ONCE IN A LIFETIME LOVE

DEAR ROSA,

I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE THE DAY,
WHEN LIFE WOULD BE WORTH LIVING AGAIN,
BUT GOD SENT AN ANGEL RIGHT MY WAY,
TO WALK A PATH WHICH I'D NEVER BEEN.

YOU CAME TO ME IN MY DARKEST HOUR,
TO SHOW ME THE WAY TO A HAPPY LIFE,
MY FEARS OF LOVE YOU DID DEVOUR,
FOR NOW ONE DAY YOU'LL BE MY WIFE.

THE BOND WE SHARE FOREVER UNSHAKEN,
THROUGH EVERY TRIAL TRIBULATION AND FIGHT,
FROM MY ARMS YOU'LL NEVER BE TAKEN,
I'M HOLDING YOU CLOSE WITH ALL MY MIGHT.

IT'S NOT ALWAYS ALL LAUGHTER AND SMILES,
SOMETIMES LIFE CAN BE TOUGH AND SAD,
TWO STEPS WILL SOMETIMES SEEM LIKE MILES,
BUT STICKING TOGETHER WE'LL BEAT THE BAD.

I'M TRULY BLESSED FOR A WOMAN LIKE YOU,
I LOVE YOUR LIPS YOUR LAUGH AND SMILE,
THERE'S NOTHING FOR YOU I WOULD NOT DO,
MY COMMITMENT TO YOU I WILL NEVER DEFILE.

OUR FAMILY IS NOTHING SHORT OF PERFECTION,
MY SEARCH FOR LOVE IS FINALLY COMPLETE,
YOU WILL FOREVER HAVE MY FULL ATTENTION,
WITH OUR LOVE NOBODY COULD EVER COMPETE.

SO I MAKE A PROMISE FROM HERE ON AFTER,
FAITHFUL AND LOVING TO YOU I WILL REMAIN,
BECAUSE IN MY LIFE YOU'RE THE LAST CHAPTER,
MY LIFE YOUR LOVE WILL ALWAYS SUSTAIN.

YOU ARE MY LOVE FROM THIS DAY FORWARD,
YOU ARE TRULY MY ONCE IN A LIFETIME LOVE,
AN ETERNITY OF LOVE WE'RE WALKING TOWARD,
UNTIL WE'RE REUNITED WITH OUR GOD ABOVE.

I AM FOREVER YOUR'S MY LOVE!

Mistaken For Love

My heart has had no time to heal,
Since from my chest it was ripped out,
With these feelings one must deal,
This I now know without a doubt.

You can't replace the one you love,
With the person you next kiss,
Feelings on one you cannot shove,
Love will never work like this.

My heart is aching to still beat,
Beat with life and love so true,
It will not give in or admit defeat,
Something this heart could ever do.

It's natural reaction is love so strong,
Put other's first without a cause,
Even when others say it's so wrong,
Or know you won't get any applause.

Love is about taking a vital chance,
Not knowing if you'll win or lose,
Simply deciding to die or dance,
The right choice you hope to choose.

So before that step you choose to make,
Be sure your heart is strong and true,
Otherwise those feelings may be fake,
That is one thing you should never do.

Failed At Love Once More

I know I am not a perfect man,
I stumble, curse, and lose my way,
Maybe this is part of God's plan,
To get me through to the next day.

I thought I found the one in you,
The one to have and hold and love,
Our love could not be any more true,
My life long gift sent from above.

Yet here we are now miles apart,
I cannot see you or hear you talk,
But you're forever in my heart,
In spirit through life we'll always walk.

I gave you more than ever before,
My every thought you did consume,
But when I saw you close the door,
I knew my life was headed for doom.

And now you're gone and here I am,
No one now to wipe my tears,
About new love don't give a damn,
I still want you for all my years.

I see you walking into the distance,
Guess our love's not worth fighting for,
This was my final attempt at romance,
But I see I failed at love once more.

My Dream Came True

Every night when in my bed,
I think about the life I live,
Thoughts of you fill my head,
The best to you I want to give.

