Hearts Bouquet by Marion Carroll

You stepped into the field where all my beauty grows,
and looked about in wondrous joy and tears began to flow.
Your rain of love fell softly in my arms and on my heart,
then melted all my armour, and broke it all apart.

Exposed, I felt so naked with my flesh so raw and bare.
You cultivated tenderness with your sweet gentle care.
And I began to cherish all the warmth of your bright sun,
then blossomed with such radience to all I can become.

I'm everything I want to be, and everyday brings more
of dreams that I kept hidden and hope that I had stored.
So gather me in bunches, and in your arms I'll lay,
I'll shower you with fragance and be your hearts bouquet.

I Saw Your Father, He Became Marine Corps History
I know how you feel, your father is gone so very far away, you were just a child, moved from house to house, it was so long, before you felt the love of a home, That dream vanished in the times of a cold, hard world, flying by. Your dad was a marine, won the Navy Cross, that is wonderful, I know you wish, you could feel his arms today. Perhaps later, when you go to sleep and see, your father, Captain James Joseph Carroll, open up heaven's gate. One new marine comes through the wall of time, Marion, Salute your father, now feel his embrace as for the first time, he kisses his daughter, she is you. So proud, to have known your father and you.
