Ready For Love

Take my hand and lead the way;
Tell me all you want to say.
Whisper softly in my ear,
All those things I want to hear.
Kiss my lips and touch my skin;
Bring out passions deep within.
Pull me close and hold me near;
Take away my pain and fear.
In the darkness of the night,
Be my beacon, shine your light.
In the brightness of the sun,
Show me that you are the one.
Give me wings so I can fly,
For I can soar, when you’re nearby.
Enter my heart, break down the wall;
It’s time for me to watch it fall.
I’ve been a prisoner; can’t you see?
Break my chains and set me free.
Strip me of my armor tight;
You’ll find I won’t put up a fight.
Release my soul held deep within...
I’m ready now, let love begin.

 "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

Nothing reflects more beauty in you than your heart Ruth.......Simply beautiful  

 I have learned that the pain of a lost love will fade, But the memory of having loved will last forever.

Where there is love,
there is peace.
Where there is peace,
there is GOD.
Where there is GOD,
there is no need.
