Time passing sings loudly
Measure not the Journey
Nor the choices made
Rather unions formed,
Vows spoken freely,
Promises of everlasting love,
They are the hands elevating our spirit
To touch God
Can you see the Beauty of it?

Their faces one with a higher power
As they join with the other, now
Two people peacefully united,
Delivering breaths of light
To a world seeking grace
There is such beauty in it

Holding our heads high
We donate our tears
As they vow to Have and to Hold
We cry as we too have witnessed
God's love bless our own union
Each clinging tear our gift to them
Knowing the light of the Holy Spirit
Shall be their arms on tired days
We have seen the beauty of it

Embracing on this joyous day
Blessed by God,
Witnessed by family and friends
Each one us gives to them
The singular power of Faith
Knowing Faith to be God's timeless
Sustainer of life and eternal joy
That is the Beauty of it

ANOTHER Poem:

ANGELS ON DUTY

Did you hear your alarm this morning?
Like ten thousands weights chained to our feet
We drag ourselves to the edge of our shuffled bed
White sheets reeking of sleep drape our legs,
With our body bent in half,
we devour heavy breaths of air
Hoping this will replenish our tired spirit,
the work of this day infects our mind
Rocking ourselves will comfort our soul,
Or so it seems...
The morning bell tolls the Angels to their duty
Wings wrapping souls is the first order of business
Their mission: to strengthen mankind's resolve
to make today better than yesterday
They wash our light in lullabies from the world beyond
And we are unaware of our body, as though filled with air,
being lifted to a soft cloud
where whispers in our ear
give us the secret to life each and every day
We are reminded of our calling by the love we can't see
and as we reach to erase the noise of the morning clock,
a smile of truth warms us in a freshly heated blanket
For within our being shines the gift of knowledge, that,
the world is our neighbor,
and hope is but a prayer away

ANOTHER LOVE POEM:

So Much of Me Belongs to You

My love for you fell on my heart
like the weight of ten thousand drops
For I awoke from sleep, and I did weep
Lonely is my heart for you

The tears they fill my eyes
as this pen scribbles words of love
I want you so
I want you to know
Please don't go
I love you so
The miles between us they grow
but somehow I'm able to see
that without I'd be
forever alone, forever at sea

I awoke you from sleep
to see if you weep
for my love as I do yours
I needed a gentle word
a soft voice
a tear
to compensate for the emptiness
of your not being here

I don't ask your forgiveness
for the intrusion upon your rest
for if you love me you will understand
and anger shall be the emotion furthest

So much love,
so much crying,
so much caring,
so much loneliness,
so much

Wishing you well, Barb
Find your peace and find your place in this world
Smile even when it hurts
Complete your life plan
See the beauty around you, it's plentiful
You'll find it in the smallest things
and always remember, you are loved
