To love you with my
   every breathe
To cherish each moment
   we share
To give to you all
   that I am
In everything I do

To live each day
   like its our first
To listen even when
   you arent saying a thing
To hear with my heart
   not just with my mind
And try to understand

To wake each day with
   you in my mind
To take you with me
   the last thing at night
To hold you close
   all through the hours
When we are far apart

All of this and more
   than I can say
All of this and more
    mere words cant convey
All the love in my heart
   all the days of my life

This I promise you


I love you...always will

these are easy promises to keep
when a heart finds true contentment
same as when a poet finds true inspiration ...
makes me smile to see you experiencing both


take care poet friend

Such beautiful words you pen!  Being the romantic that I am, I love this!  This could be a poem presented to a groom by the bride at their wedding  

Take care,

  Paula....
           You speak your thoughts like an angel, and they are always so true to your heart.  It's good to see the happiness shining through for you, for always....


Today is a gift....
That is why they call it
'the Present'!

What man could read this and not be moved?
To have love of this magnitude, solely for your own, is magnificent.  To be told that it is so... icing on the cake!
Beautiful, Paula.

Paula, This is absolutely precious! It is a greeting card, not of paper, but of thoughts of love, from your heart to his.
A delightful poem

I loved this one Paula.
This one brought a tear to my eyes, and a smile as I see her face in my day dreams.
It makes me think of my pumpkin (Kelley) and how much I miss her, and much I love her.
True Love is an amazing thing.
Never give up.
If you know in your heart that they are the one; thats all you need.
If it's meant to be; fait will take care of the rest.

Love Ya Paula, and take care.
