Two Hours Away


This house is nothing more
Than a glorified hotel room
Without you here by my side

Though all my things are here
The biggest of my desires
Is two hours away asleep in his bed

My only source of comfort
Is lost in peaceful slumber
Beneath the same sky I’m under

He’s too far away to touch
Too far way to reach
I can’t hear his breathing beside me

But, God, I feel him in my soul
I feel him in my heart
And he still keeps me warm

Even two hours away

Deep Thought For The Day


hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia:  the fear of long words


How ironic is it that the fear of long words has such a long name?  Is this so that hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobiacs can’t diagnose themselves?

In The Morning


Laying awake early yesterday morning
I could easily see the peace that
Had taken over your beautiful face
And the calmness that sleep had induced

I lay my hand on your chest
And shivered as I felt the blood pumping
Beneath my fingers through that heart
That I have begun to love so deeply

You didn’t stir or move away
But I did see you begin to smile
I pulled back afraid I had waken
This angel that lay here beside me

Your eyes slowly opened, looking into mine
And I saw your smile widen
You lips formed the words ‘I love you’
And my heart melted all over again

I have a friend who needs a little reassurance and support.  I emailed them the link to this page, but I thought we all might benefit from these words.

Just Wait
Lyrics: John Popper

If ever you are feeling like you’re tired
And all your uphill struggles leave you headed downhill
If you realize your wildest dreams can hurt you
And your appetite for pain has drinken its fill

I ask of you a very simple question
Did you think for one minute that you are alone
And is your suffering a privilege you share only
Or did you think that everybody else feels completely at home

Just wait, Just wait
Just wait, And it will come

If you think I’ve given up on you you’re crazy
And if you think I don’t love you well then you’re just wrong
In time you just might take to feeling better
Time is the beauty of the road being long

I know that now you feel no consolation
But maybe if I told you and informed you out loud
I say this without fear of hesitation
I can honestly tell you that you make me proud

Just wait, Just wait
Just wait, And it will come

If anything I might have just said has helped you
If anything I might have just said helped you just carry on
Your rise uphill may no longer seem a struggle
And your appetite for pain may all but be gone

I hope for you and cannot stop at hoping
Until that smile has once again returned to your face
There’s no such thing as a failure who keeps trying
Coasting to the bottom is the only disgrace

Just wait, Just wait
Just wait, And it will come
