These following two poems were written by Christina
Whisper (My Name)
Far away in the evening
I look at the sky
I see a star
So revealing
I see it glow and shine
I wonder where you are right now
And if you think about me
Cause if you do
Look at the star
And whisper my name
Whisper my name
So that I will feel secure
So that all of heaven
Will know our love's for real
Whisper to the sky
Look at the star shine
Let everyone in earth know
Whisper my name
And don't let go
When troubles
Abound you
And your steps are faultered and weak
Look up to see if your name
Is being whispered by me
And if you feel a feeling
Warm inside your heart
Whisper I love you
I dont ever wanna be apart
Whisper my name
So that I will feel secure
So that all of heaven
Will know our love's for real
Whisper to the sky
Look at the star shine
Let everyone in earth know
Whisper my name
And dont let go
True Love
You are the one that has my heart
The only one that can tear me apart
You get to me in such a way
With mere words I could never display
You know this happened in such a hurry
There are times that I must worry
What if you should change your mind
And all of a sudden myself alone I would find
You are the one that brightens my life
And the only ones words that can cut like a knife
You will always love me that's what you say.
That's why I count on you every day
Some time in the future maybe we won't be apart
I have always wanted that right from the start
anything that I tell you, believe that it's true
Because my Darling I won't lie to you
You know that I love you and will forever
The bond that we have will be broken , never
So trust me sweetheart , I won't let you down
you are the only true love that I have ever found.
Dedicated to Theo
