a hearty affair

Visit the zoo,

And every hotel's loo.

Next, cook a meal,

Up on a hill.

Blast the music,

While having the picnic.

Then, play football,

Must pretend to fall.

After that, go for walks,

Don't just sit and talk.

Sing the blues,

And act like fools.

Take a few pictures,

Without your dentures.

Tickle each other,

Let there be laughter.

Stop! Smell the flowers,

And eat more burgers.

Finally, loot at stars,

Cuddle up in the car ...

There are many ways to a hearty affair,

One could even play a game of 'Truth or Dare'.

But when the sun has set,

It's not 'bout what one will get.

After all is said and done,

It's how much you've both had fun!

skylight

Above the bed it hangs
Looking out to the night,
Welcoming the sun each dawn.

As I lie here
My thoughts miles away with you,
I remember that beneath each star,
Beneath each moon,
Beneath each morning that rises,
The same Son looks down on you,
From the same sky.

And I know we are secure,
Under this skylight.

one day

Today it rained,

Storms of words as tears fell.

Wading through the mud,

Finding reason in the flood.

"Why do these waters always fall on us?

Does no one else feel the shiver

The sorrow with no shelter from the shower?"

I don't know ....

I wish this rain hadn't come.

Still ....

One day,

The rain will pass and the sun will shine,

Glorious in colours, all seven.

We'll kick our heels and run and fly,

In fields of green and skies, all blue.

One day,

I will give you a ring,

And tell you, "I do."

And on that day,

I will remember this moment,

And the rain,

For it makes me treasure you more,

And makes that day more wonderful than any other.

I don't know when this day will be,

But it will come,

And I will wait.

Through the rains that come,

And the miles we travel,

Past the words we hear,

And the tears we cry.

I close my eyes,

And think of that day with you.

One day.

These lines are not finished,

This story not complete,

But we will be ... one day.
