Patrick's Thought's On Love

TELL HER SO
Author Unknown

Amid the cares of married strife
In spite of toil and business life
If you value your dear wife-
Tell her so!

When days are dark and deeply blue
She has her troubles, same as you
Show her that your love is true-
Tell her so!

Don't act as if she's past her prime
As tho' to please her were a crime
If ever you loved her, now's the time-
Tell her so!

She'll return for each caress
A hundred fold of tenderness,
Hearts like hers were made to bless;
Tell her so!

You are hers and hers alone;
Well you know she's all your own;
Don't wait to carve it on a stone-
Tell her so!

Never let her heart grow cold
Richer beauties will unfold
She is worth her weight in gold
Tell her so!

Before I heard the doctors tell 
I had considered kissing you
The nearest thing to bliss.
But now I know biology
and sit and sigh and moan;
Six million mad bacteria
and I thought we were alone!

"I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad,
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad,
Oh I wanna be the man who grows old with you,

I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches,
Build a fire if the furnace breaks,
Oh it could be so nice to grow old with you,

Oh I'll miss you,
I'll kiss you,
Give you my coat when you are cold,

I need you,
I'll feed you,
I'll even let you hold the remote control,

So let me do the dishes in the kitchen sink,
Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink,
Oh it could be so nice to grow old with you,
I wanna grow old with you."
Sung by Adam Sandler in "The Wedding Singer"

The moment you begin to lose hope,

  • Fairy Tale Endings, Robert L. Backman

    I want to appreciate you ... without judging.
    I want to invite you ... without demanding.
    I want to ask you ... without pleading.
    I want to leave you ... without guilt feelings.
    I want to join you ... without invading.

    I want to help you ... without insulting.
    If I can have the same from you, we can meet and truly

    to be.

Desire is when you ache to see him and touch him, when he causes your body to burn and tremble. Desire does not demand love before it can ensnare you, but desire with love creates a powerful bond."
