Getting to know you

These are the lyrics to one of my favorite Rodgers & Hammerstein songs...they kinda speak how I feel at this moment and all that is on my heart and mind...

Getting to know you,
Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you,
Getting to hope you like me.
Getting to know you,
putting it my way,
But nicely,
You are precisely,
My cup of tea.

Getting to know you,
Getting to feel free and easy.
When I am with you,
Getting to know what to say
Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day.

Crossing the Line

In all relationships whether they be with family, friends, significant others, companions, people from work, church, acquaintances, whatever there are lines drawn. Sometimes these lines are out there and everyone knows them. Sometimes they are stated and other times they are just understood. Some of lines have been drawn in a very overt manner like the line a boy draws in the sand on the playground daring his companion to cross it. Just as the lines are not always visible to us the point at which we cross them is also not always visible. A few days ago I feel like I crossed a line with someone and it was very unintentional. And now I feel just horrible about it. I always seem to mess things up and I am afraid yet once again I have done just that. So if I have crossed that line please let me know and please forgive me. I may just be a silly girl reacting to nothing but I really feel like I have messed up somehow. I feel like there is a connection and would like to explore it and see where it goes. I would like to get to know you better and would like for you to get to know me. Since I met you I have felt God moving in my life in ways I have never felt before and it's like all my prayers have been answered. I pray for you and I pray for your future.

Your Eve

I'll be the Eve to your Adam
The one by your side
The one to support you
For the rest of your life

I'll be the one in your corner
Cheering your victories
The one there to hold you
When it's comfort you need

We both have had sadness
and failure in the past
but together we can move on
with a love that can last

God brought us together
Made our paths to cross
He is making something special
Where once there was loss

From this moment forward
Until the end of time
I'll be the true love of your life
And honey you'll be mine!!!

Praying for you

Your heart is torn apart
From this pain you're going through
I wish that I could be there
And ease the pain for you
I long to be there by your side
To help ease the pain away
To hold your hand and dry your tears
To help you make it thru the day
But I am stuck so far away
I don't even know if you know I care
The only thing that I can do
Is support you with my prayers
Do you how I truly feel?
Do you know that I would like to explore
The possibility that our friendship
Could become so much more
I wait on God and and long for hope
and like Gideon lay out a fleece
With prayers God will talke away your pain
And bring answers with sweet peace.

Precious Child -Ode to My Granny, Ollie Dona Ray Sizemore

O, precious child of mine
the one I held so dear
I've kept you in my arms
with love I've calmed your fears

I watched you as a child
As a mother and a wife
I never left your side
through the dark times in your life

Now you face the time
When life on earth will end
You will come here to the gates
I'll say "My Child Welcome In!"

Don't worry about the ones
Left on earth to live
The strength you possessed
In them will never end

The separation from those you love
will be but for a while
Then if like you they accepted my Grace
We'll welcome them home as our precious child

I wrote this on the Wednesday before my Granny Sizemore passed on friday in Feb 2008.

Waiting on You

I wake up each morning
A list of things to do
But it's all just to fill a day
A day spent waiting for you

Waiting for the distant day
The day you walk into my life
Waiting for our life to begin
With you as my husband, me as your wife

I look at you and desperately want
to know you through and through
to know the very reasons why
You say what you say and do what you do

So for now I know to be content
To love you from afar
I know not to be frustrated
By just seeing you, just being where you are

I've taken the love I have for you
And placed in in God's hands
I need to wait on His timing
Waiting as patiently as I can

So, now I can only in prayer and love
Sit and wait for you
Wait for the time you will declare
That you've waited for me, too.

Trenton

The sun rises and then it sets
As another day passes by
while we carry on with living
Somethings missing from our lives
the laughter of a wee, small child
As he discovers something new
The joy expressed upon his face
The joy that, Trenton, is you
We only have to cling to hope
And lift our prayers in faith
that you are safe and sound this night
and will be back home one day
Never fear sweet little boy
You are always in God's care
And while you are not here at home
He is watching over you there
So, dear Lord, we pray to You
Please bring this precious child home
Guide the law enforcement officers
As they seek to bring Trenton back to us.
