BEING BRAVE AT NIGHT

The other night 'bout two o'clock, or maybe it was three, An elephant with shining tusks came chasing after me. His trunk was wavin' in the air an'  spoutin' jets of steam An' he was out to eat me up, but still I didn't scream Or let him see that I was scared - a better thought I had, I just escaped from where I was and crawled in bed with dad. One time there was a giant who was horrible to see, He had three heads and twenty arms, an' he came after me And red hot fire came from his mouths and every hand was red And he declared he'd grind my bones and make them into bread. But I was just too smart for him, I fooled him might bad, Before his hands could collar me I crawled in bed with dad. I ain't scared of nothin that comes pesterin' me at night. Once I was chased by forty ghosts all shimmery an' white. An' I just raced 'em round the room an' let 'em think maybe I'd have to stop an' rest awhile, when the

MY TRUE LOVE

I have a feeling That I can't comprehend In my deepest thoughts you are More than just a friend. I wouldn't want to Rush us now As love we explore But there's a growing love inside That we just can't ignore. I love the times we Spend together. We are comfortable And free.  I think of you when we are Alone.  I think of you and me. We have shared Secrets to uncover. There's more To life. We will both discover. I love you always. I'll love you when you're dumb, I'll love you when you're smart, I'll love you anyway you are, Right from the start. I'll love you if you're tall I'll love you if you're short, I'll love you if you're pretty, Or just an ugly dork. I'll love you if you're toothless, I'll love you if you're blind, Anything that's wrong with you, To me you'll be fine. My heart is opening up now, Unlike it used to do, I see the pain that's in your heart And sometimes I feel it too.

GOD'S GIFT

Love is like a river, A never ending stream. Love is shared by each other To answer someone's dream. It's a never ending story; Love is not a lie. You can share in all its glory, For love will never die. Love is all around you, The moon and stars above. Love is a gift from God, And God is a gift of love Source:  https://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poem/gods-gift-4

MAKE ME FEEL

Take my heart; I'll give it with ease. Take my hand and walk this journey with me. Take these scars and heal them all up. Take these fears and make them vanish when things get tough. Take this smile and make it stretch so wide. Take these arms and hold me oh so tight. Take these feelings and make them real. At the end, show me how to feel.

YOU

You are what I’ve been searching for, chasing after, longing to find, every star, moonbeam and dream, all of every thing so infinitely far away and yet so intimately here in my arms. Source:  https://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poem/you-69

WHEN I LOOK BACK

When I look back On the dreams I left behind, Buried there in all my thoughts It is you I always find. I saw you then as I see you now Through love's impassioned blindness, A heart so fashioned there within Filled with love and kindness. How often has my heart declared With anguish, for my words are few, That the wind shall blow a little longer, To keep me here with you. Sweeter still are the pains of love. The bonds of love grow stronger, Even after the moonlight has gone to sleep, I shall always love you longer. No other can stir my heart so deep, Or thrill me through and through, And in my dreams, there will never be No other love but you. When I look back to times gone by There is one sure thing I know It is you my love, who stole my heart Fifty years ago. - Richard Netherland Cook -

IF NOT FOR YOU

If not for you, I wouldn’t know What true love really meant. I’d never feel this inner peace; I couldn’t be content. If not for you, I’d never have The pleasures of romance. I’d miss the bliss, the craziness, Of love’s sweet, silly dance. I have to feel your tender touch; I have to hear your voice; No other one could take your place; You’re it; I have no choice. If not for you, I’d be adrift; I don’t know what I’d do; I’d be searching for my other half, Incomplete, if not for you. By Joanna Fuchs
