Poems by Marcia A. Newton

There's a place called home where everything feels right,
a place that's enchanting and beautiful and its own paradise,
a place of wonder and excitement and its own playland.
This place called home is known as wonderland.

Laughter and love overflow in wonderland,
where hopes and dreams are fulfilled as planned.
Delights and marvels are awaiting in utopia
where blissfulness and surprises are part of euphoria.

Wonderland is a dreamworld of make believe,
a place of beauty and fantasies.
It is a world of myths and magical things
beyond the Earth where Heaven begins.

Wonderland is happiness and infinite inspiration,
a space to live a love story or a wild obsession.
My wonderland exists wherever you are.
My heart is with you no matter how far.

In wonderland we are never apart,
and thoughts and desires keep us young at heart.
My soul craves a time when it's not a fable
to live a charmed life as long as we're able.

Is it just a fool's dream to feel this way
to cross into a world different as night and day?
All I need is a vivid imagination
to take me to wonderland on any occasion.

To the love of my life, I want you to know
I carry you in my heart wherever I go.
My heart has always been and will always be with you
because I waited all of my life to love someone like you.

To the love of my life, I loved you from the start
and I will love you forever with every beat of my heart.
From the moment you came into my life, I've loved you everyday.
You are every dream I've ever had yesterday and today.

To the love of my life, you are the one I want and need.
and you are the best love that has ever happened to me.
I found my Heaven here on Earth when you hold me in your arms.
Every part of my being desires you. You're my wish upon a star.

To the love of my life, you bring out the best in me.
God brought you into my life is something I'll always believe.
I love to gaze into your eyes and see myself in you,
and I love to kiss and hold you close whenever I'm with you.

To the love of my life, you are so loved.
You are my greatest treasure and you're my only one.
I will never get tired of loving you and my love will never fade.
I choose to fall in love with you each and every day.

To the love of my life, you touch and hold my heart.
I start each day thinking of you and you're my very last thought.
You are my life and my love, and I don't want it any other way.
My life is beautiful because of you now and for always.

Heavenly Angels, Messengers of God, you speak to me with numbers of love:
111:  Stay positive and know the desires of heart and soul.
222:  Keep your faith alive and always trust in the Lord.
333:  You are surrounded and loved by God above.
444:  Your angels reach out to you with love.
555:  Changes are coming into your life.
666:  Be a service to others and shine your light.
777:  Your dreams and hopes are coming true.
888:  Follow your heart and believe in you.
999:  Release your burdens and start anew.
         as new beginnings are waiting for you.
My happy heart does know and believe that Angels of God are speaking to me.
Guardian Angel Prayer:  Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God's love commits me here.  Ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide.  Amen.

What is it about Christmas that feels like magic?
Is it love and celebration or memories making it nostalgic?
Is it believing in something we cannot see
such as Santa, Rudolph, Elves, and Frosty?

Somehow the magic of Christmas connects us all,
binding us as family and friends too many to recall.
The giving and sharing of all of our traditions
just to brighten each other's lives being our motivation.

The magic of Christmas can be telling stories and singing songs,
and becoming better people when we right all the wrongs.
To share the good feelings that gives thrill to our hearts
such as acts of kindness and sending holiday cards.

The magic of Christmas can be found in a smile
and the laughing out loud of a small happy child.
The magic of Christmas can be found in the silence
where it lives inside the hearts of many in existence.

The magic of Christmas can be soft and beautiful
by bringing joy to others from a heart that glows.
The magic can be found in forgiveness and togetherness
and found in life's blessings that brings us happiness.

The magic of Christmas can be forever heartwarming,
and goodness and love can be always everlasting.
We can keep the joy of Christmas living within us
knowing Jesus the Lord is the real magic of Christmas.

During this festive season of giving
there are many Christmas wishes you are deserving.
Because your gift of friendship is the best I've received,
your gift is these Christmas miracles to believe.

You are so much sweeter than a candy cane.
You are peace on Earth in so many ways.
You are twinkling lights and the jingle in bells.
You are the merry and bright that make hearts swell.

You are the sleigh bells beautifully ringing.
You are Christmas memories that life is creating.
You are the song carolers are singing.
You are joy to the world who just keeps giving.

