Lots of Ways to Get Involved.
Poem #1
Ever Near
As I sit alone, so far away
I can’t seem to find the words
Those feelings strong at last are here
So long have been unstirred
The love I’ve found is life and breath
And all the world to me
No more in pain, I feel no shame
You’re all that I can see
It’s not always the one they see
That makes the man a man
Your love for me comes through the air
And lets me know I can
Do all those things I want to do
To fill your heart’s desire
In truth, you are my all in all
Your love’s my life, my fire
You’ve shown me now to live my life
The way I should have done
And when I tell the world of you
They’ll know you were the one
Who gave me strength and held me close
When life seemed to slip away
I feel you with me ever near
Though now so far away
Poem #2
Of Course I Do
My Dearest Love
Do you see this sunrise?
Of course, I do
Do you know my pain
And feel my fear?
Of course, I do.
My Dearest One
Do you see where my joy is gone?
For I have lost it
Yes, My Love
Of course, I do
Love of my life do you know how lost I am?
Yes, my dearest
Of course, I do
My dearest love
I see the sunrise because I sent it to you, and I know your pain and fear for we are one soul
Oh, My Dearest One
You have not lost your joy
only set it aside
and you are not lost
I know where you are
I know these things
for though my body is gone
you are still my breath
I feel these things
though I cannot touch you
I still caress
You are my waking thought
as I am yours
My dreams at night
are only of you
Yes, Dearest Love
You’ve not one thought
that I do not know
So let me help you
and together we will find your joy
I know why you feel all these things so let me answer
I am still here
I love you more than ever
Of course, I do
Poem #3
Valentine
Valentine’s Day a good place to start
Always forever till death we part
Loving and living and sharing, It’s true
Every breath that I have repeats I love you
Nothing to hide and nothing to fear
Time always stands still whenever you’re near
I find that my life has more meaning you see
No moment is wasted when you are with me
Everything precious in life did begin
The moment I found you, my wife, Mari Lynn
Poem #4
This Man
This man lives on
Though now asleep
His time has come
Not ours to weep
For though he’s gone
He still remains
Our memory sings his sweet refrain
This man lives on in childhood dreams
In well laid plans and cherished things
The ball once thrown
Now caught by all
He carried us then
Lest we should fall
This man lives on inside our souls
Without his life none here a whole
We see his face in all we are
This man lives on
He’s close though far
