      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      THE RESURRECTION IS EVERYTHING, ISN’T it? It’s a metaphor for the whole Christian life. Without it, what’s dead is just dead. Over. Finished. Buried forever. No hope of new life springing forth. But in Jesus, we have the promise that death is not the

      A Part of You…

      Do you know how much I Love you?

      Do you know how much I miss you when

      You’re not around? I know that we talk

      SomeTymes for hours, but that doesn’t

      Quench my desire to have you as an

      Integral part of my life. When we are

      Together I know how close we are, but

      When we are apart I know we are together

      In spirit. Simple songs can remind me of

      The days when we lived together as a

      Family. Although we have gone our own

      Separate ways and live our own separate

      Lives, I know that we’re not ever that

      Far from home. Home that wonderful

      Place where we can spend our Tyme

      Together just talking or sharing a

      Wonderful meal. You always keep the

      Conversation lively and when the talking

      Turns to serious matters, I know we’re

      There for each other’s support. Never

      In my life have I known a Love so strong

      As the one we share together - that bond

      Of parent and child that keeps us close

      Regardless of where life leads us. No

      Matter where we go I am so happy to be

      A part of you.

      A Sad Song

      SomeTymes I just feel so all alone,

      Like I’m here, but nobody is home.

      I start to crumble and I start to cry,

      I hold my hands straight up to the sky.

      I think about you but you’re not here,

      Why you’re not is never quite clear.

      I think about you all through the day,

      You come around, but with nothing to say.

      We used to be close, now were apart,

      Seems it’s been that way from the start.

      We had a strong Love nothing could break,

      Now I’m here and my heart starts to ache.

      I think about all the Love that I miss,

      It started out with one little kiss.

      We had it all when we would make Love,

      I thought God sent you from heaven above.

      I think about you when I can’t sleep at night,

      I wish I knew how to make things all right.

      We had our chance but you wouldn’t change,

      So now it’s my life that I rearrange.

      I would have done anything just for you,

      I wanted you to know my Love is true.

      I chose the right path, you chose the wrong,

      It brings about a sad end to this song.

      All Alone

      Sad days follow sad nights all alone,

      I wish that you’d call me on the phone,

      I try to call but, you never write,

      I wish that I could see
