  I've often walked a lonely road When life seemed hard to bear; Yet my faith has never wavered For God held me in His care. Through trials and tribulations When the future was unknown, I remembered the promise He made He would never leave us alone. And through each pain and sorrow My heart sang a grateful song; For all the problems I faced Were the things that made me strong. Now that the road is smoother Everything's going my way, I'll still have a song in my heart As I celebrate each new day. Copyright Marian Jones 2007  In My Garden In my garden filled with flowers, I sit in quiet prayer, And as I look around me I see God everywhere. He's in the fragrant roses In glorious array, Their perfume lingers in the air And takes my breath away. A gentle breeze is blowing Sunshine warms my face. How near to God I feel, In this enchanting place. My garden is a haven It's free from worldly care My worries slowly drift away As solace I find there. Copyright Marian Jones 2007 In my mind there is a road I walk each day with you; It's filled with many memories Of times when love was new. I sit in quiet reflection Reliving times gone by, Precious moments shared Before you said goodbye. Was it nothing but a dream, Just a thistledown affair? I can't believe you left me With a pain that's hard to bear. I must accept it's over now, Yet I take this walk each day. Holding on to memories, Of love that passed my way. Copyright Marian Jones 2007 If I could turn the clock back To a day out of the past, I'd choose the day I met you, When a magic spell was cast. On a cold and frosty night, The gods fulfilled their plan, Ordained so very long ago, Before the world began. One by one the twinkling stars Peeped from a distant place, My soul was filled with ecstasy As I recognised your face. You slowly walked towards me; Angels watched from Heaven's door: You came into my life that day And stayed for evermore. Copyright Marian Jones 2004 The sky is clear, the moon shines bright, There's frost on the window panes tonight. Winter has waved its magic wand And skaters are gliding across frozen ponds. Their faces aglow in the soft lantern light, As they yield to the magic of the winter night. Round and round they skate with grace, The thrill of the waltz reflects in each face. They join with partners both moving as one Laughing and gliding, enjoying the fun. Copyright Marian Jones 2004 The heart remembers everything Through all the passing years; Memories of love's delight And those of needless fears. The faces of old friends, Times we spent together; Though no longer with us, Live in our hearts forever. The sorrows and the joys We encountered on life's way, Can never be forgotten, For in our hearts they stay. Now another year's gone by Farewell to gray December; The summer flowers have faded But still the heart remembers. Copyright Marian Jones 2003 Your love is a lantern That lights my way, Uplifting my spirits When skies are gray. Your love is a wave That lifts me higher, Into a sea Of tender desire. Your love is a flame That can never die, For always and ever Just you and I. Your love is a rose Moistened with dew Touching my soul With the beauty of you. Copyright Marian Jones 9/03 Dusk falls like a curtain At the ending of the day. The sun is slowly sinking, As night is on its way. The wind sighs in the trees As birds take homeward flight, And God seems so much closer, When day has turned to night. There is a sense of stillness As the stars begin to shine, A feeling deep within one, That brings a peace Divine. As we reflect upon God's love Our fears all fade away. We feel Him still beside us When tired eyes close to the day. Copyright Marian Jones 2003 Have your ever listened To the music of the night? The gentle rustling wind, Like angel wings in flight. When all seems quiet and still, The rain begins to fall, It bounces from the rooftops: Splatters on the walls. Far off, in the distance, A ship comes through the lock Headed by the tug boat To guide it safely to the dock. The distant drone of aircraft On some exotic flight; The traffic on the motorway, Still moving through the night. Whenever sleep evades me, But stars are shining bright, I take the time to listen To the music of the night. Copyright Marian Jones 9/03 You are in the words I write Unseen, yet guiding my hand, Although you are gone from me Into that far-off land. In the stillness of the night, Your voice is crystal clear; Words come into my mind As I sense you drawing near. You tell me to write of creation The beauty of sun, sea and sky, You speak to me of joy and peace In your heavenly home on high. Our love will live on forever In every word I write, For our minds became as one When we said our last goodnight. Copyright Marian Jones 2003 I dreamt I dwelt upon a star And saw the earth below; The mountains and the meadows Were bathed in a moonlit glow. I looked down on the human race Many rushing here and there, Living life in the fast lane, With not a moment to spare. Here on my own special star, I felt in control of life; Away from the sins of the world; Away from trouble and strife. Amidst the moon and the stars There was such incredible peace; A place I could stay forever Where all my worries would cease. Here I could fly with the angels Up in the stars evermore; Sadly I woke from the dream Just as I glimpsed Heaven's door.
