Standing here, glancing over there...at him The greying temples, those square shoulders... For almost 35 years he has been there Taking my burdens and bearing their weight.... Married twenty eight years, years of pure life Together - raising our children Together for the first steps, first words, first loves Together for all of the joys And sorrows..... Burying grandparents, parents and brothers... Yes, standing here looking across the room at my Soldier of Love Remembering the young boy from all those years ago Loving the man he is today Thankful for him...his strength Joining him in our dreams for the future... Holding on to all of the precious memories of the past Knowing without doubt My Soldier of Love will guard and protect me Today, tomorrow.....always [This message has been edited by BSC (edited 02-09-2000).] |

Beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes. I hope to someday have the love you described. It matters not how strait the gate; How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. --W.E. Henley |

Beautiful BSC Did Jesus laugh? I think He did, 'cause He was once a little kid; and all of us were made with joy both sugar-spice girl and snake-snail boy! |
