Chester's First Poem

What a Marvelous, Magical way,
To begin this brand new day;
Just weeks ago it seems,
Hopes for joy were dreams!

But now, with very great delight,
The darkness has been filled with Light!
By His Grace an Angel has arrived,
My Torn Heart now so Revived!

Wonders and dreams now I can see,
Smiles and happiness now follow me,
A new happiness in my life begun,
By the beautiful lady named Alison!!

Alison's First Poem

Fantastic, Magical, Wonderful gift,
An Awesome , Tremendous, Welcome lift,
My sadness gone right out that door,
Entering happiness just more and more !

My heart is absolutely full of glee
A special someone sent to me,
He could only be Heaven sent...
this perfect, loving, handsome gent !

To my Lord I often pray,
that he wasn't so faaaaaaaaaar away !
But every night I go to sleep,
In my heart his words I'll keep,
And in my dreams I'l see his face,
and give him one quite HUGE embrace !.

Now its the end of this little rhyme,
But I hope Gods will is right on time
As I think my feelings will never fade,
For this great guy called Chester Wade !

From Ocean to Ocean

by Marguerite Schrader


They are two people drawn together by an unseen power. A bond from a distance, only they know the reason.
Love has an intensity as still as a calm night or as savage as a raging storm.
That is the need.
Together they are one, alone no more.
A light comes into their hearts to make them alive.
Aware of life and living again in a complacent world. Strangers for a time, until their souls reach out and touch one another.
The knowledge of a lifetime is passed between them.
Sharing the joys, the tribulations, the expectations is a new experience.
Strangers no more, caring begins.
With familiarity comes laughter to brighten the spirit and lighten the heart.
An understanding, that words cannot express, spreads across the miles and friendship commences.
They wonder at this new found level of love.
They revel at the very thought of hands caressing and lips touching from ocean to ocean.
The beauty of love is seen as an oasis in the desert of loneliness.
They know where to look and what to say.
They understand the workings of the mind to protect from pain.
It is all so new and yet so easy.
Heaven on earth can be love.
It can be friendship.
It can be understanding and compassion.
Most of all it is giving.
They gave of each other for each other's happiness.
And together they found everything.
