You are my best friend,
My very best friend,
You make me happy,
Everyday,
I appreciate you in everyway.

My Best Friend
Today I found a friend,
Who knew everything I felt.
She knew my every weakness,
And the problems I've been dealt.
She understood my wonders,
And listened to my dreams.
She listened to how I felt about life and love,
And knew what it all means.
Not once did she interrupt me,
Or tell me I was wrong.
She understood what I was going through,
And promised she'd stay long
I reached out to this friend
To show her that I care
To pull her close and let her know
How much I need her there

love poems and quotes

For Her By Anthony Descas
As I walked into your life and hopefully your heart…
I realized our relationship will never drift apart…
As I ran my fingers through your hair…
I’m dazzled…happy…not in despair…
Your heart is like a flame, burning with desire,
I light these candles and realize my love for you uplifts higher…
One day you will own a throne…
Any will do…you’re my princesses, my baby…I love you.


The simple lack of her is more to me than others' presence. *Edward Thomas


Who would give a law to lovers? Love is unto itself a higher law.

Are There Angels? by Alan Burleson (for Deborah)
It is said there are Angels
In Heaven above
And they shine with the light
Of an inner love
Of these things
I had not a clue
But that was
Before I found you

For in you I’ve found
A love that is so right
It shines all around
With the brightest of light
It comes from somewhere
So deep within
That it has no beginning
And knows no end

Your love is a light
That brightens each day
Of all of the people
You see on your way
Where ever you go
Or whatever you do


All see the love
That you have inside you
That God sent you here
To a place where you’d be
Sharing such love
With someone like me
Is proof for me
That angels exist
And are filled with a love
That no man could resist
I thank God each day
For finding the time
For looking down on me
And making you mine
So yes there are Angels
In heaven above
I know because God
Sent me one to love.
Alan Burleson (for Deborah)
