For my Cherry on our Anniversary
Till There was You
There were bells on a hill
But I never heard them ringing
No I never heard them at all
Till there was you
There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No I never saw them at all
Till there was you
Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and dew
There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you
Then there was music and wonderful roses
They send me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and dew
There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you
Till there was you
I never think of the future - it comes soon enough. - Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

A Mirror Of Your Beauty
I am just a simple man, that heaven blessed with you
Entrusted to do what I can, for a love confessed and true
I’m a mirror of your beauty
A reflection of your grace
These things in thee, are what you’ll see
When you gaze upon my face
I am just a humble man, that angels came to see
I asked them for a miracle, and they chose you for me
I’m a mirror of your honour
A reflection of your soul
These things in thee, are what you'll see
For they are what make me whole
I am just a lucky man, with the future still untold
On a journey now together, our forever will unfold
I’m a mirror of your aura
A reflection of your charms
These things in thee, are what you’ll see
When I hold you in my arms
I am just a happy man, with an answer to my prayers
There’s never any question, in my life who really cares
I’m a mirror of your laughter
A reflection of your style
These things in thee, are what you’ll see
Every time you see me smile
I am just a thankful man, each and every day
Every time I see you, everything you say
I’m a mirror of your beauty
A reflection of your love
These things in thee, are what I see
And I thank the Lord above
I never think of the future - it comes soon enough. - Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

FROM MY MAILBOX: DON'T WE ALL
DON'T WE ALL
I was parked in front of the mall wiping off my car. I had just come
from the car wash and was waiting for my wife to get out of work.
Coming my way from across the parking lot was what society would
consider a bum.
From the looks of him, he had no car, no home, no clean clothes, and no
money. There are times when you feel generous but there are other times
that you just don't want to be bothered. This was one of those "don't
want to be bothered times."
"I hope he doesn't ask me for any money," I thought.
He didn't.
He came and sat on the curb in front of the bus stop but he didn't look
like he could have enough money to even ride the bus.
After a few minutes he spoke.
"That's a very pretty car," he said.
He was ragged but he had an air of dignity around him. His scraggly
blond beard keep more than his face warm.
I said, "thanks," and continued wiping off my car.
He sat there quietly as I worked. The expected plea for money never
came.
As the silence between us widened something inside said, "ask him if
he needs any help." I was sure that he would say "yes" but I held true
to the inner voice.
"Do you need any help?" I asked.
He answered in three simple but profound words that I shall never forget.
We often look for wisdom in great men and women. We expect it from
those of higher learning and accomplishments.
I expected nothing but an
outstretched grimy hand. He spoke the three words that shook me.
"Don't we all?" he said.
I was feeling high and mighty, successful and important, above a bum
in the street, until those three words hit me like a twelve gauge
shotgun.
Don't we all?
I needed help. Maybe not for bus fare or a place to sleep, but I
needed help. I reached in my wallet and gave him not only enough for bus
fare, but enough to get a warm meal and shelter for the day. Those
three little words still ring true. No matter how much you have, no matter
how much you have accomplished, you need help too. No matter how little you
have, no matter how loaded you are with problems, even without money or
a place to sleep, you can give help.
Even if it's just a compliment, you can give that.
You never know when you may see someone that appears to have it all.
They are waiting on you to give them what they don't have. A different
perspective on life, a glimpse at something beautiful, a respite from
daily chaos, that only you through a torn world can see.
Maybe the man was just a homeless stranger wandering the streets. Maybe
he was more than that.
Maybe he was sent by a power that is great and
wise, to minister to a soul too comfortable in themselves.
Maybe God looked down, called an Angel, dressed him like a bum, then said, "go minister to that man cleaning the car, that man needs help."
Don't we all?

Colour Everywhere testimonial
Never really in between
Waiting on the love of my life
To come into my dreams
Everything is shades of gray
Never really blues or green
Needed someone else to turn to
Someone who could help me learn to see
all the beauty that was waiting for me
You, you put the blue back in the sky
You put the rainbow in my eyes
A silver lining in my prayers
And now there's colour everywhere
You put the red back in the rules
Just when I needed it the most
You came along to show you care
And now there's colour everywhere
Everywhere
My life is so predictable
Never any mystery
But ever since you shined the light
All of that was history
Now I have a hand to hold
And a reason to believe
There's someone in my life worth living for
I was hanging around just wishing on a star
To put the happiness back in my heart and...
You, you put the blue back in the sky
You put the rainbow in my eyes
A silver lining in my prayers
You care and now there's colour everywhere...
I LOVE YOU BABY!
