Yes, Tis True


Three angels visiting Abraham

Oft I tend
to ignore,

The angels
among us,

For they tug
at my conscience,

Right to the
very core,

They pull me
in nobler directions,

Out of my
selfish self,

Until my
heart turns loose compassion,

With few
strings left,

There is no
better explanation,

For what I
have learned,

Angels are watching
over me,

And they work
hard for wings earned,

Angels that
are grounded,

Will stay
afoot I’ll bet,

For I am far
from perfect,

My feeble
ways are set,

My heart
calls out to angels,

To fill its
empty rooms,

But my
vanity has grown big and bold,

Over my life
it looms,

And angels
that I’ve known so well,

Over years
that quickly fly,

Wait at the
corners of my life,

Helping me
climb on by,

I might tell
you once or often,

There are
angels among us, tis true,

They come in
many guises,

They’re
there for me and you.

 

 

Loving You Like This


Milano, Italy

I didn’t
intend to let love in,

I thought
there would be too much pain,

Yet my heart
spread wide its arms,

So love’s
favor I could gain,

 

I was
pleasantly surprised the day we met,

How completely
I was attracted to you,

My love kept
growing stronger yet,

And I was
glad when you said, “I do,”

 

Long ago you
told me you were plain,

But I smiled as you slept naked beside me,

Like a fawn
shaking off the summer rain,

You shivered
and goose bumps I could see,

 

Now as I
hold you I still disagree,

I’ll cover
you, but not without a twinge of regret,

For I love
every part that I see,

And I’ll
cherish every moment I can get,

 

I brush
strands of hair from your face,

“You’re beautiful,” I whisper in the dark,

And to plant a kiss I find a place,

Hoping that
kiss might stir a spark,

 

I still
yearn to hold your many charms,

You might
not hear the words I say,

Those simple words that only my head knows,

Are laden
with love and might betray,

 

How much my
heart with passion overflows,

I grin
again, already missing your sweet kiss,

I don’t want
to rush life, I want to take life slow,

Because I
want to go on loving you like this.
