Ralph & Laura, Lighting The Way

Welcome, let love guide you through the darkness.

Special Tokens

The flowers you brought me as a gift from your
heart brought happy tears to my eyes.
The words in the card you gave spoke the
words you wanted to say, I heard them speak
directly to me.
The hug you delivered was the best part of
those special tokens.
The security I feel in your arms is the most
special gift of all.
Your love wraps me in a protective world and
keeps away all harm.
The words you speak as I listen, remind me of
why I first loved you.
Such clarity, such sureness, such strength are
present in every syllable.
The beauty of your mind and spirit are my
inspiration, my reason, my anchor and my life.
As sure as the stars reside in the heavens and
the sun arrives to greet the day, you are my
rock.
Ever so firmly you stand true to your
convictions.
So my beloved, as I press one perfect rose as
a memento from your heart to mine,
I smile knowing that even though this lovely
token may wither and the blood red color may
fade, the love we share will continue to grow.

Loving Gestures

The tender way you rub my neck with gentle
caresses.
The way you gaze at me with love in your eyes.
Bringing me coffee and kisses in bed each
morning.
A meal prepared by loving hands at the end of
a long day.
Warm snuggles when we're both drifting into
dreamland.
Stopping during the day just for a hug and to
say, "I love you."
The way you always take my hand when we walk
together.
The way your brow knits with concern when I'm
ill.
Always, without exception wanting the best for
me.
The many, many loving gestures that make up
the person you are, the person I adore, the
man I love.

You Are My Light

Once the darkness closed in
And I couldn't breathe
Nor could I find the way
I reached for the essence of you
But you're weren't there
Where were you all those many years
I searched for a way?
Somehow I felt you out there
Searching, seeking the same as I
You are my light and my guide
Before there was us, we were
committed to wandering the darkness
To exist in everlasting night
Then, from far away
We saw a light
It banished the gloom
And in its trail were left
Shining stars and promises of morning
The light came and surrounded us
We wept the tears of love found
It is you, you are my light
You have come to lead me
From the black abyss into the golden glow
You smile and take my hand
As I take your heart
And we are happy
For the darkness has disappeared
And all is as it should be
All is joyful, all is bright
All is you and I together

Days Of August
8/1998 - 8/2000

My beloved Ralph,
It's been two years since that day I got off the plane in Los Angeles and saw you walking toward me with a smile that lit up my world. My heart soared when I laid eyes on you and beheld for the first time the person who had become my life. Our first embrace still lingers in my heart much as our first kiss still lingers on my lips. Finally, after so much longing and so much expectation, we were together. Never had I felt such emotion as I did on that August morning. Even at that first meeting I was already feeling the pain of being apart, for I knew even then, that our fate was sealed and that you and I would spend our lives together.
You filled all the emptiness within me with warmth and love. You completed me, you restored life to my once empty being.
Our lives have become intertwined now, it's often hard to discern where one of us ends and the other begins. Oneness in mind and spirit has become our way of life. You support me in every way, you confirm and affirm the person I am with every word you speak. Never could I have imagined how full my life would become. Never could I have known that two people could be so perfectly matched, so perfect together.
Now, as August rolls around again, I pause to remember that first August morning and cherish the precious memories.
Ralph, my beloved husband, my love, my life, my all...you have given me so much that it's hard to find the words to tell you all that you mean to me. Your love wraps me in a world filled with the joy of living. Your strength melts my fears and vanquishes all harm. Your tenderness fills me with delight at your touch. The sight, sound, scent, taste and touch of you thrills me beyond imagination. Your tenderness and caring brings tears of joy to my eyes and peace to my heart. The security you've given me with your unconditional love has enabled me to finally be the person I am. This day of August is but one day in a life filled with loving you.
Ralph, for being the man that you are, I thank you.
I love you so very much,
Laura
