Love & Tears
by Jerry W. Bradford
Source: Voices of the Heart, (2004), p. 70
I've hurt the heart of the one I love
A deed that has brought me shame
The gift sent down from god above
Beauty is her name
Her tears have sent the rain to my heart
My love, I never meant you harm
I feared this would happen from the start
I fell for your beauty and charm
I'd wipe your tears and kiss your lips
If fate were not cruel, but kind
I can feel you close at my fingertips
But your body I hold in my mind
I know you love with your heart of gold
You know I love you too
Without your love, my heart is cold
The truth is I'm in love with you

An Awesome Love
by Jerry W. Bradford
Source: Voices of the Heart (2004), p.20
What have you done?
What change has taken place?
Something wonderful has begun
It started when I saw your face
I never knew I could feel like this
Never thought I could love so much
Or sit and wait for just one kiss
Or pray to god that someday we would touch
Yet each day, I thank god that you live
I'm happy just because you are near
The things I need are the things you give
I've found all I need right here
With just a smile you brighten each day
My love for you, it grows stronger
I love you so much, I don't know what else to say
Except that I'll love you forever or longer
