Believe Me, My Love

Believe Me, My Love

I felt helpless when the earth just stopped, and tragedy scourged you with its whip.Watched your soul bleed faith, heard your heart cry love, and I winced with every drip.The loss and pain you’ve suffered through, should now render you immune.Believe me love, my love for you is deeper than your wounds.

 When I looked into your heart, I could see the welts and scars.The reasons that I loved you were as countless as the stars.When I looked into your eyes, tears flowed like spring monsoons.Believe me dear, my love for you is deeper than your wounds. You worried me, which fed my fears, but surprised me with your fight.Amazed you could get out of bed, when dawn poured her morning light,You’re stronger than a hurricane, and you eclipsed just like the moon.Believe me honey, my love for you is deeper than your wounds. My gift to you, if there were no rules, for our anniversary,is to take you back , baby close your eyes, to the way things used to be,you’re curled up in bed with your three boys, fit snug like silver spoons.Believe me darling, my love for you is deeper than your wounds. When I look into your heart, I still see the welts and scars.The reasons I admire you are as endless as the stars.When I melt into your eyes, sadness lingers as life resumes.Believe me, my love: my love for you is deeper than your wounds. You’ve made my life a banquet, you’re my soul mate and my lover,I fell in love with my best friend, and married a wonderful mother.Your songs of love and encouragement remain constantly in tune.Believe me my love, my love for you is deeper than your wounds.

Just Beautiful

Smiles:) Barbara Teary eyes A song, as I read it, the music flowed beautifully in my head. Beautiful image of her and the three boys snug like silver spoons is my favorite part. Sorry for your lost. Takes lots of love, effort and prayer to stay together after such a tragedy.

Thanks

for your kind words....that's my favorite line also. She used to love to get them all on the bed with her, no matter their age and size, and hug them up. They loved it too! Thanks again, Tom

Believe me

I am flabberghasted, I don't think I can ever forget this. I cannot know what it is to lose as you have. The love for your wife comes through loud and clear also. I cannot express how much this has meant to me to read it. Well done sir, WELL DONE! Rett

Very lucky indeed

but it comes from within, and when you've found the right one, it's just right. I know I'm pushy, but I would appreciate you reading my "Dream of Life" Thank you, thank you Tom
