Cherish

Your hugs, your kisses, your touch
Being in your arms
Every moment we're together
Is cherished by me.

Your whispers, your smile
Hearing your laughter
Seeing your tears
Is cherished by me.

Knowing you love me
Feeling that you care
Being beside you in the midnight air
Is cherished by me.

Knowing you're there for me
Through the pain and tears
To help with all my fears
Is cherished by me.

Everything about you
All that you are
What you will become
Are all Cherished by me!!

Nights are dark and lonely
wishing you were here
your arms around me tightly
feeling safe and secure.

Chasing away these memories
of a love gone astray
giving me hopes and dreams
for a brighter day.

Replace the pain with love
dry the tears with kisses
two lives joined by God above
together forever His wishes.

If only to feel your arms right now
the soft breath or your whispers
knowing that you're showing me how
to grant God his wishes.

I sit here all alone
sadness in my heart
tears in my eyes
where is life taking me?
Nightmares do come true,
Now what do I do?
How do I get you back?
love we once shared damaged
is it beyond repair?
trust damaged, feelings hurt
a one night stand!!
or was it love?
did you love her more than me?
is freedom what you wanted?
free of commitment
free of me?
Do we fight to save our marriage
I pray it can be saved
my love for you is all I have
is it enough
to save what we once had?
to build a future together
fulfill dreams we built together
the life I want to share
with only you
now, forever and an eternity
together, just me and you!

I almost lost it all
as sick as I am
I wonder what tomorrow brings
who will be here with me??

If it weren't for my faith,
I wouldn't be where I'm at today
I know in my heart
that God will always be with me!!!

My only problem you see
is I'm losing my family!!!
this disease is eating away at me!!
all I hold dear is leaving me!!!!

My husband off with someone new
my children are leaving me too!!
The pain has done this to me
Why can't this hurt just go away??

If only I wouldn't have pushed them away
when all I wanted was for them to stay!!!
Near to me and holding me close
Loving all this hurt away!!

With God's help it will be
the same as it used to be!!!
I know that he's helping me
or I wouldn't be here today!!!

Another day, another you, another me
today I start a new life with thee
together we start another we
a love to share for eternity!

A future to build with a our family
just our girls and you and me
making sure we're all happy
we can do this, you and me!

The future is bright you see
because you're here with me
together forever we will be
always and forever a family!

A sea of thoughts
a river of dreams
fallen leaves of hope
cold are the tears
hard is the heart
love in bloom
life anew
fresh fragrance of a future

tomorrow is another day
the sun will shine bright
in the morning I will say
"I love you and good night"

As I sit here without you
night after night, day after day,
I pray that some how someway
I will have my life, my love.

I want to touch and hold you,
keep you for mine.
To never release you,
even at the end of time.

I made a promise to you and God,
in front of family and friends
I will always love you
to have and to hold
until the end.

God's wish is my command
I know you love me and always will,
I know you know I am there for you.
You made that promise too
You feel it in your heart and soul.

I try to do right by you,
I want to make you proud.
I try to look good for you,
So you don't have to look around.

You are my lover and best friend.
I thank God everyday that you are here
I don't know what I would do without you,
I'll take whatever it is you give!!!
You are my life, my love.

I'm a good kid!
why does he do this to me?
this man that should love me!
Why doesn't Mommy stop him?
The bruises, they hurt,
All the pain, it really hurts!
Please don't look at me.
Please don't notice the pain.
Whenever anyone sees it,
It just means more for me.
I know someday I will be free,
Someday I will be allowed to be me,
Just me, pain and bruise free!!!

I walk among angels
God sent them here for me
they're always there for me
they're there when I cray
they're there when I smile
they're there when I'm happy
or just want to be left alone awhile
they help me and guide me
I'm glad God sent them for me
because they're a comfort you see.
All of these angels are a part of me
they maybe friends or family
you see, God has sent them to watch over me
and I'm happy and free
I hope someday I have wings
and that others will walk among me
and angel someday I will be
because God has sent his angels
to walk through life with me.

A smiling young child
Innocent and pure
Later, a woman
loving and free
Vulnerable is she!

A young soldier,
Just home from Nam,
a lonely drunk man,
two young boys,
a plan they did have.

The touch of a hand
Or another body part.
Vulnerable is she,
Innocence taken,
The plan carried out.

In a split second
Forever is changed!
The tears in her eyes
Fear in her heart.
Terrible memories
to last all eternity!

Why is God doing this to me?
How many more tests will there be?
All I ever wanted was to be happy!
Why is there so many tests for me?

The physical abuse from a Dad I thought loved me,
The sexual abuse times three.
A daughter's hatred, that I only wanted to make happy
How many more tests are there for me?

A family I wanted to love and to love me.
I look in their eyes and its anger I see.
Can all this anger and hatred be for me?
All from this family I love and wished loved me?

Lord, I don't know that I can pass these tests you're sending me.
I'm praying now for help from thee.
Please send and angel to walk with me.
This is one of those times I need you to carry me.

I try to be strong, happy and carefree,
But God, Please stop testing me.
They seem to be getting harder for me.
Please God, I just want my family to be happy!!

The violence of the past
so much stress in the present
only God knows what the future holds.
First it was her parents
the fighting, the hitting, the dreams gone
Second was a little girl's dreams for the future
left in the past with the setting sun.
A young girl's hopes and dreams left to die
along with the sunlight as day turns to night
A marriage almost failed
for many different reasons
Here it is the Christmas season
gone is the happiness and laughter
This woman's eyes filled with tears
her family fighting as her parents once did.
A Christmas Prayer to God above
as we celebrate the birth of His Son
A prayer for guidance silently spoken
For the hopes and dreams of that once little girl
still fresh in that now woman's head.

Under this tree I sit and dream
the branches blow in the gentle breeze
the soft music of the movement of leaves
it seems as though I hear angels sing
the song that blows through this tree
is it a message being sent to me?
In front of me the river flows free
sitting here under this tree dreaming
if my only my life could be
I wonder what it is God has in store for me
This smooth flowing river,
could it be a clue for me?
To my right the bridge touches the sky
The cars, they go from side to side
I wonder if the people can see me
or am I as invisible as I think I'll always be?
What is this bridge telling me?
the future doesn't have to be as blue as she?
The wildflowers all around me
so many colors my eyes can see
could it be angel tears that made these?
Do angels cry like me?
Is my future as bright as these?
Is that the message God is sending me?
