Vows

Vows

I promise that I’ll cherish you

And wipe your snotty nose

I pledge each morning when I wake

To love you head to toes

I make a pact with you today

To give you when you need

My shoulder for your head to rest

And mop the tears you bleed

I vow that I shall make you smile

And laugh ‘til you can’t breathe

Until the day my time ends here

Your side I shall not leave

I give my word that in the times

When our views don’t agree

That I will give this all my heart

And talk ‘til we find glee

Today we’re here to merge our souls

In front of you I stand

It’s only us we’ll ever need

I give to you my hand

Jigsaws

Jigsaws

You stand right there as I walk past

As our eyes meet in time

This moment sees the world slow down

Our hearts as one they rhyme

I think it was your gentle smile

That drew me into you

It tells me that your soul is good

I can’t ignore this cue

My first words come with nervous tones

I hope this lets you know

That I care much of what comes next

I’d like this time to grow

I find the words to ask if you 

Would like to have a drink

So we can sit and talk and laugh

It’s clear that there’s this link

And then right there we’d feel this joy

Where jigsaw pieces fit

The beauty in each others minds

At last we've both found “it”.

London Marathon

London Marathon

For months and months you worked so hard

Each day you had to train

No matter what the weather did

In sunshine and in rain

And then the date in April comes

It’s time to do your stuff

And hope the work that you put in

Will make it not too tough

A cool wind blows across Blackheath

The sight of all those shoes

The time has come, the klaxon sounds

Desires they must now ooze

The aches, the pains, the evil wall

That voice which screams to stop

It matters not how you got there

If ran, or walked or hopped

The streets are lined, in thousands came

They don’t know who you are

But cheered you on, of you they’re proud

Today you’re all our star

What I want for you

All I want for you

I see you strong just like a lion

I want to nurture that

I’ll always make sure you feel strong

You are your own big cat

I’ve loved you right from our day one

Just lovely as you are

I’ll never ask if you will change

Already you’re my star

Accept you here for who you are

Not for what you could be

‘Cause you as you is all I need

That’s what feels clear to me

To feed your mind to do the things

You have the passion for

Is what I plan to do with you

To see you smile more

And all I’ll ever want for you

As your devoted chappy

Is that you feel you’ve lived your life

Just want you to be happy

Restored

Restored

It is my glory here right now

To have you by my side

I knew at once from when we met

I’d like you as my bride

I like that you are oh so kind

And see us all as one

And of the fact since I met you

My life’s been much more fun

That you bring out the best in me

Shows you are right for me

You’ve made sure I know this is real

And is not just a dream

You only let me worship you

If I agree the rules

That you shall worship me as well

So we’re two loved up fools

For you’ve restored my faith in love

That’s been your gift to me

I hope you know there’s no-one else

With whom I’d rather be

Wanting...

Wanting...

I want to fall in love with you

Your soul would make great smiles

This long road that we'd share as one

I think would go for miles

I want to fall in love with you

The way you'd speak and write

Would spur excitement up in me

And makes my flutters flight

I want to fall in love with you

For you would share with me

A goodness in your heart for all

That’s what I love to see

I want to fall in love with you

You'd give me strength inside

To stand there tall in front of me

To safety you would guide

I want to fall in love with you

Not sure yet who you are

But these I know the traits I want

In my bright shining star

The reason to wed

The reason to wed

When you’re not here I miss you so

There’s something that I miss

If you’re not here I know for sure

I can’t be in full bliss

I like to spend much time with you

But leaving is more tough

That photo of you on my phone

Gets me through times of rough

If you’re away have too much work

And do not have the time

Of course my dear I’ll understand

But things can’t be sublime

And when I learn that I’ll see you

My heart still skips a beat

I know we’ve been as one for years

To see you’s still my treat

So this is why I married you

Not ‘cause with you life’s great

But truly it’s that without you

I’d not have my best mate
