Do You Know Why
Love's Touch

It's a Shame

Mommy Look!

Of my blood you never were
Of my heart you will always be.
The child I've always wanted
No father, could love you more than me.

You came into my life
When I knew, I'd never be a dad.
You changed my feelings of loneliness,
To happiness, you make me, so very glad.

You tried not to love me but,
I crept into your heart, just the same.
Much like you crept into my heart
Whispering, your daughter has a name.

So it goes for a thousand years
The world will know and see
My daughter has a name.......a
Beautiful, Wonderful, Precious name
"Tammi"

I Did

When your were sick ,
and no one cared,
I did

When you were lonely,
and no one wanted to hold you.
I did

When you were afraid,
and no one wanted to protect you.
I did

When you needed someone to love you,
and no one wanted you.
I did

When you cried,
and no one dried your tears.
I did

When you needed strength,
and no one offered their's.
I did

When you had a need,
and no one seemed to care.
I did

If you would die this very day,
and no one would share your journey.
I would

You Have Not

Walked in my shoes,
Nor have you drank from my cup.
You cannot see what I have seen,
Nor can you hear what I have heard.
You can not feel what is in my heart,
Nor weigh the burden on my soul.
Only I alone, can feel this pain,
This burden is mine alone to bear.

I have walked in the Valley of the Shadow of Death.
I have drank from the Cup of Bitter Brew.
I have seen good men die in times of war,
I have heard the screams that haunt me still.
I have felt the Heartbreak of losing someone I love,
My soul yearns for those I can no longer reach.
These things, I alone must carry,
This burden is mine alone to bear.

Do You Know Why

Do you know why hearing
you say "I don't love you anymore!"
Hurts so deeply?

Do you know why hearing
you say "I don't love you anymore!"
Numbs my heart and empties my soul?

Do you know why hearing
you say "I don't love you anymore!"
Causes tears to fall like rain, from my eyes?

Do you know why hearing
you say "I don't love you anymore!"
Has taken away my hopes and my dreams?

Do you know why hearing
you say "I don't love you anymore!"
Feels like a dagger stuck through my heart?

Because, I could never feel
The words, "I don't love you anymore!"
about you

Love's Touch

My life was one of lonely Darkness,
Years since my heart felt "Love's Touch".
I forgot how it felt to be wanted and loved,
And my heart needed those things very much

I yearned for someone to love me,
I yearned for someone to care;
I prayed and prayed to the heavens
That one day you would be there.

God heard my prayers and he answered,
By sending me you on this day.
A woman of grace, and gentle kindness,
Who's loving touch would show me the way.

My Heart, You touched with your beauty,
My soul with the sound of your voice.
I gave myself to you completely,
as if I had a choice.

It took so long to find you,
More years than I would know.
I will cherish the love that you gave me,
I will hold to it dearly, wherever I may go.

The Present

Being in love with you
is such a joyous feeling.
Loving you is like having
a Christmas present to open everyday.
I wake up each morning wondering
can this feeling ever be any more
wonderful than it is today and can
I possible love you more today, than yesterday.
Each day the answer is yes, the thought
of loving you fills my day with such joy.
The thought that at one time this day
I shall see the beauty of your smile.
I shall hear the softness of your voice
and see the passion in your eyes.
I shall feel the tenderness of your touch
and the fullness of your lips against mine.
Loving you is more fulfilling than having
Christmas each and every day.
My heart sings at the thought that
you feel this way in return.
Loving you is like awaking the child
in each of us, the essence of innocence
for all to see. Wanting the world to know
how much your present, means to me.

It's a Shame

When something as Beautiful as the Dreams
two People share, starts to come apart

When you are so busy looking for the purpose
in your life, that you let it pass right
through your Heart

That all of my Hopes and Desires of living
in the Warmth and Glow of your Love,
Shall now just fade away

I will no longer feel the Loving Embrace of
your arms holding me close to you

The Press of your Lips against Mine,
will now just be a memory

The Sparkle of your eyes shall no longer
Illuminate the Pathway to my Soul

I shall never feel the Power of your Passion
As we make Love, as only we could

I will miss the sharing of your Joys
and giving comfort to your Tears

My heart aches with sorrow at the thought
Our Love will end, In a thousand years
maybe. But not now! It is way to soon

I will Miss you so very much
But you must do, what you must do

If your Heart must walk another Pathway
Please! Remember this:
"I Shall Always Be In Love With You"

Hope

Hope gives strength to
Try when all else fails
When everything says stop
Hope says "try one more time"

Without Hope there would
Be no tomorrows, there
Would be no yesterdays
For me, there would be
No you.

Your presence in my Life
Has given me Hope
Hope, for a new tomorrow
And the strenth to face my yesterdays

Hope, that somewhere deep
Inside you is a voice whispering
My name

Hope, that in you Heart
Still beats a flicker of Love
For me

Hope, that one day you can
Find the strength to forgive me
Hope, that you will
"Try one more time"

For me, it is all I can Hope for