You are the heavenly angel on top of the tree.
You are the winter wonderland that's magical to see.
You are the stocking hung with care full of treats.
You are the present underneath the Christmas tree.

You are the star brightly shining Christmas night.
You are the Santa making the holidays bright.
You are the music that lifts holiday spirits.
You are a Christmas miracle and never forget it.

You are holiday hugs and mistletoe kisses.
You are the comfort and joy in my Christmas.
You are the Christmas magic I have come to believe.
You are Christmas love and loved you'll aways be.

Our happy days came and went, but memories always remained
because feelings stay buried deep inside even when times have changed.
There was a time when togetherness and love was all that really mattered
but hopes and dreams of starting over are all but lost or shattered.

I regret I didn't hold you longer.  I regret there wasn't more kisses.
I regret there wasn't more time together.  I regret the hurt this is.
I regret the day we said goodbye, but not what we once had.
One mistake can change everything, every dream and every plan.

I've shed many a tear thinking about what we could have been,
but we can't turn back the hands of time and do things we never did.
The heart knows the truth we waited too long to ever share love again,
or to try to start all over again just to end up in heartbreak and pain.

When I look back I always regret the chances we didn't take,
but we can't undo what has been done or change our past mistakes.
There are many things that I regret, but never our time together,
nor the way you use to hold me tight or the love we made to each other.

If I could write our story again, I would pour out my feelings inside
and remind you how we fell in love and how our love could last a lifetime.
If we could create new memories just tell me where and when,
I'd do it in a heartbeat even if it meant losing you once again.

We both live in the shadows of the past
where we only know hurt and love doesn't last.
We were made to feel that we weren't enough
We were brought to our knees and made to give up.

We both know how easy life falls apart
how easily our wounds broke our hearts.
We remember when we were made to feel small
when criticized for our insecurities and all of our flaws.

Painful pasts poisoned our loving hearts,
but how can we move forward to make a new start?
How can we make peace with all of the pain?
Will pain always haunt us and love be in vain?

Can we ever live in the here and now
and leave yesterday's mistakes in the past somehow?
Can we ever know love means us no harm?
Will we ever feel safe in each other's arms?

Why do our memories hurt us from long ago?
Are we reliving the past by not letting go?
Are we doomed to a life of pain and brokenness?
Can we make peace with the past and the emptiness?

Maybe we can make each other better
by being kind to one another whenever together,
by listening, by supporting and making the other feel whole,
by taking care of each other's heart and soul.

Maybe we can be each other's peace,
be tomorrow's hope where the past is released.
Maybe we can take a deep breath and make it last
when we realize we're free from the shadows of the past.

When a vision of perfect happiness comes into view,
I know every dream leads me to you.
As I lie down to sleep under the stars that shine,
I dream of a time when you are mine.

I desire to know your soft loving touch
and for you to know I love you so much.
You are my love and heart's greatest dream.
You are every wish I make it seems.

I dare to envision a time together
and a chance to share our bodies in pleasure.
You're what my fantasies are always made of
as I'm lost in dreams where we love to make love.

I have a dream and only time will tell.
if all my aspirations are alive and well.
I will fight for my dream and risk everything
if that's what it takes to live out my dream.

I am a dreamer believing dreams can come true
knowing every dream I have leads me to you.
This sensation of excitement can only mean
I'm feeling I'll soon be living the dream.

The pull of my heart is too strong to ignore.
You hold me by the heartstrings like no one before.
Whenever I'm near you my heart skips a beat.
My heart is tied to yours to make it complete.

Heartstrings knot our lives together,
yesterday, today, tomorrow, and forever.
An instant recognition that we're connected together
by heart, by soul, and by love for one another

Our lives are transformed in a natural connection.
We see each other in our own reflection.
Heartstrings have fastened our souls together.
We only see home in the eyes of each other.

Heartstrings ignite the fire in our hearts
knowing its eternal flame will never burn out.
A bond created by the forces of nature,
which only grows stronger and significantly greater.

We blend with each other in perfect harmony
like lyrics and music of a song voices sing
When our souls take flight like the birds of spring,
we'll be joined together by love's heartstrings.
