Lou Love

She is a woman

A mother and a treasure

Surely you know of this to be true

For you have heard her laughter once

Felt her concern once

And learned of her big heart even just once

She feels deeply and know no need

To control love when it flows out of her

She is our sister, our mother and our friend

She knows that life must be seasoned to taste

Moments need to be sometimes sweet

Sometimes spicy but always  she makes sure

The lesson is dished out well and remembered

We are grateful for her for her loyalty and love

And pray that someday we’ll lick our lips over the food she made

Happy Birthday!~

 

To Have Everything

I missed blogging this on her birthday and their wedding anniversary. I hope they forgive me for the delay.
Belated Happy birthday and belated happy anniversary. And to top all that, congratulations!

To Have Everything 

To have everything is what every person craves

We are greedy creatures even when we deny that we are

I always thought that love was something to have

But the day I met you all wanting stopped

I knew that hunger was something I could forget

And that time is something that flies when I am simply staring

Dreaming stopped being enough 

To have you in my life is all of them coming true

I never thought that we could be an us.

Once there was just you and me,

Now that you have given, more than a man can wish for

I know what it is to be full

It's always been my wish to be able to rhyme

Perhaps that is why God made me a romantic

Still the words escape me and I chose to act

Then again there are poets for friends to rely on

To have you is like never being tired

Of shouting in the middle of a crowded street 

That I would love you for all of my lifetimes

To have you with me to the end of all time

There is no other treasure but YOU

There is no other life but OURS

There is no other wish but this 

That you feel that having me is enough.

 

I wish for you nothing

I wish for you nothing

But soft whispers

Not of promises not kept

But of love remembered

I wish for you nothing

But lullabies and dreams

Not of tomorrows that never come

But a future that everyday brings

I wish for you nothing

But a warm embrace

Not to keep you from moving

But to still you when you're afraid.

I wish for you nothing

But endless tears

Not flowing from your eyes

But from those who read your piece

I wish for you nothing

But the amore of special man

Not to limit your heart

But to increase you ability to seek forever

I wish for you nothing

But happiness that never ends

Not to make you complacent

But to remind you that love works

Happy Birthday, Lizzie~
