Poems by Shelagh Bullman

One word can start a friendship,
One kiss a love affair,
One smile can bring you laughter,
One hug can show you care,
One wave of your hand can say hello,
One tear can make you cry,
One gentle touch can warm a heart,
One dream can make you fly,
One song can bring back memories,
One thought sees brighter days,
One wish can bring colourful rainbows,
One good deed can bring you praise,
One moon can light your darkness,
One star can guide your soul,
One step will start each journey,
One hope to make your goal,
One hand to hold in friendship,
One heart that's kind and true,
One Love...One friend, is all you need,
It's really up to you.

Thinking of you fills me with a wonderful feeling.
Your tender love, your warm embrace,
Your sweet kisses,
I love your touch,
Your gentle nature and loving heart.
I love the way you smile
And the way your eyes sparkle
When you laugh.
I adore the sound of your voice,
Strong and enduring.
The sweetest sound is your name,
As I say it over and over again.
You have allowed me to open up my heart.
You taught me how to love,
trust, live, and to smile again.
You have brought so much into my life.
I never thought I could feel this way again.
Now I see a perfect life ahead.
New places for my heart to explore.
New thoughts, new memories, new feelings.
Feelings that go far beyond expressions.
I can't stop myself from holding back the tears.
Tears of happiness, of a love so strong.
It surges through my heart like a storm.
Each tear falls warm upon my face,
And I smile,
Such a perfect love we have for each other.
You fill my life with joy and laughter,
With dreams and with the promise
Of a new tomorrow.
I will forever be indebted to you.
You have changed my life.
You have captured my heart.
You now hold the key.
Your love I will live and die for.
I will treasure each and every moment
I spend with you,
And I promise to love you for the rest of my life.
Because my eternal love...you complete me.

What do I see in you? Oh boy. Oh boy,
I see mountains and rivers, a lifetime of joy,
I see the sun shining on the greyest day,
I see clouds of silver lining my way,

What do I see in you? Oceans of blue,
Colourful rainbows, morning dew,
Trees of glory displaying leaves of green.
I see goodness and beauty in all living things.

I hear creatures of darkness prowling the night,
But I'm safe in your arms as you hold me real tight.
I feel the whispers of the wind entwining my soul.
I feel you breathing, that makes me whole.

I hear the rain falling and the sun on my face.
I feel the shadows of darkness as me you embrace.
I feel happiness and laughter, tears and sorrow,
But without you, my love, there would be no tomorrow.

I feel thunder and lightning whenever you're near.
I feel whispers of love wind brings to my ear,
But of all of the things that nature may bring,
It's your love I cherish above everything.

They say silence is Golden,
I believe it is true,
Because in that Golden silence,
my thoughts occur of you.

You are the flame in my candle
that lights the darkness of my room,
You are the scented flowers
that makes my heart full bloom.

You are the butterflies
that flicker in my stomach all day long,
When I know I will be holding you
before my day is done.

You are the stars that shimmer and shine,
You light up the skies above
In this Golden silence
it's truly you I love.

You are the thunder of the night,
your lightning strikes whenever,
Into my soul that makes me whole,
and excites my heart forever.

You are my paradise, my oceans wide,
My mountains standing tall,
So in this Golden Silence
I love you most of all.

If you love somebody with your heart, soul, and mind,
Every road to adventure is one of a kind.
Though the road may be rugged and your spirits are high,
Still the sun seems to shine on the loved ones going by.

You hold his hand and he squeezes it tight,
And your heart pounds with your eyes gleaming bright.
And those wonderful emotions you're feeling this time
and the stronger you feel, the harder you climb.

You need to travel on this long winding road,
Feeling your heart is about to explode,
So you try your best and push yourself more.
This new love you have found has lots to explore.

You thread this road with enthusiasm and glide
To win the love of the man by your side,
But don't you falter or go astray.
This man may love you by the end of your day...

Maybe this is a hope, a dream to reshape,
To fulfill your lonely life you want to escape,
But whatever the reason, you must walk head held high.
Don't lose faith; this is worth a try.

Do not lose sight of how love can grow.
When and where...guess...nobody knows,
So keep your head high, never doubt, but believe.
It does not hurt to wear your heart on your sleeve.

So don't lose ground and be as you are.
No doubt you will find your lucky star.
May take a while like all things do,
But I'm sure love is waiting on this long road for you.

You're what Christmas means to me
you're the bright lights that sparkle,
On my Christmas tree,
You're the soft snowflakes
that floats through the air,
bringing me happiness,
with songs of good cheer.
You're the loving words on my Christmas card,
You're my Christmas spirit
when missing you gets hard.
You're my Christmas joy, and the reasons I'm glad,
But Baby Christmas without you is a little bit sad
You're the feeling of giving and receiving,
And baby you're why Christmas is still worth believing
You're my special Christmas gift wrapped up just for me,
Filled with love only I can see
You're my joy of the holiday cheer
But I miss so much and wish I was there,
I would need no presents just you in my sight,
Cuddled up warm on a cold winters night.
But for now thought I miss you and love you so dear,
I wish you happiness and lots of good cheer.
Merry Christmas
