A KISS TO BUILD A DREAM ON
Author: Unknown

Give me a kiss to build a dream on,
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss.
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A kiss to build a dream on.
...oOo...
Give me a kiss before you leave me,
And my imagination will feed my hungry heart.
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on.
...oOo...
When I'm alone with my fancies...I'll be with you
Weaving romances...making believe they're true.
...oOo...
Give me your lips for just a moment,
And my imagination will make that moment live.
Give me what you alone can give,
A kiss to build a dream on.

A MOTHER'S PRAYER
Author: Unknown

Dear Lord, it’s such a hectic day,
With little time to stop and pray,
For life’s been anything but calm
Since You called me to be a mom -
Running errands, matching socks,
Building dreams with wooden blocks,
Cooking, cleaning, finding shoes
And other stuff that children lose,
Fitting lids on bottled bugs,
Wiping tears and giving hugs,
A stack of last week’s mail to read –
So where’s the quiet time I need?
Yet, when I steal a moment, Lord,
Just at the sink or ironing board,
To ask the blessings of Your grace,
I see then, in my small one’s face,
That you have blessed me
All the while –
And I stoop to kiss
That precious smile.

A THANKSGIVING POEM
Author: Robert Frost

God, we thank you for this food
For rest and home and all things good
For wind and rain and sun above
But most of all for those we love

AS TIME GOES BY
Author: UnKnown

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is still just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.
|
And when two lovers woo,
They still say: "I love you."
On that you can rely.
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.
|
Moonlight and love songs - never out of date
Hearts full of passion - jealousy and hate
Woman needs man - and man must have his mate
That no one can deny.
|
It's still the same old story,
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die.
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.

DEAR DADDY
Author: Unknown

In all the things I try to do,
I want to do them just like you.
I'm watching every move you make
And trying to take each step you take.
------!!!------
Although right now I'm sort of small,
When I'm with you I feel ten feet tall.
Like you, I want to be brave and smart,
'Cause I love you, Daddy with all my heart.
------!!!------
When I am older I'll be so glad
If I grow up to be
Just like Dad.

THE IDEAL WOMAN
Author: Gilbert James

She’s a lady within a lady
She’s a heart within a heart
She spreads out to give you shady
From within her inward part

She’s a woman of tending caliber
She’s a vision of sending ranks
And her love is like a river
That flows from within her banks

It ascends to the high and mighty
It descends to the weak and low
In meekness it runs and cites thee
Like an arrow thumbed from her bow

May the good Lord bless and keep her
And supply her every need
May His loving wings spread over
And protect her cherry seed

Dedicated to Cynthia Scott, whose life has been
a living Bible and has reached out and helped
countless numbers of needy folks who have
come her way, including me (Gilbert James)

GIVEN
Author: Gilbert James

Given
I give myself to thyself
As darkness does to light
I lose myself in thyself
In thee I take my flight

If I had the world of love-choice
I’d lose them all for thee
For dove, I have this one vice
I see no one but thee

Oh yes I learn the language
That dearest love has taught
My dear thou art the sandwich
That’s flared to fill my heart

I’ll show my love unto thee
From the deepest of my heart
I’ll give the love that’s due thee
From thee I’ll never part

LOVE’S HIDDEN TREASURE
Author: Gilbert James

Woven, carved and well put together
Darling, you’re my love’s hidden treasure
Golden, star of my planet ever
True love knows we’re meant for each other

Love, I dream you in my dreams
Sail with you down my love streams
You’re the light in my love-beams
And with you, my cold heart steams

One by one they come and go
As they each put on their show
But my heart keeps saying no
No one else can I love so

I fore-see us in forever
As the truest lovers ever
As the ones life’s storms can’t shiver
And the love that severs never

THE GLUTTONOUS LOVE
Author: Gilbert James

Dear Love,
Why couldn’t you just say borrow or rent or even
lease?
Why do you have to say OWN?
Why couldn’t you just say tomorrow, or day after to­
morrow, or even the day after?
Why do you have to say FOREVER?
Why couldn’t you just say sorrow, or more sorrow, or
even much sorrow?
Why do you have to send YOUR ARROW?
Why couldn’t you just take my first heart, or my sec­
ond, or even my third?
Why do you have to OCCUPY MY INNERMOST
HEART?
Why couldn’t you just take my thoughts in the morn­
ing, or morning and noon, or even morning, noon, and
evening?
Why do you plague my entire being ROUND THE
CLOCK?
If there is an answer, I would like to know!

EARTH’S LOVE ANGEL
Author: Gilbert James

Hi earth’s angel dressed in love
Who looks like love sent from above
But flew away like turtle dove

You split my heart before you went away
You slit my chart, now I can’t find my way
I miss my path to love recovery bay

My heart is now bleeding, the blood from your love arrow
For you it is pleading, please quench my love sorrow
No one is succeeding to reach my love marrow

Come home my love angel, come live in my love dome
Don’t roam, my sweet angel, this earth is full of foam
Come home my earth’s angel, this romance leads to home

SURRENDER
Author: Gilbert James

O my darling, I surrender
Love’s crowned beauty, I break down
For my roaring heart you conquer
With your mysteries all unknown

With your love-wind strong and mighty
You have swept my heart away
To love-mountain high and lofty
Where it now will never stray

From the deepest of its deepest
Now my heart cries out for thee
Make me chiefest that thou seekest
That, my love, have I made thee

So my honey, please don’t worry
I will never let you down
Take it slowly, do not hurry
I will ever be your own

“DAFFODIL”
Author: Gilbert James

Are you feeling so distraught,
You know not even where to start,
To map your true chart,
To the rhythms of your heart?

