WE'VE ONLY JUST BEGUN

We love to be in the sun
In the sun all day long
That is where we love to be
In the sun where we belong.

We love to walk along the beach
The sun rays at our back
The warm blue water within reach
We would never turn back.

We love to climb the mountain high
Under cloudless blue skies above
And walk the prairies of the land
Warmed by the sun we love.

We shall always be together
You and I in the sun
Walking along hand in hand
For we've only just begun.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY WONDERFUL WIFE

Happy Birthday to my wonderful wife
My Carmel by the Sea
My Cheyenne and my Golden Flame
You are so dear to me.

I love being with you
Every day of the year
With you I am in heaven
And I feel your angel light near.

And it is so very special
This special day we share
To share another birthday
A birthday we hold dear.

And I love you so very much
On this very special day
And each day we are together
Is special in each and every way.

IT'S A W. C. DAY

A bright sunny day
A day of joy and fun
Walking with my Carmel
In the noon day sun.

Temperature is high
Not a cloud in the sky
Blue skies everywhere
One can only sigh.

I love to walk with you
On such a beautiful day
As hand in hand we go
Merrily on our way.

On such a lovely day
Everything is swell
It's a W. C. Day
For Walter and Carmel.

YOUR LOVING TOUCH

Your loving touch
Your thoughtful way
The love in all you do
All through the day.

Your gentle smile
Your laughter dear
Send a vibration of love
To all who are near.

Your brilliant wit
Your wisdom and insight
Your aura so clear
An energy of light.

For all the treasures
You share with me
I love you dearly
My Carmel by the Sea.

WISHING YOU A DAY

Wishing you a day
Of love and bliss
Of peace and sunshine
Joy and happiness.

May you be in Nature
And your light shine bright
Shining as it does
Like the sunlight.

May you see colorful sights
Blessed by the sun above
Brilliant energy beaming down
The sunlight you love.

And may you be filled
With beaming sunlight
As you journey today
As an angel of light.

TAKE TIME TO REST

Live each day to its fullest
Each day do your best
But remember one thing
Take time to rest.

Each day as you live
Play and make jest
Have lots of fun
But take time to rest.

Exercise, run and have fun
Live up to the test
Do the best you can
But take time to rest.

And when twilight arrives
And the sun sets in the west
Have a great evening
But take time to rest.

QUIET MORNING

Quiet morning
After the rain
Waiting for the sun
To come out again.

Rain drops on the leaves
Raindrops on the ground
Water sitting
All around.

I'm ready to rise
To face a new day
My rest is over
I'm ready to play.

Here comes the sun
I'm free of rain
I'm free as a bird
And happy again.

DAYDREAM

I love to daydream
And travel on high
To other lands
High in the sky.

To see the waterfall
As it falls down
Creating a flow
Of love all around.

I love to see
The white horses there
Running through the stream
Spirit horses so dear.

And in my dreams
Both day and night
I often see you
An angel of light.

IN MY MEDITATION

In my meditation
Late at night
I project myself
Into the Light.

I travel to the stars
To another galaxy
Into the universe
And I am free.

I travel alone
To a special planet dear
Where I call home
And I love it there.

And when I return
My thoughts are clear
And I joyfully feel
My soul light near.

I LOVE A STARRY NIGHT

When the stars are out
I love to shout
My joy as I look into the sky
Watching the stars overhead high.

Oh but on a starless night
The sky would look so bare
Without the wonder of the stars
Dancing and twinkling there.

Oh but on a starry night
How I love to view the sight
Seeing the stars with delight
In the heavens twinkling bright.

And the moon at its height
Giving off its auric light
Everything is always just right
When we are together on a starry night.

MY ANGEL

I encountered an angel
On a warm summer night
Her skin so soft
Her eyes so bright.

And then I knew
It would turn to love
A mate to be with
A angel from above.

The love inside me
Just grew and grew
My heart sang lively
I think she knew.

With her I am happy
Everything's perfect it seems
For I have found
The angel of my dreams.

SHADOWS DANCING ON THE WALL

Exhausted from the day's activity
We lie in your little bed
Closely snuggled together
From our toes to our head.

