My Reason To Smile

My Reason To Smile

After I stopped believing
that love could ever be real.
Giving up on what I knew,
I thought my heart wouldn't heal.

To me love was just a game,
a game that I could never win.
Losing everything I had,
everything that could've been.

Then here you come into my life
changing the thoughts in my mind.
Bringing me to a new start
leaving all my pain behind.

You're the reason that I write,
brand new poems of true love.
You've given me the things I need,
everything that I've dreamed of.

You showed me how to love again,
the things I lost; in you I found.
You gave me a reason to smile,
you said I had no need to frown.

I will forever be grateful
for everything you have to give.
All the happiness I needed,
and another reason to live.

Every time I hear your name,
a smile forms across my face.
A new feeling...everlasting,
that I know nothing can replace.

I'm so thankful that I have you,
you're there when I need you most.
I don't want anything else,
I just want to hold you close.

I know you'll stay right by my side,
and walk with me that extra mile.
Your love is my reason to live,
and you are my reason to smile.

Inside Your Hug

Inside Your Hug

Inside your hug is where I like to be
It doesn't matter where it is
I find it loving, soft and warm
With a hint of loving mystery!

I can linger in your warm desire
Remaining in a soft embrace of love
Sometimes, it is pure and sacred
Like the resting place of dove!

Sometimes, it is sensual and exciting
Gathering each other up in a sensual embrace
Reflections of all that we have learned about each other
With a warm response that shows on the face!

We can be at a park on a warm summer's day
Or walking along by a stream
On a "Up North" get-a-way
A simple time by the fire at the cabin
Or dancing to music on a sunlit day!

Inside your hug is the best place to be
An acceptance of one another with perfect grace
Finding a home of refuge and strength
Wrapped inside a hug in any given place!
