Too Good To Be True

Too good to be true, you say of me?
In honor, my love, or loyalty?
Please do not choose, just watch and see;
Time will prove my worth in all three.

Too good is not very common today;
Most often we get so much less than we pay.
To be the exception, to have fought and won;
It may take great effort, but it can be done.

Being true, requires more than it seems;
It's becoming the answer to somebody's dreams.
Then believing, supporting, and seeing their best
In spite of mistakes or when put to the test.

I see not myself in these words you said,
Only follow a path that the Truth has led,
But I smiled when hearing, "Too good to be true,"
For I found myself thinking the same of you.

Ximena's Moments
(Pronounced E·main·a)


If peace itself could whisper
In sweet musical array,
Or choose to sing its comfort
To the hopeless or dismayed...

Then surely it would ask you
To make these praises heard,
For within Ximena's moments
It sings without a word.

Your music takes me to a place
Beside a lazy river,
With ducks adorned in snowy down
Playing on her waters.

Sunset's amber diamonds
On swirling currents prance;
Responding to a gentle breeze,
The fragrant flowers dance.

Cool grasses are my pillow
As I watch clouds floating by.
For all that weighs upon my mind,
There's no more asking, "Why?"

While hearing birds sing softly
Their last sonnets of the day,
So lost am I in imagery
My cares are whisked away.

Basking in such comfort,
Wind playing with my hair,
I pause to whisper, "thank you,"
For your music takes me there.

The Absence Of Goodbye
(lyrics)

The days pass by so slowly, each night is much too long,
When I miss your smile, your touch, your warmth, your song.
You lift me so much higher to that place reserved for dreams;
Tell me that what I'm feeling is everything it seems.

Are you the end of this darkness?
Will my heart revive at the shining of your light?
Will you be the one I'll embrace forever?
Will your love become the key to the absence of goodbye?

The nights are not as lonely when I expect your call;
Then you remind me, I'm not alone at all.
Your sweet gentle voice warms my heart
And I can't help but wonder, right from the start...

Are you the end of this darkness?
Will my heart revive at the shining of your light?
Will you be the one I'll embrace forever?
Will your love become the key to the absence of goodbye?

The answer we will never know
Till we trust enough to take this chance.

Are you the end of this darkness?
Will my heart revive at the shining of your light?
Will you be the one I'll embrace forever?
Will your love become the key to the absence of goodbye?

Will your love become the key to the absence of goodbye?

A Chance To Say I Will

If you need to know you warm me,
Turn gray skies into blue,
That you touch me as no other...
May I tell you now - you do.

If you need to know I love you
Unlike any other man,
That I'll bring out your very best...
Let me tell you now - I can.

If you must hear I asked for you
When I wished upon a star,
That you're my every dream come true...
May I tell you now - you are.

If you want me there beside you,
Sharing future days fulfilled,
There's just one thing I need, my love...
A chance to say - I will.

Darkness Into Day

You restored a shattered dream;
My pain has faded gray.
With your kind and gentle hand
Changed darkness into day.

There is no hesitation,
I see an open door,
This love I feel between us
Is much stronger than before.

I feel the warmth of passion,
Though I can control the blaze;
Desire joined with reason
Is hope without a haze.

I've trusted way too many;
Abandoned all too few.
Could it be you are the answer
And all my dreams come true?

A Thing Of Beauty

It is such a thing of beauty
That whispers soft my name,
Wrapping itself about me,
Igniting my passion's flame.

I feel it in the darkness,
Even when I'm all alone;
It fills me with a comfort
Unlike I have ever known.

It sings of bright tomorrows,
Shines as a brilliant light,
Offers me completeness
I've longed for all my life.

It is all I ever wished for,
A gift from God above -
One I shall prize forever:
You and your precious love.

I Promise

Last night, the sweetness of your voice
Was laced with doubt, or fear;
I, then, felt like a burden
To the one I hold most dear.

My sun, at once, was darkened,
My moon turned shades of gray;
I'd rather die a thousand deaths
Than make you feel that way.

May I assure you, precious love,
As you saw yourself inside
Embraced within my caring heart -
There, only peace resides.

You asked, to hear me say again,
On the day that I arrive,
How sure I am of my love for you
And how it will never die.

I say to you, as I live and breathe,
If you choose me as your wife...
I promise I will love you
Each day I'm blessed with life.

Your Greatest Gift

Again, last night, I lay awake,
No sleep to stay my thoughts,
So I began to reflect upon
The wonderful "gifts" you've brought.

At first, months ago, it was Hope you gave,
When you offered the key to your heart.
In spite of unanswered questions,
I believed in you from the start.

Trust is what you gave me next;
I sensed truth in each accolade.
Not once have you ever broken
The promises that you made.

Another gift, most valued,
Is the gentle touch of Peace;
I felt it since you've graced my life
And pray it will not cease.

My wedding day saw twelve roses,
In shades of crimson flame...
But your greatest gift was on the card:
The Love above your name.
