Smiles for Jerry*

Good morning to you too
have a wonderful day
May the love of God be upon you
and his breath blow through your hair.
May his tears wash your body clean,
and leave you with out a care.
May his blessings be Oh so many,
and your tears be oh so few.
May blessings of God be upon you,
Today and your whole life through.

....dedicated to my friend Jerry, Love Shirl

~*~Searching~*~

With the rising of the morning sun
Another day has just begun
I knew the love that awaited me
We lived our lives so full and free
Now my heart just weeps with sorrow
with the loneliness of tomorrow
And a dream once held so dear
Might no longer be so near
I reach out but I find love gone
My heart so empty now of song
On my lips her name I wore
I will win her heart once more
Our lives so happy filled with hope
As now I stumble, fall, and grope
One day I'll see my love anew
Then I know what I will do
I'll pull her close into my arms
And feel my heart then as it warms
She is my life, she is my heart
I wish we weren't so far apart
I need her with me every day
Without her love I'd lose my way
The words I'd say are I love you
You've always been my love so true

....Written By My California Dream Marauder

Love

Love is emotions so strong and true;
Love can be happy and love can be blue.
There's love in the hearts of everyone you see;
I wonder if there's love in your heart for me.
I know I am happy when I look in your eyes;
They sparkle like stars way up high in the sky.
Yes with your love in my heart i know I will be;
As happy as anyone you'll ever see.

....Written by my Special Friend J.B.
*I love it Jerry, thank you!*

~*~Nobody Special~*~

I am nobody special please listen to me.
I am nobody special sad as can be.
I am nobody special no place to call home.
Left in this life,forever to roam.
Tears fill my eyes, Pain fills my soul.
Nobody special is crying you know.
Tears streak her face wherever she goes.
She has nobody to call her own.
Left in her life forever to roam.
Nobody special is all on her own.
Someday I pray God will see,
that this nobody special,
is as lonely as can be.
Then he will reach out with his love,
and give this nobody special,
someone to love.

*Bits And Pieces Of Time*

A second of the clock is ticking away,
never to be back again this day.
For now it will be forever lost,
never again, what was the cost.
What did you loose in that second?
Was it worth your time?
Did it really mean that much?
For that second again,
you will never touch.
So use your seconds wisely dear,
for never again will they appear,
For bits and pieces of time slowly drift away,
Never in your life again to stay.
So hold each one to your heart,
each precious second before you part.
Make your life the best today,
Before those seconds tick away.

....Shirl

~~A Brand New FriendShip~~

To my friend across the land,
To me you seem oh so grande!
To talk with you is a joy
A luxury I shall employ.
Just to have your words so near.
and have the time to bend your ear.
For this will surly be.
One of the nicest things to me,
The comfort of your words so dear.
and your friendship loud and clear.
As our words cross the land,
and join together as if holding hands.
Your in my heart so tenderly,
A brand new friendship for you and me.

....Shirl

~~Promises~~

I came from no where,
I had never seen you before,
But as we crossed the miles,
Your heart opened the door.
You gave me hope and love and peace.
Then I felt saftey it was so sweet.
You gave me the sunshine on my darkest days
and took away my skies of grey.
You gave me the desire to live
and then to try and dream again.
I trusted you with all my heart.
As my world turned and changed,
you said you'd be there just the same.
Tho shakey in what I was going to do.
I knew that I could count on you.
For promises that you made,
That you would love me just the same.
So doing what I had to do.
I trusted what you said to be true.
As I turned around,
and my world came crumbeling down,
I could not reach out to you,
for inside I was crushed and blue.
Needing time I stood alone,
then realized it was time to come home.
So that day I came to you,
I was going to tell what I wanted to do.
Then again my world started to shake.
I was trembeling deep inside.
For all the promises I held dear,
Suddenly dissapeared.
How did this happen I do not know.
For in my heart I loved you so.
Some day I hope you see,
In your heart you still love me.
I am waiting patiently,
as you did so long for me.

....Love Shirl
