Happy Valentine's Day!

There is a singer/songwriter named David Wilcox who comes from the mountains of North Carolina.  He is a talented musician and his lyrics are PURE POETRY.  Many times, I have listened to his songs and wondered how he could know what I was feeling ... EXACTLY???  I will share some of his other song lyrics/poems at another time, but here are three for you as a part of my Valentine's Day greeting to YOU.  Whether you are falling in love, falling out of love, in love or out of love at this very moment on this one single day is almost inconsequential to the fact that YOU HAVE LOVED and YOU WILL LOVE AGAIN!!!  

 

IN THE BROKEN PLACES 

Stronger than ever now,
In the broken places ... 
Stronger than ever now,
Looking at the X-Ray you cried in fear
To see the bones you walked upon
Were shattered,
A year ago you crashed on this bridge
Right here
But we can run back home today,
you were made that way.

You're stronger than ever now,
In the broken places ... 
Stronger than ever now,
In the broken places ... 
Stronger than ever now,
In the broken places ... 
Stronger than ever now,
In the broken places ... 

I found my own apartment, a broken man,
Cause I did not have the right to stand
Beside you.
Trust grows slowly but here we stand
In the place I know is true,
All my vows to you.

We're stronger than ever now,
In the broken places ... 
Stronger than ever now,
In the broken places ... 
Stronger than ever now,
In the broken places ... 
Stronger than ever now,

Maybe where the heart breaks in two,
That's the only place grace can get through
To find you.

Stronger than ever now,
In the broken places ... 
Stronger than ever now,
In the broken places ... 
Stronger than ever now,
In the broken places ...

 

 

ALL MY LIFE

Do you believe in signs that whisper
Inside your mind
'till you have to follow through,
Leading you home again
To someplace you've never been?
Well I feel that way for you.
For how can it be true,
The first time I see you,
I look into your eyes,
And suddenly I knew you all my life.

Don't we have all that time?
Treasure that's yours and mine?
And a place that we call home?
Don't we have photographs taken
A long time back
Of the seasons we have known?

I know it's strange to say,
When we just met this way,
But I look into your eyes,
And suddenly I knew you all my life.
So I'll take the chance and tell you,
Before the chance is gone,
So at least I won't be wondering
The rest of my life long.

       

 

KINDNESS

I love your sense of humor.
I love to see you smile.
I love your sense of balance.
I love your sense of time.

I love your music in the morning,
Your rhythm in the night,
But it's your kindness
That shines so bright.

Yes I love your beauty.
I love your sexy moves,
But more I love your honesty.
You always tell the truth.

I love your vision of the future,
Your hope that never dies,
But it's your kindness
That clears my skies.

Yes I love your wisdom,
Your knowledge of the past,
Your willingness to listen,
And taste for what will last.

Your compassion for the suffering
And your solid happiness,
But it's your
Kindness that I love best ... 

I love...
I love...
I love...
