      Dear Daddy

      May 20, 2019

      Yours is the first face I saw when I came into the world. At first, I was scared. It was so cold and bright. But then I heard your voice. I remembered it immediately — warm, deep and comforting. I didn’t expect you to be so big. My whole body fits in

      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      The Fighting Few

      We the chosen few

      Women amongst all the men

      We stand shoulder to shoulder

      Weapon in hand again and again

      We fight to survive

      We will fight every foe

      Through sandy deserts and sea

      If that’s the place we have to go

      Be we Private or Officers

      We are Military all the same

      It doesn’t matter where we come from

      Or are you afraid of the name

      We are women, the fairer sex

      But we are not made of stone

      Why should our men be the ones to die

      Why should our men fight alone

      They go out there to fight for you

      To protect your loved ones

      And they do a wonderful job these

      Brothers, fathers and sons

      But what of us the chosen few

      Those women who choose to fight

      Our cause is just as noble

      And it is our God given right

      So stand up all the ladies

      We shall march beside our men

      We will fight and we will die

      And we will do it again and again

      We are sisters, daughters and wives

      Make the enemy know they are wrong

      Our faith will move mountains

      And we are just as strong

      We will be the best of the best

      And we will protect our country

      For united we will stand

      As we fight to victory.

      Wishes I Send

      In this world full of hurt and pain

      I need someone to help me keep sane

      To comfort me when I’m sad

      Especially when things keep going bad

      I need someone to hold me tight

      Who will not give up without a fight

      A special someone who will dry my tears

      To tell me how to overcome my fears

      A special person who loves me for who I am inside

      To show me there is nothing more to hide

      This person who will still be standing strong

      Even though everything has gone horribly wrong

      I need someone who is willing to give me more

      Who will not show me any door

      Someone strong and kind and free

      Who will wrap himself totally around me

      Am I being selfish to want to be

      The same as you that I can see

      To love and cherish and to learn

      What it is I always yearn

      To be loved for myself is all I need

      No hidden clauses - nor fixed deed

      I wonder, are you out there my special friend

      These simple wishes to you I send.

      ~*~

      Come Close to Me

      Come close to me, my special love

      I want to hear your heart next to mine

      I need to hold you close in embrace

      While our two warm bodies gently entwine

      I want to feel your fingertips

      And your warm lips to meet mine

      I need to feel forbidden feelings

      For I know they will be simply divine

      Come closer to me, my sweetheart love

      I have so much love to give

      I so want to keep sharing it with you

      Forever how long we both shall live.

      ~*~

      I Love…

      I love your soft kisses

      I love your soft touch

      I love the way you bite your lip

      I love you so very much

      I love the way you look at me

      I love the way you smile

      I love the way you’re shy sometimes

      Every once and a while

      I love the way you cuddle

      I love the way you sleep

      I love the way you rub your neck

      Especially when you think so deep

      I love all of you

      Nose, lips, hair, and yes your feet

      I will never stop loving you

      For you are so amazingly sweet

      I love that I love you

      I have loved you from the very start

      I LOVE totally all OF YOU

      You have the key to my heart.

      ~*~

      No Place…

      The moon has not even begun to glow

      And the sun had yet to start its shining flow

      I lie here thinking about you all the time

      The one whose mountain I used to climb

      I love you so much and you can never understand

      I’ll be with you forever just promise to hold my hand

      For Love in all its boundaries is now open wide

      There is no place to run -no place to hide

      In this world of harshness and yet grace

      I long to sit still and watch your face

      To see the sparkles leap into your eyes

      To hear the whisper of your sighs

      But there is no place I would rather be

      Then to have you cuddled up next to me

      To hold each other amidst the peaceful sounds

      Satisfaction still abounds.

      ~*~

      You…

      There is so much to share with you

      Yet my words are lost within me

      I have so many emotions

      How do I make you see

      Life is not as simple

      Hear this from my heart

      Love will concur all

      When we stand here at the start

      Not speaking to you is killing me

      You over
