Someone to Hold



Truth be told
I long for someone to hold when the day is through
God has led me to you
I speak softly your name
Sweet and smooth on my lips
Will you remain?
The wind whispers…yes!
Come drink from the well of my love, my bliss

A gift from the heavens, bright star to call my own
God’s grace and forgiveness leading me home
Riches beyond measure are found in thee
Your soul is the treasure offered to me

The colors of your love
Like a rainbow rich and true
Invite me into your open arms
To forever be with you

With courage to be vulnerable once again
Trusting in you, I place my heart in your hands
Please handle with care
Gently and tenderly leading me where
The promise is captured
Heaven’s reward… oh, sweet rapture!

A love for all time flows like a stream
Over and under, around my being
Embracing my soul, washing away
The heartache and pain
With joy leading the way

You are my someone to hold while dreaming at night
You comfort, cajole, relieve my fright
Cooing like a dove
I’m safe and secure in the arms of love
And when I awake, you whisper at dawn
Gentle as a fawn


 O Gift Divine
Your light a stunning reflection
Beautiful as the moon
Resplendent as the sun
God lets me know you are The One

A thousand years and more
I am you and you are me
Seems we’ve been here before
That it was always meant to be

My sweet bird, my soul
You speak the language of we
I am ready to go, my love
Wherever you lead

In your arms I’ve dreamed an eternity away
Lived a lifetime I’ll never forget
You’ve always been there it seems
With a love that’s here to stay

You captured my heart, offered yours for free
That’s why I’m in this for all time, don’t you see?
You’ve gained my trust, taught me to be bold
Therefore I must be
Your someone to hold
Forever more

  4. Dear Betty,

    It's wonderful to have you stop by!

    On this day of LOVE, I wanted to share something that simply expresses the deep LOVE we all feel for Michael... and the unconditional LOVE he offers to each and every one of us. No explanations or anlysis or attempting to understand it - just to express it as the beautiful thing that it IS. I hope others will relate to it as a personal expression of their own feelings.

    Yes, he certainly is our special LOVE - our Valentine For All Time!

    Much LOVE to you dear friend...
    Charlene

    AMAZING Char.....

    Why is that I feel as you wrote these words after the ones already written in my heart?....We are ONE.

    Your poem is nice and sweet, but above all I find it a sublime expression of the L.O.V.E. that lives in our hearts....Thank you for saying it in such a beautiful way.

    "A love for all time flows like a stream
    Over and under, around my being
    Embracing my soul, washing away
    The heartache and pain
    With joy leading the way"

    That's exactly what i feel !

    Love you always, my dear Char ♥

  21. Char...besides beautiful a moving collage of the Beloved the music inspired me to write some thoughts of love and contentment. Also Gurl you have some skills i admired the way you wove in transitions and clips.As far as BOTDF coincidence i think not ,LOL Ally had an album posted not long ago and this song had been swirling around me for a long time it was just maturing within. There is a raw power in that piece and yu can feel the interweaving of risk if you don't approach it just right. Anyway i'm caught up so happy to visit you here in Michael and in love...keita

    Your poem is so tender and touching. I love it very much and think you are so talented! "God has led me to you" . . . so many of us feel this and there is so much magic afoot when Michael comes into our hearts!!! And the video is perfect, such a pure and lovely statement of love, pure and simple. Thank youuuu♥
