Before You

Before You

 

~My Darling you’re always on my mind

without you peace I’d never find~

~Baby you hold me together

with you anything I can weather~

~You’re the reason I awake every day

and I love you in every way~

~Before you life was but an existence

you entered mine and made a difference~

~You took away all the doubt inside of me

and shined the light of hope so I could see~

~You conquered my loneliness and my despair

you gave me strength and true Adair~ 

~The strife that engulfed my every thought

gave me reason for the death I sought~ 

~Now I strive to live for every day to come

no longer these thoughts do I succumb~

~Like a dream you came from nowhere

and showed a fool it was possible to care~

~What you seen in me I do not know

but you lifted me from my lowest of low~

~You stood by me through good and bad

in the worst somehow taking away the sad~

~You’ve given me a baby boy and a girl

and there’s no man happier in this world~

~Thank you my love and reason to live

thank you for all you do and give~

              ~I love you~

My Life Is In Despair

 

~My God in Heaven hear my prayer

my life has fallen to despair~

~My day’s leave me but in distress

help me to end this loneliness~

~Give me someone to have and hold

to be together and grow old~

~No longer can I be alone

my heart’s not made of what is stone~

~Forsaken so long by love I’ve been

and longed for the touch of a woman again~

~Emptiness has devoured my soul

no longer I feel as I am whole~

~My nights are long I cannot sleep

sometimes I find myself in weep~

~I fear my God my life will end

if soon a love you do not send~

~My God my God I ask of thee

my God please end this agony~

Like An Angel

Happiness

My life’s as happy as one’s can be,

living with you is Heavenly!

No love on earth can compare,

without you I couldn’t bare!

My love grows stronger every day,

and’s brighter than the Sunshine’s ray!

Life before you was full of despair,

of love my heart was unaware!

My soul was bound for Satin’s domain,

you’ve given me hope and released my pain!

Because of you I have no sorrows,

I now look forward to all tomorrows!

I thank the Lord for sending you to me,

like an Angel you lighten the path of destiny!

There was no future that I could see,

you’ve opened her door with Heaven’s key!

No more I wander through uncertainty,

no longer from life’s direction I flee!

My heart and soul’s bonded to you forever,

Thank God he’s put us together!

Love;

Duke Sherman
