Poems from the Heart

By Faye Iris Johnson-Lenden

Faye Wedding Vows to Alf
15.10.2011

Alfred my darling I have waited so long for this day to arrive,
And as I see you standing here I'm breathless at your sight,
The beautiful bright colours that surround you my darling,
I never dreamed how wonderful you look.
I my darling will always be your friend, your lover, your wife,
& your soul mate,
I will give you freedom, I will talk to you, never about you in a harsh way,
I will listen to what you have to say, and try to understand your every mood,
I will laugh with you not at you, I will give you comfort and consoling,
When you need them, I will care for you, in every way and protect you,
At all times in sickness and in health, for now and Eternity I will love you,
With all my love forever more.

Baby Dragon Bonding
29.03.2007

Today my beautiful golden queen dragon,
Has 20 brown eggs hatching one by one,
Eagerly waiting are 60 young men all hoping,
They will be bonding with a baby dragon,
They are all standing like statues watching,
As each egg starts rocking then a baby dragon,
Appears looking at each young man in turn,
When the baby dragon makes a decision, he will,
Slowly waddle over to the one he has chosen,
Just standing looking with big brown eyes,
Waiting to be patted oh so gently by the one chosen,
For the bonding both knowing they were,
Excepted and they will be companions,
For the rest of their lives,
There are some who are disappointed they,
Were not chosen but are hopping they,
Next time will be lucky and be chosen,
By a baby dragon at the next baby dragon,
Bonding which is such an honor.

Lost and Found

11,08,1996

As I was walking down the street,

I met no one who knew my name,

I met no one who gave a smile,

I met no one who really cared,

I met no one who stops a while,

As I was walking down the street,

I met some one, who’d stop a while,

I met some one, who gave a smile,

I met some one, who really cared,

I met some one, who knew my name,

And that some one was me.

Wedding Day Blues

12,08,1996

Some one spilt a cup of tea,

On my wedding gown,

The bride’s maid sat on the flowers,

The page boy lost the ring,

We searched around for hours,

But couldn’t find the ring,

The weather man said it was fine,

But heaven help me it was raining,

The car broke down on,

The way to the church,

And I couldn’t do a thing,

When I got there late,

There was no one there,

Not even the minister of the groom,

I was all alone in the church,

Oh what a terrible thing,

They call it the wedding day blues.

A Gentle Spirit

11,09,1996

You are beautiful with a gentle spirit,

Any one who meets you is very lucky,

Your radiance shines through your eyes,

And your radiant smile.

Any one who knows you?

Will know your gentle spirit,

With your loving heart people,

Will come to love you,

For what you really are.

Never loose your gentle ways,

And you’re loving heart,

For that’s what makes you,

What you really are.

So just remember that,

I love you and I will,

Always be your friend,

No matter where we are.

To my beloved friend

A Happy Life

26/08/1996

The way to be happy with a loved one,

Is not to argue but to sit and talk it out,

No matter what it might be for if you?

Scream well and shout you may say,

Some thing you will regret later.

For once you have said the words,

You can never take then back,

And you will hurt the ones you love,

That’s some thing you will regret,

And you don’t want to do that,

So stop and think about what you,

You might say that’s the only thing to do.

So that when you talk things out,

You haven’t said a thing that will,

Hurt your loved ones then kiss and make up,

For you will have much more fun,

That’s things are right again tell,

Them that you love them,

When each day is done that’s the way,

To have a happy life you will find.

A Little Birthday Wish

for You Joan

30.05,2007

Hi my dearest friend it’s been a little while,

Since I have seen I visited you,

But today it’s your birthday so here I am,

I have been looking forward to this day,

For quite a while my dearest friend Joan.

Our friendship has lasted quite a while now,

And to me I value your kind loving words,

We talk on the phone quite often but its not,

The same as face to face which is getting,

Longer between these days which I do regret,

For this I am truly sorry.

To day we are together and I am so happy,

To be hare with you my dearest friend Joan,

Though the day will go quickly we will make,

The most of the time we have together,

And enjoy each others company I know,

When its time to part I will be sad,

To say good by to you once again,

My beloved friend Joan till we meet,

Once more I shall miss you.

So I ask our Heavenly Father to protect you,

And to guide each step you take that,

You my dearest friend Joan do not stumble,

And fall and hurt your beautiful spirit,

May He grant you health, love, joy, happiness?

And laughter and friendship,

May He grant you peace and harmony?

Safety from all danger and those who,

May harm you my dearest friend Joan.

Some day when your time comes to leave,

This earth I pray that Jesus takes you,

Gently in His loving arms back to the,

Loved ones waiting to welcome you,

Home and there will be rejoicing,

Love and happiness also peace of mind,

Heart and soul once more for you,

My dearest beloved friend Joan.

I wish you a happy birthday and,

Give you all my love as a friend,

But as that of a daughter witch I,

Think of you as my
