Lucky

Flat on my face again -
2 and a half minutes of tears
then i’m tangled in your
arms, a comfort i never
before thought i’d come to
appreciate so damn well.
If i could ask God anything
it would most definitely
be, “How did I get so lucky?”
because if nothing else in
this world, i’ve got you
right here by my side
protecting my heart, the only
part of me that refuses to break.

I Will Love You

from the bottom of my heart,
to the tips of my toes,
to the tops of great mountains,
’til the end of the road,
i will love you, my darling,
like birds love to sing,
and children love to play,
i will love you infinitely,
day after day.

To the end of the earth,
to the deepest blue sea,
beyond every desert,
beneath any tree
None of these things
reach nearly as far
as my love for you
by plane or by car

And when autumn fades,
and springtime has passed,
I will hold you through winter,
up close to my chest,
so you can hear the vibrations,
of love pounding through,
just my heart’s way of
thanking you for all that you do.
