Two Faces

I see two faces

in my hall;

each one as different

as night and day.

The love I feel for each,

Astounding in its magnitude.

An Angel to bless my life;

A Miracle to make it worth living.

Each day with them—a blessing.

The two I gaze upon,

day by day.

A million memories each one holds,

good and bad;

precious each one.

I hold each face in my watch,

wondering at the gifts God gave me.

The Secret

     I had a dream the other day,

The Lord had come to take you away.

     I asked Him why you had to go,

He answered me, His voice soft and gentle:

My dear, I take him

out of love, you see;

It’s a promise between him and me.

To a place of dreams we go -

up above the clouds where there’s

no pain or sorrow.

     But what will I do without him here?

     I asked, for him so much I do care.

The Lord showed patience once again:

On a little secret I will let you in;

Him your eyes may not see,

but of your heart he will never be free.

Together again one day you will be,

In Heaven above, in joy and love,

for all eternity.
