Happy 39th Wedding Anniversary, Mom & Dad...xoxoxoxo (infinity & beyond)

My mother & father may not BE (together) right now but they WERE (together) for 38 1/2 + years. My dad left with the Lord on March 19th, 2011. My parents were a great example of LOVE, commitment and marriage to many people. No relationship is perfect, no one is perfect. My parents went through struggles like any other relationship. However, they remained committed to one another, through good and bad, through wealth and poverty, and in SICKNESS and in HEALTH. In the process, they made one another happy and supported one another. They were glad to be with each other, made each other laugh and communicated with with minimal of words; they were truly one.


THAT is love.

Mom & Dad: Today, on what would have been your 39th wedding anniversary, I thank you both for all you have done for me. I thank you both for all you have done for my siblings and for many others. I celebrate this day despite dad's absence on this earth because he is still very much present in my heart and will always be. I love you, Mom & Dad, for being a great example to all; an example of what love truly is. I mean that with all that I am. Mom, you are all that I have left. You are my best friend, my side-kick and my biggest cheerleader. Words cannot express what you mean to me.

Dad: You may not be here physically, but I feel you every single day.
Your gentle, soft-spoken ways have left a loud and a thunderous impact on my life. I love you tremendously.
Love,
Belinda

Happy Anniversary, Mom & Dad:

(Proverbs 30:18-19)

“There are three things that are too amazing for me,

four that I do not understand:

the way of an eagle in the sky,

the way of a snake on a rock,

the way of a ship on the high seas,

and the way of a man with a young woman.



(Proverbios 30:18-19)

Tres cosas me son ocultas,

y una cuarta tampoco conozco:

el rastro del águila en el aire,

el rastro de la culebra sobre la peña,

el rastro de la nave en medio del mar

y el rastro del hombre en la muchacha



(Song of Solomon 6:3)

I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine:



(Cantares 6:3)

¡Yo soy de mi amado, y mi amado es mío!

Open Wound

Out of sight out of mind; within reach, in my mind.

Why does life go full circle ? Now I fear what I find.


It was not a dream but a beautiful reality.


My heart now sees it as a cruel brutality.


Is it enough to have distant memories,


when I want near fantasies ?


They say the heart knows what the mind cannot understand.


What I would give to feel you close enough to hold your hand.


Do I dread ever knowing you or should I cherish what we had ?


Simply pondering over that question makes me sad.


I will settle for the sweetness that your heart brought to me.


You will forever be a part of my soul, don't ever set me free.

HUMBLE LOVE

My heart sunk to my feet,

a feeling I often dread;

Unanswered questions, uneasy feelings

and much confusion in my head.

What did I do wrong this time

to make you so furious ?

Am I annoying ? Are you hiding something ?

That is what I'm curious.



Lately much concern and worry lay heavy in my heart

For the sake of not being reprimanded by you,

in private I fall apart.

Living in the dark makes me desperately

seek the precious light

I'm not even angry, just simply hurt;

I don't think I'll sleep tonight.

At times I wonder if ever you have

any good things to say about me.

To avoid stressing you I wait patiently

and simply let you be.

Your words and actions at times resemble

a perfect fairy tale.

Not sure if it's an act to prove to me

that you can never fail.

Honesty and communication ,

that is all I ask.

Not a show or an unnecessary act;

please remove that mask.

Given the chance, I speak beautifully about you

even when I'm mad.

My heart tells me that is not the case with me

Can't lie, it makes me sad.

I can still hear you yelling and cursing.

Why do you speak to me that way ?

Don't worry in respects to you, when I speak to others,

only good things will I say.



My creator knows my heart.

He knows all that troubles me.

Wish you could visualize what I'm feeling

just so you can see.

I finish this off by simply saying

that I will love you forever.

I put this all in God's precious hands

and hope that things get better.
