  Will there ever be another night As wonderful as this? Two lovers brought together Enjoying loves first kiss. Silent stars in timeless skies Shone down from heaven above; 'Twas as if the world was standing still The night we fell in love. The silver sickle of the moon Gave out an eerie glow; Streams of light were drifting Upon the earth below. There'll be many other nights Bringing lovelier things to see; But the night that we first met Will remain the best for me. Copyright Marian Jones 11/05  Life is a mixture of sunshine and rain; Days of laughter and some of pain. Small hills to climb, mountains to scale; Battles we win and those we fail. But through each new day God is guiding us on Giving us hope when we feel all has gone. He's with us on bright days, or when vision is dim; He's by our side to the end, when we'll go home to Him. Copyright Marian Jones 11/05 The summer is over, the roses have gone; I look back to those days when life was all fun. The songs and the laughter have ended in tears Where have they gone to - those wonderful years? How can it be that we drifted apart? You walked out of my life, breaking my heart. These questions I ask are all so in vain; For the death of love is hard to explain. Yet I can't stop the thoughts filling my mind; How could you end it, in a way so unkind? Memories of the good times keep lingering on With unanswered questions now that you've gone. © Marian Jones 10/05 God is the one who scents the flowers; Sends the gentle April showers. He changes the seasons one by one, Brings winter snow and summer sun. He makes the waters ebb and flow, At night he sets the sky aglow. With His touch He heals our pain, Bringing joy and peace again. He always listens as we pray For Him to guide us through the day. To Him we turn when things go wrong, When we are weak, He makes us strong. The hand of God is everywhere, As He holds us in His loving care. A love so powerful, tender and true, Is the love He has for me and you. Copyright Marian Jones 9/05 September seemed a long way off When springtime blossoms came, But now the leaves are falling And it's Autumn time again. This is the month I love the best When the earth seems dipped in gold, As leaves of russet, bronze and amber Are carpeting field and fold. The hedges are bright with berries; Virginia creepers are turning red: I reflect on the passing season Now it's time to look ahead. In this lovely mellow month When summer's just fading away I'll be thanking God for the blessing Of each beautiful September day Copyright Marian Jones 09/05 As evening shadows fall I feel you drawing near, A gentle breath upon my brow And yet you are not here. The scent of your aftershave Seems to fill the air, Nothing is visible to the eye Yet I sense you everywhere. I feel you stroke my hair; It's strange I feel no fear; Is it just my imagination? I know that you're not here. Can it be that spirits fly free Bathed in heavenly light? Piercing the veil that divides us, As the shadows are falling at night. Deep in my heart I remember, The love that to me was so dear, Though we're no longer together, Tonight I felt sure you were here. Copyright Marian Jones 08/05 In the solitude of the evening When the sun is bidding goodbye, I wait with anticipation For the stars to appear in the sky. A feeling of peace fills my heart As I look back on a perfect day, Counting the many blessings That God has sent my way. The birds the trees and flowers; The moon way up on high; A myriad of twinkling stars Shining down from a velvet sky. I have so much to be thankful for, God's gifts from Heaven above: Yet most of all I thank Him For a life that's been filled with love. Copyright Marian Jones 7/05 Once in a while we need to step back From the hustle and bustle of life, Finding quieter pathways Far away from stress and strife. Just a stroll by a rippling stream Will bring a calmness deep within; Draw close to the beauty of nature And sense a new healing begin. Look up at the hills unchanged by time, The lakes, the sea and the shore; You'll gain strength from God's creation As you face the world once more. © Marian Jones 06/05 Today I will treasure each moment, For tomorrow's a mystery. I'll not take this day for granted, I have faith that God's guiding me. There may be mountains to climb, Or struggles and problems to face, But today I'll put my worries aside; Enjoy the gift of God's grace. I'll start the day at dawning, When all the world seems new; Take a stroll around the garden; As the sky dons its mantle of blue. My jewels are in the garden; The shrubs, the plants, the trees; Here I feel a sense of peace As I'm brushed by a gentle breeze. I'll treasure each moment I share With friends, and family too; Such love and laughter in my life My blessings are more than a few. When the twilight is falling And the day draws to a close I'll offer up a thankful prayer As I drift into sweet repose. Copyright Marian Jones 2/05 (Dedicated to my dear friend Chris) Thank you for your friendship; It means so much to me: You're always understanding And display true loyalty. My life has been so blessed Since you have come my way, Your cheerful personality Brightens each new day. In sunshine and in shadow You've shared my hopes and fears; You've made my life so happy, As we've travelled through the years. Time will never break the bond Of friends who truly care, So each day I thank the Lord For the friendship that we share. Copyright Marian Jones 2/05 The very first hint of Autumn Is seen on the garden shed: The old Virginia Creeper Is turning a beautiful red. Late September's leaves Drift slowly to the ground, Forming a colorful carpet As they fall without a sound. The fading Summer sunshine Turns to autumnal glow, Yet, amongst the rustic tapestry, Roses still make a glorious show. Though soon their petals will fall, With Winter drawing near, Until then they stay to remind us, They'll bloom again next year.