As you aim to hit your target,
And strain to fit life’s pocket,
Does sore pain become your jacket,
And your veins seem out of socket?

Please, my darling, be of good cheer.
Face your struggles, do not fear!
All the signs so now declare,
That your skies will soon be clear.

Think of God my darling dear.
And remember, I do care.
Though your efforts brought you tears,
My love for you, will not wear.

THE CAUTIOUS HEART
Author: Gilbert James

My ever going logo is “never make love bet”
I never give love go-go, am fearful of its threat
I sever any love-line that striveth so to set
For fear that it will rewind and leave me just its net

Cautiously I travel
Carefully I lie
Consciously I tackle
Contending love cry

Hello, says your love-plea, my love, my dove, is free
Oh go, cries your love-ship, I’ll wait right here for thee
No show, crows your whirlwind, my love-wind you won’t
see
Aglow, mows your garden, for this love grows in me

Free? free? asks my poor heart
Se! Se! your love pleas
Love spaceship! please, don’t depart
Just wait right there for me

Let’s go now, dear love-wind
Love space-ship waits for me
My heart is full of roses
Love Garden this must be

THE ONE AND ONLY YOU
Author: Gilbert James

Thanks to who, my, love, for you?
Most to you for being you.
You were born a little you.
Now you’re just a bigger you.

Only you, my love, are you.
Solely, wholly, purely you.
No one else sweet dove, is you,
Or can be exactly you.

You are truly, truly, you.
Not a counterfeit of you.
Yes, your body houses you.
Not your shadow kid, but you.

So, be glad that you are you.
And just fall in love with you.
Now, please take good care of you.
You’re the one and only you.

THE TURTLE DOVE
Author: Gilbert James

In awe I watch you turtle dove
And swear you came down from above
I watch them as they push and shove
To take a hold of you my love

My mind thinks thoughts of many sorts
That say we’ll never come apart
But love, I pray deep in my heart
That these be part of our love chart

My dreams, my dove, are made of you
I only wish that they come true
And if my dreams of you come true
No storm can separate us two

I wish we’d never say good-bye
But stay together by and by
At times, my love, my mouth will try
But my heart sure can’t tell such lie

Every time I look at you, my heart just takes a giant leap
Every time I think of you, My love just sinks more inches deep
Every time I dream of you, I wish that I could live in sleep
Every time I move from you, I feel to just sit down and weep

THE DISTANT CONNECTION
Author: Gilbert James

Blow me a kiss and I’ll feel like tomorrow
Blow me a kiss and I’ll get by today
Blow me a kiss and I’ll feel no more sorrow
Blow me a kiss and you’ll brighten my way

Give me your lips and my path you will narrow
Give me your lips and my heart you will sway
Give me your lips, I’ll receive your love-arrow
Give me your lips and your dues you will pay

Lend me your tongue and I’ll see you as my sparrow
Lend me your tongue and I’ll hear what you say
Lend me your tongue and you’ll suffocate my marrow
Lend me your tongue and I’ll come without delay

THE SPLIT HEART
Author: Gilbert James

I told you to stop
You still set your trap
And now you slit my chart

I was full and complete
I knew no defeat
And wow, you sent your dart

To my heart it took its fleet
Went through without retreat
Until it tore me apart

I rejected you before
You still tried to score
now you split my heart

THE OVERCOMER

Put your mouth on my mouth
Pull me for I am thine
Lock your spout on my spout

Lose yourself in my-self
As I’ll do in thine
Store yourself on my-shelf
Then will we be fine

THE PHONE CALL
Author: Gilbert James

I phoned my heart and my true love, you were there
I phoned my heart and your true sound did not wear
I phoned my heart and you cried out loud and clear
Handle me please, with tender loving care
I phoned my heart and your sweet voice I did hear
I phoned my heart and you greet me with a cheer
I phoned my heart and you answered yes I am here
Please don’t drown me with your crocodile tears
Alone I thought but you cried out do not fear
Alone I thought just to find out, you were here
My own I sought but my heart found you my dear
My own I sought thus to find out, “you’re my heir!”

SURE
Author: Gilbert James

There are many things I don’t know
There are many things I don’t claim to know
There are many things I don’t need to know
But there is one thing that I know, “I am in Love with you”
There are many things that I don’t have
There are many things that I don’t claim to have
There are many things that I don’t need to have
But there is one thing that I do have, and that is true love for you
There are many things that I don’t mind losing
There are many things that I really wish to lose
There are many things that I need to lose
But beyond any shadow of doubt, I’d never want to lose you
