Happy Birthday My Love

Today is the most special day of the year,
Today is the day -
that the most amazing man was born,
Today is the day -
that the answer to my wishes came true,
Today is the day -
that my true home came to earth.

Today is the most special day of the year,
Today is the day -
that the world became a better place,
Today is the day -
that the stars shown brighter in the sky,
Today is the day -
that the angels sang louder with joy,

Today is the most special day of the year,
Today is the day -
that a piece of heaven came down,
Today is the day -
that many lives gained much needed hope,
Today is the day -
that those broken and lost became fixed and found.

Today is the most special day of the year,
Today is the day -
that my soul became whole,
Today is the day -
that my heart was unbroken,
Today is the day -
that my life was filled with color.

I Wanted

I wanted to do something special,
Really special for you,
But anything that I could,
Well it wouldn't be equal to you,
It wouldn't do you justice.
But anything that I thought,
Well it wouldn't be worthy of you,
It wouldn't shine as bright.

I wanted to give you the world,
But mine is so little - and
Yours is so large,
But mine is so poor - and
Yours is so rich,
But mine is so simple - and
Yours is so elegant.

I wanted to write you an epic,
But I am no Keates,
And you deserve Byron,
Verse that would soar,
But I am no Poe,
And you deserve Annabelle Leigh,
Words that woo,
But I am no Shelly,
And you deserve Rumi.

I wanted to wrap you in finery,
But I only have cotton - and
You are made for silk and satin,
I wanted to drape you in jewels,
But I only have gemstones - and
You deserve gold and diamonds,
I wanted to surround with beauty,
But I only have watercolor roses - and
You deserve Minot and Van Gohg.

I Say To You

Today the sun shines bright
Hear the summer rain
All the rainbows brightly colored
Now the flowers drink
Kneel among the trees

Yes more laughter
One hand in the other
Under the starlight

Make sweet dreams
Yours always the sweetest

Head on your shoulder
Easy as Sunday morning
Roof top dancing
Oh my Hero, I love you

Sometimes Once Then Tomorrow

Sometimes the words flow freely,
Sometimes you choke on what you cannot say,
Sometimes they fly through your mind like a whirlwind,
Sometimes the pain destroys all you wanted to say,
Sometimes in the dark the words beat you up,
Sometimes they are so big they crush you.

Once the lines enticed the ears,
Once the stories intrigued the mind,
Once the dreams spoke of love to come,
Once the sound soothed past pain,
Once promises nourished the heart,
Once hope energized the soul.

Then truth broke the illusion,
Then honesty destroyed desire,
Then silence imprisoned you,
Then darkness cast you adrift,
Then loneliness was all you had,
Then forever became your sentence.

Tomorrow to the child is grand,
Tomorrow to the youth is forever,
Tomorrow to the lover is bliss,
Tomorrow to the lost is just a word,
Tomorrow to the broken is torture,
Tomorrow to the forgotten isn't.