In the distance we hear our train
As it toots off in the night
We will hear that sound again
That perfect sound that is just right.

We hear other sounds that are so dear
Ushered in by a light gentle breeze
Soothing sounds we love to hear
Of the wind whistling through the trees.

Then suddenly within our sight
The most perfect vision of all
Making it a perfect night
Shadows dancing on the wall.

THE FIRST STAR # 1

Many times I've gazed
At the sunset in the west
As twilight sets in
And the earth begins its rest

Beautiful colors emerge
Colorful hues that make me high
As twilight merges on
In the evening sky.

Suddenly I see one twinkling star
The first star shining bright
And I say a simple prayer
Giving thanks for that beuatiful sight.

And I say, "I Love You"
To one whom I love
One who has travelled on
To be with the angels above.

THE FIRST STAR # 2

Somewhere in the universe
A star shines in the night
A special star just for you
Giving off its twinkling light.

Sending off its loving warmth
It's there in the sky
Sparkling and glowing eternally
As the night passes by.

It's usually the first star to appear
In the early evening night
Sending love from above
Blessed by the Angel's light.

In memory of one you love
Always within your sight
Up there with the angels now
Riding on the star of light.

BUTTERFLIES

I love to see a butterfly
Flittering through the sky
Flying freely through the air
Seemingly without a care
It always make me high.

Butterflies are glorious things
With their beautiful, colored wings
Every time I see one
Glistening in the sun
My heart sings.

When I see a butterfly
I can only sigh
I feel so happy within
I could watch them agin and agin
I often wonder why.

The beauty in them that I see
As they appear carefree
It fills my soul
More than you know
And brings much joy to me.

JUST A SIMPLE WISH FOR A BEAUTIFUL DAY

Just a simple wish
For a beautiful day
And may you be blessed
As you go on your way.

May you be in the outdoors
In the land that you love
In the center of Nature
Beautiful colors around and above.

May you be like the horses
In the field so serene
Intoxicated by Nature
As if in a dream.

And may this beautiful day
Give you a lift
As you enjoy Nature's way
The Great Spirit's gift.

I LOVE FINE DINING

I love fine dining
Fine food and good wine
I expect the best
When I go out to dine.

White table cloths
And napkins the same
And a burning candle
With a flickering flame.

And a waiter serving me
With a certain flare
That makes me want to think
He is proud to be there.

Fine dining is great
And all the above is true
But only on one condition
If I am there with you.

A TOUCH OF MAGIC # 1

A touch of magic
Is like a beautiful song
It touches the heart
And lasts the whole day long.

It touches the soul
And lingers awhile
To be savored within
And without with a smile.

Our magic is dear
The magic we share
It happens so often
When you are near.

I treasure our magic
It makes my heart glow
Whenever it happens
I love it so.

A TOUCH OF MAGIC # 2

A Touch of Magic
I love to see
The magic of life
Between you and me.

Magic never ending
As we often realize
Magic so beautiful
Always a surprise.

It is so wonderful
The magic we share
May it continue
Each day of the year.

May we continue to be
A receiver and giver
Of the magic we share
May it last forever.

OUR COTTAGE HOME

Perfect in scope
Perfect in size
We have received
A wonderful surprise.

A perfect place
The very best
A place we love
Like an eagle's nest.

Flowers adorning
The backdoor patio
And plants and a garden
Where seeds we can sow.

Our cottage home
A place in the sun
Where we can share our love
Together as one.

GALAXY OF LIFE

Beautiful to behold
All calm and serene
Universe unfolding
As in a dream.

A marvelous sight
Colored with light
Oneness supreme
A picture of delight.

God's creation indeed
In a perfect glow
Evolving in the light
As above, so below.

Galaxy of life
Beautiful and true
The universe is celebrating
The wonder of you.

DREAM BIG - AIM HIGH

Dream big - aim high
Reach until you touch the sky
Take aim on your goal
And you will achieve it before you know.

Believe in yourself
And your dreams will come true
And all good things
Will come to you.

Be positive and walk upright
And hold your head up high
Smile at everyone you meet
As you pass them by.

