A Matter Of Faith I am baptized in the soft, white moonlight that filters in through my bedroom window. I am born again by your touch. I am cleansed as each of your kisses washes away all the hurt and the pain of the past. I trust again in your arms. I am redeemed and brought up from the depths of my despair to the never ending heights of passion. I live again in your love. I kneel at your altar; drink from your chalice; bathe in the offering of your love; and in your faith, I learn to love again. "I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me , this has always been enough." ~Nicholas Sparks from The Notebook |

Ruth Sometimes our hand writes not the verse The inspiration is divine The word comes from the heaven above And it is He who writes the rhyme This is the best Liz |

Beautiful. That's all I need to say. E. Nail to the mast her holy flag, Set every threadbare sail- And give her to the god of storms, The lightning and the gale! -Oliver Wendell Holmes |

Ruth, when you throw yourself into a poem you are unsurpassable. This is excellent. |
