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 |

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. Trev. |

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.