Expect the sun to shine
And it will shine upon you
And you will be blessed
In everything you do.

HANG IN THERE

When you are feeling down
Or feeling a little fear
Turn your thoughts to love
And hang in there.

When you seem to fall behind
And setbacks seem near
Get back in line
And hang in there.

You may feel a little muddled
And things may not appear clear
Don't let yourself get befuddled
Just hang in there.

Blessed with love you are
Remember your life is dear
An angel from above you are
So hang in there.

THE MERMAID

Once I lived way up high
In a castle near the sky
Where I could see all around
And watch the clouds rolling by.

Every day I would take a stroll
Through the pasture down below
I would walk across the green
To visit a mermaid in the stream.

To my love I'd take a rose
And share my rambling prose
I would stay all day and talk
To the mermaid by the rock.

I recall those days so well
Being with the mermaid was swell
To me it was like a dream
To visit the mermaid in the stream.

MAY YOU BE TOUCHED
BY ANGEL'S WINGS

May you be touched
By angel's wings
By their sweet thoughts
And heavenly things.

May you be as an angel
Sent from afar
An angel of light
The angel that you are.

May every wish
You make come true
May your angel guide
Be close to you.

May your light be bright
As you come in the night
A cherub with wings
An angel of light.

EVENINGS AT THE COTTAGE

Evenings at the cottage
I remember so well
Everything so simple
And life was swell.

It was cozy and neat
I loved to be there
All nestled together
With my family dear.

We lived and had fun
And played all day long
And in the evenings
We sang happy songs.

Those were the days
In the cottage there
When life with my family
Was really dear.

I THINK OF YOU

I think about you all day long
I think of you the whole day through
Each and every day
I always think of you.

From the mornings warm sun rays
To the evenings carmelic glow
I think of you more warmly
Than you could ever know.

THE MAGIC WITHIN

Magic is within
The magic we share
May we have it always
Every day of the year.

May our magic grow
From below and above
And may we be blessed
With the Oneness of Love.

THINKING OF YOU

I think of you
Every time I see flowers
And I love watching flowers
I could watch for hours.

I see flowers everywhere
Beautiful flowers I love
Touched by the warmth
Of the sunlight above.

I'm always seeing flowers
No matter where I go
And I love the flowers
More than you know.

I see beautiful flowers
From the red to the blue
Every moment while I'm looking
I'm thinking of you.

MILLENNIUM TIME

As we enter a new millennium
A new era of time and space
May we be blessed with abundance
Blessed with love and grace.

May we walk in a sunbow of love
With the sunshine on our shoulders
And dance along and sing a song
And never get any older.

May we enjoy every moment
Every moment of the day
As we journey hand in hand
As we go on our way.

May we be blessed with love
And always put on a happy face
As we journey under sun and stars above
Blessed by the heavenly angels grace.

FLOWERS I LOVE

Flowers I love
In each and every way
I love to smell flowers
Each and every day.

Flowers in the morning
Flowers at night
Flowers all through the day
What a beautiful sight.

Flowers on the mountain
Flowers near the stream
By the water fountain
Flowers in my dreams.

I love flowers so very much
Flowers are so dear to me
So give me lots of flowers
For I am the Flower Girl you see.

FAMILY GATHERINGS

What a pleasure it is
To spend time with family
Connecting to one another
Sharing our joys and sorrows

We may not see each other for months
But when we get together
We embrace each other
And visits for a few days.

Each of us blessed with the knowledge
We are connected one to the other
We pause to laugh and to cry
To dance and to sing.

To close the miles between us
For a few brief days
And when it is time to leave
We go our separate ways.

We embrace and part with tears
With assurance we will come together again
And we will keep each other in our hearts
Until we see each other again.

SPRINGTIME FLOWERS

After the long cold winter
The air is now alive
It's the beginning of springtime
And the flowers have arrived.

The promise of new growth
A light warm breeze
The activity of Nature
Swelling buds on the trees.

Soon there will be
Flowers everywhere
And lovers will say
I love you my dear.

