To Thomas With Love

As a gentle flower opens from the morning dew
My heart is filled with love just waiting here for you.
As a stream of water gently glides down a winding hill
I embrace the moments of your voice and wish them to stay still.
As a butterfly glides through the sky like a gentle spirit
I will lay my head upon your chest your heartbeat I will hear it.
As the night will end and the sun shall rise into another day
You will see the love inside my eyes and melt your heart away.
So take these words with you my love everywhere you go
They will be your understanding of how I love you so.


As gentle as the breeze that blows, upon a summer day
The warmth inside that heart of yours, just takes my breath away.
As gentle as the touch I feel, of your hand brushing mine
The warmth of your lips kissing me; is a feeling that’s divine.
As gentle as I hear your voice etched upon my ear
The warmth of your embrace my love; is a feeling so sincere.
As gentle as a tear drop forms upon my eyes there of
The warmth of your lips catching it; is truly out of love.
As gentle as a song is played upon a harp so sweet
The warmth of love you give to me; makes my life complete.

It was the beginning of 2010 when I started to date after a horrible marriage. I decided to go through the process of online dating and I was so disappointed with the type of men that were should I say "on the market". All they wanted was a one night stand and I was not about to enter in to that world since STD's and HIV are still running ramped.

Enough was enough and I sent out my last emails of a few guys that I was interested in but figured I would not find anyone. They were looking for women or should I say girls between the ages of 18 and 30. So my email to them was "does age make a difference when you are looking for love"?

I waited a few days and finally got a response from my husband. He said no age doesn't make a difference. He sent me his number and I called him. We talked for hours on the phone. I am pretty sure it was six hours that we talked and never went back to the same conversation. I asked him why he put on his profile that he was looking for a woman between the ages of 18 and 30 and he told me because older women of 65 and 70 kept contacting him. Well everyone needs love at any age don't they? We laugh about that now.

Our first day that we started talking was April 15th 2010. We started planning on meeting after we had communicated for a few months. On June 10th 2010 I finally met him. He was in Clewiston Florida on a job and I drove to meet him. I want to say it was love at first sight but I can't really say that. I figured that I would never hear from him again after we met, but he called more then ever then.

On July 10th we got engaged and on November 6th we got married at the Wedding Chapel in Kissimmee Florida. The rest is history.

I would say to those who are looking for love on line to be careful. There are many evil people out there who do not want a relationship but just want sex. There are also scammers from Nigeria who want people to give them money and they will bait you up quickly.

Our wedding prayer was an Indian wedding prayer since we got married in Apache territory.

Now you will feel no rain

For each of you will be shelter to the end

Now you will feel no cold

For each of you will be warmth to each other

Now there is no more loneliness

For each of you will be the companion to the other

Now you are two bodies

But there is only one life before you

Go now to your dwelling place

To enter into the days of your togetherness

And may your days be good and long upon the earth

The Apache Wedding Prayer

Kissimmee is the American Indian name for "Heavens Place"
