Poetry - Showing Us The Way

Showing Us The Way

You have been such a guiding light for us
Touching everyone with hope and grace

Your stories and life are such an inspiration
Letting us know that anything is possible

You are a loving woman and angel in disguise
Showing us to have faith and care for others

When life is harsh full of hurts & deceptions
You taught us to dream and to keep believing.

You are always here to listen and not let us fail
How do you do it, understanding before we speak.

You said don't give up and pursue your dreams
Challenging us to become the best that we can

You taught us to be ourselves with ideals and thoughts
Thank you for inspiring us to fulfill our special dreams

And yes Mamaw we listened and followed our hearts
Finding happiness in a faery tale that's coming true.

Poetry - Loving You from My Heart

Loving You from My Heart

I love you so very much Jamie
It's something I never expected

You came into my life with a simple touch
Now I am so alive and I feel so amazed

You are such a strong willed woman with determination
And oh so sensitive and wanting one who truly understands

God in His wisdom gave me a special gift the day we met
You are one in a million and love me as I never been loved

You gave me your heart and soul and I'm just so happy
Come enchant me and let's share everything together

Love can be so simple and yet so mysterious darling
Our love touches our very essence and bring us inside

You continue to amaze me my beautiful Princess
"“Come love me like no one ever has before.” Oh yeah!

Things are crazy and happen for a reason it’s true
Our love lets us understand and make it all so perfect

You’re a gifted woman who gives from your heart
I saw a priceless soul and believe in you with all that I am

You’re just so smart and have a way with words
You’re so intuitive and tell me exactly how you feel

You’ve been hurt by life, but that’s not changed you at all
Lots to share and feel as all your dreams come true

I step to you with sparkles in my eyes
Saying, "I am so in love with you babe"

I want the best for you Jamie Lynn and you’re so happy,
We are a family, you, me and your precious daughters

Now is the time for us honey to sing about love
And dance together with such excitement as a couple

Let us make sense of each day and night together
As we learn even more about life and each other

Take my hand and hold on tight darling
It’s the adventure and love of a lifetime

I love you with all that I am and I know
That together we’ll have a family blessed by Christ

I am here sweetheart with you on my mind
And thoughts of us together with Jayda and Londynn

These words tell you how much I love and adore you
And I hope you feel it too!

Poetry - US

US

I am a better woman than ever before 
You came into my life changing everything  

David you make me feel vivacious, willing and strong 
You made me feel again and have such compassion 

You made heart turn from stone and blossom 
You molded my character into a vision of beauty 

Your hands have taken me from a broken life 
And healed me from the inside out 

Your words have transformed my life really 
Before I couldn't focus, now I cling to your soul 

Now I know that I have a beautiful future and
Take guidance from your whispers of wisdom 

Your eyes see what no one has ever seen 
You saw there was hope and and just knew 

You believe in me and I'm filled with happiness 
Words can't even express how I really feel 

 I am here perched upon your wings 
As we soar through life high above the world 

We are here together, you are so majestic 
I am captivated by your every motion and love 

I hang onto your every word and all you do 
Dreams I had as a little girl are coming true 

Love is too simple a word for what has occurred 
Two humble beings brought together by Christ 

Our pathways crossed and changed everything 
Devine destiny collided and we embraced it 

There was a you and there was a me just trying 
Now He has seen fit so that there is now US

Poetry - Raindows and Dreams

 

Rainbows and Dreams

I close my eyes and don't understand...
Why do people do the things they do...
I push them away and want to hide.

I see the clouds gathering with thunder too...
All the rain and myst hides what I once knew...
Those coming closer don't matter anymore.

Why do those you love, family and friends...
Push you away and now you can't even believe...
Please take all this away do I can be free again.

Time to fly, living dreams I still have inside...
I'm falling blindly, oh Lord what can I do now...
So dark, but suddenly light and a soft place.

And angel appears calling you saying gently..
"Jamie, you’re finally ready for dreams come true...
Boy, I have some great surprises just for you.

You are so precious, beautiful with a loving heart...
If you believe in yourself then the darkness will go away...
Come here, open your heart and tell me your story.

