“The one who falls and gets back up 

is stronger than the person who never fell.”

I clasped her hand in mine, and heard the slightest whisper
"Kiss me." said she, and so I leaned in and kissed her
Lightning struck behind my eyes, and in this exquisite bliss
Love welled up deep inside me, and nothing was amiss.

My mind reeled, and my eyes opened as if for the first time,
The ecstatic beauty of the cosmos spread before me, sublime
In my lucid perception, awakened by this purest of feelings,
A love so bright that all is good in its wondrous revealing..Love & Hugs~Richard

“Everything in life is temporary. 

So if things are going good, 

enjoy it because it won’t last forever. 

If things are going bad, don’t worry, 

it won’t last forever either.”

I look into your eyes, upon the ocean of your heart
I breathe in deep
I feel my head slip under, the water caress my skin
With that one last look you took me in..Love & Hugs~Richard

Material things will never matter
As long as I have you
You make every day that passes
So much easier to get through

My worries disappear when you're around
No thoughts of pain or doubt
I feel your love when you hold me close..Love & Hugs~Richard

“Be a reflection of what you’d like to receive. 

If you want love, give love. 

If you want truth, be truthful.

If you want respect, give respect. 

What you give out will return to you.”
