By Your Side

To watch you smile is like the gleam of sunlight through falling leaves.
To hold your hand is like the glow of firey coals on a winter's day.
And to look into your eyes is like being caught up in worship.
The indescribable peace of being with you cannot be mirrored by anything here on earth.

To speak with you is like a waterfall; a tumble of emotions that always ends in ease.
To embrace you is like being liberated.
And to walk with you is like the ocean's contact with the sand.
The unforgettable love I feel when I'm with you cannot be copied by anyone's word or deed.

And so I choose...I choose to be by your side.

In and Through

It is in dying that we live.
In singing that we praise.
In teaching that we learn.
In seeking that we find. In trusting that we laugh.
And that in believing we receive grace.

It is through experience that we are mindful.
Through living that we journey.
Through talking that we heal.
Through giving that we love.
And it is through loving that we forgive.
