My Friend, The Light

I can see a brighter light now
That entered my world quietly,
It floated in, changing me somehow
And remains my companion, silently.
We travel a path that leads to adventure
Giving us teachings and lots of challenge,
My friend the light has an intensity
That helps us easily manage.
It speaks through the language of healing
Songbirds carry it to all our ears,
If we believe the messages' meanings
Love settles deeper and moves out the fears.
The rocky road we've shared
Brought a special closeness for we two,
Our warmth and a passion that we cared
Strengthened all that we could do.
Character-building, feeling a lot More of what I might
Brings powerfully reaching ways that are right,
The silent partner always smiles full and bright
Never asking a thing, it is my friend, the light.

Tomorrow And Today

There's a beauty now within my soul
Brought in by you, who is happy and whole,
I am nourished by a spiritual rain
And vibrantly alive once again.
This gift that you share with me
Shines light where darkness used to be,
It continues to show a very clear view
Of a wonderful place we are travelling to.
The kindness in your eyes speaks a deeper truth
About a higher wisdom's spirit of youth,
Which plays a song of love from inside your heart
Revealing the importance of this fresh, new start.
For to journey together, holding each other very close
Provides the unbreakable bond sought after by most,
And no matter where we shall go or where we'll arrive
It will be as one through which we will thrive.
I have felt your touch and tasted your sweet kiss
Now the voice of my life says to make that special wish,
And soon the music of angels will tenderly play
Fulfilling the dream, for tomorrow and today.
