Message from the Heart

They say they know,
But they can’t. Not really.
It’s too big for this space, this moment.

They can only ever hear it with their young ears.
And feel it with their expectant hearts.
As it should be.
“Of course” they casually say.
“But Really” I push.

I can’t help myself; it forces its way to the surface.
Sometimes it’s perfect, just right.
Other times, they’re irritated and brush it to the floor.
Not now.

I watch them, wondering if they’ll ever know
these feelings.
How deep and endless they are.
How full to the top and stretched out of shape I am.

I’m practicing.
Placing the words more loosely,
letting it float gently between us.
Lets hold it together, share.
It’s for both of us.

So I will keep trying.
No matter what they do, and who they become.
Forever.
Until my throat is dry and just a whisper crawls out.
“I love you.”

“Follow your dream…take one step at a time and don’t settle for less, just continue to climb. Follow your dream…if you stumble, don’t stop and lose sight of your goal, press on to the top…For only on top can we see the whole view, can we see what we’ve done and what we can do, can we then have the vision to seek something new…Press on, and follow your dream - Amanda Bradley

As I Grew Older

It was a long time ago.
I have almost forgotten my dream.
But it was there then,
In front of me,
Bright like a sun-
My dream.
And then the wall rose,
Rose slowly,
Slowly,
Between me and my dream.
Rose until it touched the sky-
The wall.
Shadow.
I am black.
I lie down in the shadow.
No longer the light of my dream before me,
Above me.
Only the thick wall.
Only the shadow.
My hands!
My dark hands!
Break through the wall!
Find my dream!
Help me to shatter this darkness,
To smash this night,
To break this shadow
Into a thousand lights of sun,
Into a thousand whirling dreams
Of sun!

I love My Wife Forever

She's My Everything

She's my morning,
She's my favourite song to sing,
She's the poems that I write,
She's my everything

She's my sparkle,
She's my shine,
She's the only thing,
I want to call mine

She's my voice,
She's my ears,
And being without her,
Is one of my biggest fears

She's the reason I dream,
She's the reason I follow my heart,
She's the reason why,
I want this relationship to start

She's my afternoon,
She's my thoughts all day,
She's the reason why,
I say the sweet things I say

She's my sleepless nights,
She's my soul,
She's the reason why,
I can't keep control

She's my heart,
She's the reason I'm in love,
She's the reason why,
I thank god above

She's my everyday,
She's my everynight,
And I would never give up on her,
Not without a fight

She's my morning,
She's my favourite song to sing,
She's the poems that I write,
She's my everything

I Love My Wife Forever