You approach and the angel takes your hands into his...

Eyes sparkle, kissing you on your lips, smiles appear...
You think, yes I believe and want so much more now.

I never knew I'd be given a chance such as this...
Dreams you had as a child, are become real...
You need only to accept love and let your heart fly free.

So much is spinning that you can't seem to focus now...
Yes, the sun appears along with a radiant rainbow...
All because you believe and God brings love into your heart.


A special poem written to my close friend Jamie Lynn

Poetry - The Gift

The Gift

Little did I know what was about to happen ...
That remarkable day that you walked into my life..

How could I even know how my life would change ...
In ways that I could not even begin to imagine.

God gave me a precious gift that day ...
He came to me sending me a wonderful angel.

Ah, I can hear her say, "I've done some things...
That you might not realize or even like."

"So, how in hell could you even begin, or ...
Know that you'd fall deeply in love with me."

But, I did know that I would do it all ...
Even as I'm pushed to the limit and beyond.

Little did I know that God would ask me to prove...
And show who I am and what I feel inside me.

Now I know that this beautiful Love Flower....
Means so much to me and is truly my destiny.

A fateful day came when she got into a serious mess...
And I almost didn't answer that late nite call to me.

Asking me to help and be there just for her ...
And please don't push her away like all the rest.

God sent His angels to me so that I'd know...
How strong and loving I could really be.

Are you willing to take a stand no matter what...
There will be days full of pain and it's a big risk.

I thought to myself how can I do this all over again....
After I loved her and then she hurt me so much.

But I turned and knew that it was worth the risk...
I'm here to love her and hold her in my arms forever.

So I stepped up and never looked back ever again...
And God's angels came to touch our hearts together.

What more can I even say except I have begun...
A journey that is changing me into a better man.

I did everything I could so it all could become better...
Yes, the risks are great and expectations uncertain.

I stand beside my precious angel, she's my Best Friend...
I am here to comfort her and take away all the pain.

To be here to see her through many rough days ...
And to show her how strong and courageous she is.

There were days when even I had my doubts...
But I knew in my heart that it would all be fine.

Some say I saved her life with all that I've done...
But, it's me that has been saved too by my Nicole.

She tells me that I mean the world to her now ... "
You are my best friend and the only one I truly trust".

"And even more honey, I'm beginning to fly now...
For you give me strength to fulfill all my dreams."

"It's all because you stood by me and truly believed...
I'm where I am right now and I want even more!"

"Thank you .. Thank you my precious man ...
And helping me overcome hurts to discover true love".

Ah, yes, I only know what I see is in front of me now...
She has changed so much and the world is now at her feet.

You make me so happy honey as I stand next to you...
You and I are just so strong, but a little fragile too.

What really happened is that God has changed our lives...
"You know that God is great and He is here for you and me"

Yes I know as I sing praises to Him and all of the angels...
And the one angel who stood up and grew her new wings.

Now she has eyes that see just what matters the most....
Faith and dedication to God Almighty Christ the Savior.

All I can say is that I've been so touched by all this...
And know that everything is possible through faith in God.

I stand here in amazed, loving you even more babe...
As I watch you grow more and more day by day.

I know that it's our faith in God that makes this all possible...
And my promise to you is to be here for you always and forever.

It is so cool to hear you giggle and laugh, oh yeah!
This is the Nicole that I know and love so much.

I made a promise to you when we first met...
That I'd always love you and never turn away.

That means even more to me now...
After all we have shared and been thru together.

Many people hope and expect gifts of jewelry, money or even a car...
But you are different, and want somebody who can be there for you.

Yes, you are God's gift to me that is for sure...
It's all about being true to your heart and ...
Knowing that we have a lifetime to make it so.

Thank you Lord for that special gift that we both share...
Best friends true, loving each other and being ...
Such a vital part of each other and our lives too.

Written in appreciation and love for Nicole Lynn Hutchins,
My best friend and plans for the future together. You are
so precious to me and such a gift from the hands of God.
Thanks you for everything, especially for loving me and
taking this chance to make a beautiful life together.
