Wedding Songs for my Sweet Children and their Spouses

To Dillyanna and Jeremy Faulkner on their Wedding Day
August 27, 2011

Love is gentle , Love is kind
Love lifts up the human mind
Love is tender, Love is calm
Love can be a healing balm

Love is patient , Love is pure
Love continues, Love endures
Love forgives and starts again,
Love is how your hearts will mend

If you love with all your heart
That is how you’ll never part
Keep love with you everyday
In all you do and all you say



To Jessica Lynn and Scott Chase on their Wedding Day
June 2, 2007

Today I will marry my best friend
To Love and to cherish to the end
Today we'll join our hands and hearts
Today is when our future starts
We will travel life’s road together
In sunny skies and stormy weather
We’ll share our joys, we’ll share our tears
We’ll share our hopes we’ll share our fears

Today I will marry my best friend
To give and care for to the end
We’ll grow and change as life goes on
But still we’ll love and be as one
One day we’ll have a family
Some look like him and some like me
We’ll look ahead forgive the past
That is how our love will last

Today I will marry my best friend
The one that will love me to the end
Today we’ll share our wedding bands
So come with me and take my hand


To Jacey and Nathan David Faulkner
June 18, 2002

Chorus
What is love, What is love
What is love meant to be
What is love, What is love
It’s love that sets our hearts free


Love is the fire that lifts our souls higher
And brings us to joy in the light
Love is the power of all of God’s flowers
That brings our hearts hope and delight
Love is an ocean that’s deep with emotion
Connecting our hearts and our hands
Love is a mountain that’s there tall and strong
And there, right or wrong still it stands
Chorus
Love is an eagle that flies high and free
Then comes home to rest in a mutual nest
Love is a river that ceaselessly goes
And endlessly flows to the sea
Love is the wind that brings us to change
And rearranges our lives
Love is the answer to all of our prayers
And all of our cares in the night
Chorus


To Emily Ann and Jerimy Jones
September 9, 2000

A new life , A new love
A new hope is in you
A new life, A new love
My dream is coming true
Together forever is coming to view
You found me, I found you
We’ll help each other through
Chorus
We’re caring, we’re sharing
We’re learning how to give
We’re growing , we’re showing
A better way to live
Together we’ll do it
We will begin
You found me, I found you
An everlasting friend
Chorus

To Jameson Parker Hughes and Courtney December 24, 2013

            Love is the Answer

We’ll  travel this journey of life together
We’ll keep walking the road that leads to forever
We’ll face the tests that life throws our way
Give each other a smile at the end of each day
                              Chorus
Love is the answer that will get us through
Love is the answer , whatever we do
Love gives us hope, Love helps our hearts
Love  builds our dreams, Love’s where it starts

Our journey  will have some ups and downs
Our journey will have some laughs and frowns
But we’ll  stand together through thick and through thin
That’s how we’ll make it, That’s how we’ll win
Chorus
Our journey will make us a new family
Our journey will bring us some great memories
We’ll join hands and hearts on our  special day

We’ll do life together, together we’ll say

August Poetry

Leo Love of Mine
Sings songs to my soul
When we make love
Intense
Gentle
Steady
Leo Love of Mine
Takes me higher
And higher still
Plateaus,
Glides like a para sail
Then drifts to a landing
This Leo Love of Mine

For Rob for his birthday August 19 2011


The music of the night
mesmorized,
hypnoticzed.
This summer Eve
You embraced the moment
Grasping, Reaching
Enveloping all that is coming to us
Summer,
Love, taste, sounds,
And you

I love your light
Your laugh
The way you make me feel when I am close to you
I love your touch
Your caress
How your hair falls
How you look at me with your baby blues

By Rob for Andrea on a magic full moon night


I rank barely first to the cars
A close second to the pets
I'm never boring
Always a challenge
Way too complicated
to keep it simple like the dog
I'm a challenge
And he likes a challenge

Andrea