I often lay there wide awake,
I cannot sleep or so it seems,
My life is only what I make,
And I am living all my dreams.

A dream came true when we met,
I saw our love so crystal clear,
My life on our love I would bet,
What we need is all right here.

Days may not always go as planned,
Sometimes we'll stumble trip and fall,
As long I've firmly got your hand,
I know we'll make it through it all.

One day our lives will be much better,
We will lay in our bed every night,
Falling asleep and dreaming together,
Knowing that things will be alright.

Let's share our dreams and our love,
Because that's what we're meant to do,
We have the blessing of God above,
I knew I found love when I found you.

Second Chance At Love

Love doesn't always go as planned,
Time will come when you part ways,
Then love is lost on the other hand,
Returning love does have its days.

A second chance to make it right,
The realization of what you lost,
Never again a lonely cold night,
You protect this love at all cost.

Sometimes you have to fall apart,
To see that you belong together,
Love like this is from the heart,
Things will only then get better.

Treat this love with great respect,
And the love will never fail again,
But if this love you soon neglect,
This love then will soon be taken.

Lost this time no hope of return,
Had one last chance now it's done,
Hope it doesn't take this to learn,
The one you have is really the one.

Second chances are far between,
You cannot buy them in this life,
Another chance the slate is clean,
You just may one day be my wife.

Lover's Epiphany

There are times in my life when I search deep within to find that inner peace that I have read so much about. The novels written of people, who have found the love of their life and have grasped a firm hold of them, has overtaken my thoughts and desires. Are these merely fantasies and stories dreamt by mortals who have indulged themselves in the ideas that there can be absolute peace and serenity in this life? Or is there really the existence of a world where people can meet and fall madly in love and devote themselves to one specific being for the rest of their life and for all eternity? There are days when I fantasize of such a life. A life where I feel as though I am gently gliding through the air feeling weightless and have absolutely no sense of the force of gravity. The lack of care for anything else in this world, other than gazing into the eyes of this beautiful woman that has given me hope beyond all of my imagination, is all I know. Hope to live, love, and laugh, for the rest of my life, is all I desire. Reality does not seem to matter in these moments. Then I am quickly reminded that reality is that I am human and these days can not be but a fleeting moment of bliss that the feared, yet revered, emotion called love brings. So quickly I realize that these dreams that I dream are just that. You are in my dreams and you make me feel weightless and floating through the air when I am with you. Even if you are but a myth, I still do not want you to ever leave my thoughts. Stay with me throughout eternity, never part from my side, and never stop giving me hope for a life where dreams do come true. If by some miracle you are real, if your eyes, that show me hope and love, are not just a window into my fantasies, I want you to make every day of mine seem as the dream it is. As I look into your soul, I see a woman that has helped mold this once withering heart into a heart that is capable of love. You are my every fantasy. You are the love of my life. You are that one specific person that I would love to devote the rest of my life to. I am madly and deeply in love with you. So let us float through this life, hand in hand, into eternal bliss. This is not a fantasy but rather our reality. I want to be forever yours!

Lost At Sea No More

Life seemed so simple and so clear,
My destiny in the plainest sight,
Nothing in life did I ever fear,
Living my life seemed just right.

The sea of life purest tranquil,
No waves of doubt ever tossed,
Living each day of my free will,
No fear of true love ever lossed.

A ripple was made when we met,
Rocking the boat made me stumble,
You into my life I could not let,
Doing that would make me humble.

Firm and proud I stood so tall,
I shut you out in every way,
Sure for you I'd never fall,
Never thought I'd see the day.

Storms came and there you were,
To lend an open ear and mind,
Of this one thing I'm very sure,
Someone like you is hard to find.

You opened up these blinded eyes,
Shed some light on how to live,
Helped me see through all the lies,
Happiness in life you freely give.

Looking back at my peaceful soul,
I realize now a storm is alright,
You are the one to make me whole,
When storms clear it gets so bright.

Holding onto you is what I desire,
I need you here in every part,
Our passion and love is like a fire,
Burning deep down in my heart.
