A LOVER’S EMBRACE

file000867052387

There are
Mother hugs
Father hugs
Sister and brother hugs
But, oh, there is nothing
Like a lover’s hug
It floods
One’s heart and soul
With warmth, love and joy
Cheek to cheek
Heart to heart
Arms enfolding
Gently protecting
Reassuring, healing
A lover’s embrace
Is purest grace.

MY LOVE

The simple life for me
You, a home, a family
Are all for which I dreamed
And only vaguely schemed
You’ve brought great joy to me
May you each day, each year
Be always glad I’m near
As I am glad, as glad can be
To have you here and near to me.
