My Love, My Life

Like reflections of your mind, my love, my life, Are the words I try to find, my love, my life, But I know I don’t possess you, With all my heart, God bless you, You are still my love and my life. – ABBA, Benny Andersson

Take My Whole Life Too

Like a river flows, Surely to the sea, Darling, so it goes, Some things are meant to be. Take my hand. Take my whole life too. For I can’t help falling in love with you. – Can’t Help Falling in Love, Elvis Presley

Then Sings My Soul

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander, And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees. When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur, And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze. Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee. – How Great Thou Art, Carl Boberg

You Talk and I’ll Listen

It won’t be the same, I say, not being able to hear you talk. “Ah, talk . . . ” He closes his eyes and smiles. “Tell you what. After I’m dead, you talk. And I’ll listen.” – Tuesdays with Morrie, Mitch Albom

Out to the Windy Beach

Take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind, Down the foggy ruins of time, Far past the frozen leaves, The haunted frightened trees, Out to the windy beach, Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow. – Mr. Tambourine Man, Bob Dylan

Forethought of Grief

And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. – The Peace of Wild Things, Wendell Berry

It Is Well

Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say It is well, it is well with my soul. – Horatio Spafford

Good Morning

Here, on the pulse of this new day You may have the grace to look up and out And into your sister’s eyes, and into Your brother’s face…And say simply Very simply With hope — Good morning. – Maya Angelou

A Beam in Darkness

We have but faith: we cannot know; For knowledge is of things we see; And yet we trust it comes from thee, A beam in darkness: let it grow. – In Memoriam, Alfred, Lord Tennyson

For the Joy

For the joy of human love, brother, sister, parent, child, friends on earth, and friends above, for all gentle thoughts and mild. – For the Beauty of the Earth, Folliott S. Pierpoint
