The dream road; I've had a dream, since I was young Of just how life should be, But through the years, try as I might, That dream eluded me. I dreamed of a life that was filled with bliss; I dreamed of love and sharing. I dreamed, imagined and creatively planned An adventure for two who were caring. The road to today was paved with the dreams That slowly got ground to dust. And I've trudged that road and carried my load And tried very hard to adjust. Each step made me stronger; each test made me wiser, So on my long walk, I grew, Till the time was right one magical night, For the road to make room for two. Now my brain shouts your name, and your loving reply Makes a place for you in my heart. (Name), it cries--so tender, so wise-- Let's make the adventure start! Together we're blessed with a perfect match, Something that's bright and new. It's not too late, so let's create.. ~Love Can Stay Strong~ When love first comes and all seems right; It's beyond our reason that we two can fight. Yet fights will come, and anger might thrive, So let's try to be sure that our love will survive. Let's make our plans with similar goals, So our wants and desires won't hit hidden shoals, That set us crashing when things get hard, So our love can stay strong even when it gets jarred. For if love can stay strong when it's tested by fire, Then we'd share a future that most would admire, A future where partners would strive side by side, A future where love would always abide.. ~Until I Met You~ Before I met you, I thought I was happy, and I was, but I had never known the rich contentment, deep satisfaction, and total fulfillment you brought to me when you came into my life. Before I met you, I felt a lot of things, good things, but I had never experienced the indescribably intense feelings I have for you. Before I met you, I thought I knew myself, and I did, but you looked deep inside me and found fresh new things for us to share. Before I met you, I thought I knew about love, but I didn't, until I met you. A life that makes dreams come true... ~You Let Me Be Me~ While others tell me I have faults and flaws, And pick me all apart and criticize, You love me, sweetheart, just the way I am; I only see affection in your eyes. My pesky quirks you only find endearing; Your perfect mate is what you choose to see; I love you for a multitude of reasons; And most of all 'cause you let me be me. I never have to change to meet your standards; Acceptance is the greatest gift you give; I appreciate you for your sweet devotion, And I'll love you for as long as we shall live. ~Beware~ When love strikes us hard and makes mush of our brain, When love sneaks in and makes us insane, All sense can depart and leave the brain blank, When love like that strikes it can drain our whole tank. So beware of the power you exert over me, For I'm under your spell; that's clear as can be. Whenever you're near, my brain slips out of joint; I fight my love, but what is the point? You're my strength and my weakness, for I love you so dearly, And I hope our love shines through the years just as clearly. ~You Let Me Be Me~ While others tell me I have faults and flaws, And pick me all apart and criticize, You love me, sweetheart, just the way I am; I only see affection in your eyes. My pesky quirks you only find endearing; Your perfect mate is what you choose to see; I love you for a multitude of reasons; And most of all 'cause you let me be me. I never have to change to meet your standards; Acceptance is the greatest gift you give; I appreciate you for your sweet devotion, And I'll love you for as long as we shall live... I love you much deeper every single moment..!
