My life is in your hands

My life is in my hands

Your life is in my hands

Your life is in your hands

You Are My Company

This morning I walked my daughter to school, instead of dropping her off outside the gates. When we entered the road that her school is in, there was only a short way to go, and she is getting older now. I said to her, you can walk the rest of the way by yourself. And she replied, I don’t want to, I want you to walk with me, you are my company. One little sentence that made my heart soar, and heart sore for knowing that she will grow and fly away. Yes, my child, for now, I am your company, and you are mine.

Loving Another

What does it feel like
When your lover puts his arm around another
What does it feel like
When you see your lover kiss another
Take a breath
When the pain is scorched into your heart
For now you know
Your lover loves another

And you are left alone

Freedom Forever

Waking up
Never knowing if today
Might be our last
Be at peace
Be content
Love

And if today would be our last
Allow spirit to always live
Freedom to love
Freedom to live
Freedom to laugh
Freedom to be

Freedom forever

Craving

Alone
I crave you
You are my fantasy
I dream of you and
When I wake
My desire
Is only
For
You

Wish

If I could wish you
Next to me
Holding me
Caressing me
Touching me
Kissing me
If I could wish you
Loving me
I would

Designed for You

I love your hands upon my skin
I love your eyes searching mine
I love your lips upon my own
I love how nature designed me
For you
And I so much
Love you
Loving me

Coming Back For More

“Seems like yesterday
Not far away
When she first came to him
She took him by surprise
He closed his eyes
And sinking tried to swim
She never closed the door
So he came back for more”

Ed Jordan, Proudly South African 1997

Omigosh, this triggers memory and emotion in me.

I Will Be Waiting

park

Meet me in the park
Where fallen leaves
Reflect golden shades
Of autumn hue

Meet me in the park
Lift me off my feet
Where waters flow
Silently by

Meet me in the park
Where I shall await
Your strong embrace
Kiss my breath away

Meet me in the park

The Road Ahead

The road stretches
Far from my view
Wherever I may go
Whatever I may do
I trust this road
To lead me safely
To you
