My Love
My love will hold your
hand
and never attempt
to bind your spirit
my love will caress
your body
while unfettering
your heart
enhance your aspirations
even when your path
differs from my own
My love will rise
to every occasion
Not solely the pleasant
But the sad, the troubled
and angry times
too
My love is extended
unselfishly
as a gift for its
own sake
it will pass the test
of time, of trials
and tribulation
My love for you transcends
it all
always, without reservation
till time no longer
is.
Anthony LaMarca
Thank you Mom for carrying
me
And suffering the
pain of childbirth
Thank you for my health
& well being
And my sense of self
worth
Thank you too for
all the sacrifices you made
especially, when times
were rough
And Mom, I can't say
Thank you, nearly enough
Thank you for showing
me what true love can be
And thank you for
showering yours on me
Thank you Mom for
always being there
Every precious moment
in my life
reflects your loving
care
Anthony LaMarca
I wish for you the
little things in life
the ones that bring
lasting pleasure
Things that money
cannot but
Facilitating joy far
beyond measure
A sunset at the end
of the day
The joyous sound of
children at play
rain, falling gently
through the trees
a fragrant flower
a summer breeze
all the treasures
without strings
all the priceless
little things
Anthony LaMarca
Love recognizes no
boundaries
it crosses every line
Love is dead and dumb
sometimes
as well as blind
Love can lead us all
the way to ecstasy
or to a tragic fall
shatter a heart to
pieces
knock us to our knees
just to try to find
them all
Love raises us to
heights
exceeding all our
dreams
conquers all adversity
Inspires the ways
and means
Love is akin to insanity
defying explanation
The most confusing
emotion
since the dawn of
creation
But love is something
we all need
something none of
us should miss
no matter where it
leads
be it ultimate destruction
or exquisite
bliss
Anthony LaMarca
Friends are shelter
from the storms of life
Ana a sanctuary too
Friends are steadfast
always
And will abide to
comfort you
Life with all its
mishaps will bring the stormy
day
fraught with heartache
and teardrops
Friends help us find
our way
With you me friend,
my life creator did bless
you've added new strength
to my being
restored some happiness
A friend exceeds the
highest value of anything
on Earth
And there is nothing
under God's heaven
with greater human
worth
Anthony LaMarca
I heard two children
talking today.
And, they surprised
me,
with what they had
to say.
The boy, a serious
look upon his face
said to the girl;
Ain't life a rat race ?
The girl thought awhile...
Then shot the little
fellow an impish
smile.
She said; everyone
seems to be running
here & there.
But, they never appear
to get anywhere.
There's not much sense
in what they do
and say,
lets forget all that
come on, lets play.
They frolicked off
laughing
not a care in the
world
just a cute little
boy and a lovely little girl

May the sun shine enough
to make you glow
May it rain, just
enough to help you grow
May the wind be always
at your back
And may you never
miss
ought that you may
lack
May someone special
hold you dear
And give you shelter
when storm clouds
grow near
May your sleep bring
real rest to you
And may all you wishes
& dreams come true
Know, whatever else
may come to be
when you need a friend
you always have me
Anthony LaMarca
The hand of kindness
extend to a stranger
one whose dreams have
all died
Touched a heart and
created the danger
of tears that have
and haven't been cried
banished for the moment
the cold of being alone
and warmed a spirit
whose only embrace
for too long has been
its own
Thank you for the
gentle hand
a ray of light in
the dark
of Broken Promise
Land
Anthony LaMarca
Life is a journey from
the womb to the tomb
Our right of passage
by grace alone
until at its end,
we are all called home
so many wonders to
see along the way
so much to experience
every moment of every day
why then, are so many
of us deceived by hyperbole
Hardening the heart
Like a cold wind blowing
across the soul
The simple pleasures,
we miss or take for granted
replaced by pretty
paper lies in the end recanted
sunshine is seldom
appreciated without the rain
treasures both, pleasure
and pain
to feel, hear, see,
speak
to truly live
Whether realized or
not, is what we seek
A flower in bloom,
a child's smile
The song of a bird,
true relations without guile
such are the things
that truly last
Not the temporal disputes
that rust & decay so fast
By the time most of
us know
Sadly, it's time for
us to go
Priorities lost in
all of this
Show contemporary
mores are truly amiss
Anthony LaMarca
The meeting of two
hearts
The touching of two
minds
The mutual understanding
Two people can find
The way that we touch
even though we're
apart
The intimacy we've
shared
From the very start
you're always on my
mind
Just behind the door
We began as lovers
And became so much
more
though these are trying
times
And heavy the cross
we bear
you have my undying
love
for always being there
Anthony LaMarca
