How do we know when we have fallen in love It strikes us suddenly like lightning from above. It arrives without fanfare, trumpets or horns Surrounded in beauty, our hearts it adorns. It leaves us breathless and weak, right down to our knees It fills our souls with butterflies and honey-producing bees That send shivers and tingles from our head to our toes Our spirits cry out in happiness, for everyone knows. We cannot disguise the new emotions we feel When two hearts are joined, for love it is real Never wanting to be apart, together always we seek Soft words of encouragement that often we speak. We miss them each moment before the house they do leave Like a basket woven together in love they do weave Two hearts that feel laughter, joy, and whats more No one is burdened, if both spouses do snore. They will always face each day with vigor and pride Holding each other, the journey through life do they ride Sharing children and pain, that draw them nearer as one So love blossoms together like the rays from the sun. Leaving short notes that say I love you my dear So even at work, they are together and near Soft words are spoken, never harsh or with pain When we fall in love, it is like a new falling rain. Covering our tears and heartaches we've faced So each day is a new beginning, our past is misplaced. Never remembered or brought up in the heat of the night So love it does grow, without arguing with might. When we fall in love, we vow to give everything we are To create a new relationship, like the birth of a star Providing light and a beauty, like new fallen snow Never throwing it away in anger, what we reap we will sow.

With a love so tender residing in my heart I can see you only in my dreams while we are apart Holding me close and wiping away my tears Just standing beside me, to alleviate my fears. I have never known a love that is more gentle and true All my dreams became reality the moment I met you I have given you my heart, my life, and my soul Please never abuse them or throw my love in a bowl. To be misused, discarded and destroyed in a blink of an eye Feelings of love are too special and deserve what we try To make our relationship work, through good times and bad It is hard sometimes to trust our instincts when one is had. How can I tell you about the love that I feel? Without making it sound like I am spinning a wheel To discover where it lands, do we win or do we lose Only together forever, our love do we choose. I want to show you that you are loved and adored I know being apart makes you frustrated and bored Please have faith, patience, and believe in me We can overcome all obstacles and then cross the sea. To live in love forever and our home begins new Every morning refreshed as a new spring’s dew I feel a tender and gentle love towards the woman I adore Believe in me always and our love will grow more. You are the dream and the one wish that my heart makes We will share ups and downs and overcome our mistakes Eternity is what we shall make it and never be apart For you only forever, I have given you my heart.

Friends may come and friends may go Were they here for a reason, that we don't know Did they strengthen, help us, and put us back on track or did they overstay their welcome so we never want them back. True friends that we find are like a good pair of shoes Time worn, strong and dependable, when we have the blues Lending their shoulder, their hands held in our own Wiping our tears, when we are hurt and groan facing each day with someone kind we can always speak to Never having to worry about what they should do They are the sounds of nature, whispering in our ear Everthing will be alright in time, their message is clear True friends should never be taken for granted, hurt, or thrown away If we give them our hearts, together forever they will stay Dear to our lives, to make us stronger each day We should thank our friends for they show us the way To a brighter tomorrow without trouble or strife I hope my friends that I love will be with me for life.

I have asked myself this question Many times throughout the years Why do people hurt us? And strive to bring us tears. We live each day to do whats right But people fight with all their might To destroy things that are so true And replace them with evil and things they view. We try to bring them happiness, each day throughout the years But everything we do for them, is ignored without the fears. Many will lie, scam, cheat, and steal from us our joy They walk in darkness every day and only seek to us annoy. Why can't they see the light and work for what they get Life is never easy, but what do you expect Love, peace, harmony, and our joys were here first Live each day in honesty and never will we thirst The world will be much better, that you can expect If we treat others with kindness, and show them our respect.

