In other words…
The token promise of tommorow Shades of yesterday’s surprise Morning embers awakening In the stillness our hearts lie In other words… Cherished
Late nights spent of anxious moments Waiting, watching and listening New hope brought forth for us In the moonlight our tears glistening In other words… Promise
Continued stress and commitments Tearing down all we have built In the middle of all our circumstance We find those red faced hues of guilt In other words… Forgiveness
Bondless, Boundless fulfilling true Words of compassion overflowing I share completely vulnerable All pieces of my heart showing In other words… Committed
Hours spent in wonder of you Desire’s draw me nearer still I wake to new found feelings I love you dear I always will In other Words… You complete me

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL...........
Did you write it for your wife? Wow....all I can say is, I loved it. I'm not going to nit it other than a small word here, a small word there; nothing that would change the overall depth of emotion stated there. Actually, I have to say though that if it WAS set to a melody, I could hear it as part of a movie score. (We love movies, and go 2-3 times a week) I always listen to the score. Just keep it in the back of your mind. Okay? I appreciate it when a man has many layers like you surely do.
Beautiful!!!
Love ya,
Jan

Yes, lots of strings; a little harp and many violins( oh, and cello in the darker parts), kettle drum to bring out the high emotion. LOL. Loved this peice though. I'm printing it to put up here in my office. I'll show it to my husband and ask him, "Hey, why didn't YOU say that?"
Have a good day,
Jan

Have mercy Janice
You'll give your poor husband a complex lol. Truthfully Susan hasn't even seen this one yet.
Yes strings for sure kettle drums? not sure what thet sounds like. As far as the cello goes Susan has one so I won't have to synthesize that part.
I am glad you feel it's worth printing out though means a lot to me. Do you really think it's worth setting to music? Maybe I'll play with some ideas an see what I can come up with. Wish I knew someone who could arrange orchestral music. Blessings and good day Derek

Yes boy.....Go for it...Go for it all. Don't wait until your 60 to grasp the brass ring. Do it now. When you look back and see more yesterdays than tomorrows, you just want to tell everyone to stop waiting. Waiting only gets you one thing; another yesterday. (Don't take my hook, I may use that.LOL...)
Hugs from Mich.

Bravo! Encore! This coins what every woman wants to hear. Well done.

Thanks Kim (not kimmy) wouldn't dream of it lol
I am glad you liked this one. I am glad it is a message Women can relate to. I only wish I hadn't posted it after my wife was nervous about how personal it was yikes. Though she seems ok with it now.
I used to live in a little town on the boarder of colorado and Kansas called Goodland. Nice little country town but I am sure glad to be back on the west coast. Although I do have to admit I did love colorado Springs very nice area.
Thanks again for the kind visit and praise Blessings Derek
