English poetry

With the rustling of the trees
And the call of every bird,
If you listen really closely
His voice can be heard...


If you open your eyes
It's not hard to see
God's little messages
In nature and beauty.


He sends his love
In many shapes and sizes,
Like flowers and rainbows
And other surprises!


Though it's not hard to find,
As it's certainly not rare...
There's no need to search,
Because His love is everywhere!


For the Lord sends reminders
Throughout all our days,
Of how much he loves us
In so many ways.

I hear of well-meaning parents
Who try to tell their teens
That they are too young to know
What true love really means

Have they forgotten already
The feelings young love brings
That makes your knees all shaky
And fits your heart with wings

I relish now the memories
Evoked by my first love
Many ideas have been born
Which I can still write of

He filled me with excitement
His kisses were oh, so sweet
He treated me like royalty
We'd sneak off just to meet

I know that love doesn't compare
To the love I know today
I've loved and lost through the years
And grown along the way.

But the love I felt way back then
Is no less real than now
Who could question a love that is
As deep as the heart allows

With each and every love you have
Your ability to love will grow
No one ever loves the same
But love they truly know

As I lie here sleeping I felt an angel’s kiss
One that sent my soul to a beautiful
Serene place
No worries no cares just peace I found there

I asked if I might stay just a little while longer
But knew that there would be a price to pay
For I would have to leave my loved ones behind
In order to stay

So I slept a while longer just to soothe
My aching soul then my angel
Came to kiss me goodbye
And said come back as often as you like
Whenever you need to rest your weary head

As I awaken to start anew I feel
The warmth and peace my angel left for me
In my soul and it was oh so bittersweet
Just like my angel?s kiss
I can't believe I'm starting over,
I'm with somebody new.
I think it feels so strange
because maybe I still like you.
I hate you on the surface
But still love you deep inside.
I think I wish I were still with you,
It's just something I hide.
This is all so confusing
Because I don't know what's true.
I look at you now
and you're not even you.
I think what it is
Is that I just miss what we had.
I hate thinking about it
because it just makes me sad.
I thought we'd last forever,
Like an eternal flame.
But what you did in the end
was so incredibly lame.
Now I have moved on
But you're still in my life.
I'm going to try to be happy
and live without strife.