A very special time of year
Springtime brings such beautiful sights
Flowers budding everywhere
Longer days and shorter nights.

I HAVE A POEM FOR YOU

Dear Carmel by the Sea
I have a surprise
Listen carefully
And close your eyes.

I have a poem for you
And I'll recite it right away
So listen with a keen ear
To what I have to say.

This one you will like
It may be the best
But then on second thought
It may be no better than the rest.

I love writing all these poems
And I love reciting them so
And I love hearing them too
More than you'll ever know.

THANK YOU
FOR YOUR THOUGHTFULNESS

It seems some people have a way
That very few possess
A way of being gracious
With special thoughtfulness.

A way of giving all they do
A warm and loving touch
By sharing acts of kindness
That mean so very much.

It seems some people touch our lives
In all they say and do
The very dearest people
Are people just like you.

I LOVE TO HEAR
THE BIRDIES SING

I love to hear the birdies sing
Especially the blue jay
Welcoming the sun to warm the land
At the start of a new day.

I love to hear the robin red
A more glorious songbird you'll never see
Singing praises o'er the land
In perfect harmony.

I love to hear the oriole too
And the snowbird and the lark
Even the common pigeon
Cooing in the park.

I love to hear all the bird calls
And especially the crickets at night
All the sounds I love so much
All the sounds that lift my life.

WISH I COULD SEE YOU

What could be nicer
Than seeing your smile
And being with you
And just talking awhile.

Laughing and chatting
About all that is new
Fondly recalling
Our memories too.

And though we're apart
I hope we'll soon be
Enjoying each other's
Warm company.

YOU FILL MY LIFE

You are someone I turn to
When my spirits need a lift
You are someone I treasure
For your true love is a gift.

You are someone I laugh with
Over little personal things
You are someone I'm serious with
In facing whatever life brings.

You are someone who fills my life
With beauty, joy and grace
And makes the world that I live in
A better and happier place.

WHEN I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES

Love abounds it is true
And there is always a surprise
When I am near you
And I look into your eyes.

I see the world revolving there
And my heart sighs
And I am without a care
When I look into your eyes.

Everything is bright and clear
And then I suddenly realize
How happy I am to be there
When I look into yuor eyes.

I am glad I am with you
When I reach those sudden highs
Those are special times indeed
When I look into your eyes.

HELLO

"Hello" is just a little word
But when it's sent your way
It says so many friendly things
That longer words can't say.

It says you're being thought about
It says you're nice to know
Hope it adds a touch of joy
This little word "Hello".

YOU'RE THE ONE I LOVE

You're the one I love
For in the beauty of your smile
I've found a special happiness
That makes life so worthwhile.

You're the one I love
For every moment we're together
I know I've found a special love
A love to last forever.

WITH LOVE ON YOUR BIRTHDAY

As long as I live
And with each day we share
I'll do anything for you
I'll go anywhere.

As long as forever
My love will be true
And as long as I live
I'll love only you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

As you celebrate your birthday
I'll be sharing with you too
And thinking of you specially
As I so often do.

Wishing you all the happiness
A time like this can bring
And a year that also holds
The best of everything.

HAVE I EVER TOLD YOU?

Have I ever told you
Just what you mean to me
I can't imagine what
Without you life would be.

I can truthfully say
That with each kiss, each touch
And each special moment we share
I love you so very much.

YOU HAVE A WAY ABOUT YOU

You have a way about you
That's definitely your own
It comes out in your thoughtfulness
That you've so often shown.

It makes you very special
Really wonderful to know
You are all those things and more
I just had to tell you so.

A WISH FOR YOU

May God grant you always
A sunbeam to warm you
A moonbeam to charm you
a sheltering angel
So nothing can harm you
Laughter to cheer you
Faithful friends near you
And whenever you pray
Heaven to hear you.

MY LOVE FOR YOU

Soft as a petal
Sweet as a rose
My love for you
Just grows and grows.

THINKING OF YOU

Thinking of you today
With love in every thought
Thinking of all the joy you've shared
The happiness you've brought.

Thinking of just how nice it is
Today and every day
To have someone as dear as you
To think about this way.