I THANK GOD THAT I ARRIVED ON THE WAYN SITE ONE DAY I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW IF I WOULD WANT TO STAY PEOPLE APPEARED SINCERE, HONEST, AND TRUE WOULD PEOPLE LIE, SCAM, OR MAKE OTHERS FEEL BLUE TO MY DELIGHT, PEOPLE ARE GENEROUS, HONEST, AND CARING THEY LIVE IN A WORLD WITH MANY PICTURES WORTH SHARING WE MAY NEVER VISIT THEIR HOMES OR SEE WHAT THEY SEE BUT THROUGH THEIR EYES, FOR A MOMENT, WE TRULY CAN BE STANDING WHERE THEY STOOD FOR A SINGLE MOMENT IN TIME NO CARES IN THE WORLD, NO STRESS, ANXIETY OR CRIME. NATURE AND THE BEAUTY THATS SHOWN WITHIN EACH SOUL TO LOVE EACH OTHER AS FRIENDS FOREVER IS OUR MAIN GOAL. ACCEPTING WHO WE ARE WITHOUT BORDERS OR MILES TRYING TO BETTER THE WORLD BRINGS US NOTHING BUT SMILES THIS IS A POEM FROM THE HEART TO SAY THANK YOU TO MANY WHO HAVE MADE ME FEEL WELCOME AND INSPIRED A PLENTY. BY: D. H. Reid A PASSIONATE HEART BY: D. H. REID What do we wish for as we walk through this life? A gentle embrace, unconditional love from our wife Nothing should hurt one hair on her head Always support and encourage so her knowledge is fed It is said you never hurt the one that you love She is a daughter of the most high, sent from above A woman may not have the wings of an angel But she has compassion and love to make others feel well. She nurses us, and heals us with her tender touch That is why men lean on them as they would a crutch. Men will abuse them, and hurt them, and make them cry How can they be so cruel to women, who always do try? As the beauties of nature surround us each day May the women in our lives hold evil at bay They are the glue that holds relationships together Like storms in our lives, no one knows better. What lies in the heart behind soft, passionate eyes? Is it the warmth and splendor of summers blue skies? Will their love be displayed with elegance and charm? Or will the man in their lives cause them disgrace and harm. As a bouquet of roses are displayed with pride Soft petals and thorns exist side by side As the petals of a rose affects us each day True love and integrity are always on display.

WHEN HEARTS COLLIDE BY: D. H. REID. No one knows when two hearts collide as one True love will be revealed like the rays from the sun It arrives without fanfare, trumpets, or noise It just appears out of the blue, like new Christmas toys. It is often felt in the touch of a breeze It is felt so strong that it buckles the knees. It reveals itself in nature and blooms into flowers A gentle embrace can stretch into hours. What do you see when you look into their eyes Do you see love and gentleness, or a soul in disguise? Two people in harmony… that is the goal Two paths as one….to enlighten the soul. When will they meet and fall head over heels The question is a mystery that no one feels Love appears suddenly, when you open the door If they treat each other kindly, their love becomes more As the years pass by, relationships are born With love and understanding, kindness adorn Never hurting each other and searching for a cure A couple can withstand anything if they will only endure TRUE LOVE KNOWS NO BOUNDS BY: D. H. REID When do we know that we are in love? The answer is around us, it fits like a glove We feel passion and awe, to hold them so near We see ourselves in them, as a reflection’s mirror We miss them before we step out of the house We race into their arms like we have stepped on a mouse We long for their passionate embrace and kisses It doesn’t matter if they were just washing the dishes The sounds of springtime, forever we hear Birds chirping happily, bees swarming near Everything working in harmony, together in fun Growing together forever, forever as one Always longing each day to never be apart Two souls as one, joined by their heart How do we love our eternal soul mates? By showing kindness and mercy and going on dates Keep love alive by doing the small things And we will never have to worry if our wife wears her rings Always be there for her without reading her mind Like the flowers in the garden, so gentle and kind Never hurt the one we love is our main goal How can we hurt ourselves if we know our role? We know that true love knows no bounds Listen with our heart, so we know the sounds.
