Hearing your laugh and seeing your smile

causes my heart to flutter with bliss.

Your emotions out and in a pile,

and my own emotions, I can't dismiss.

Your fragile heart of paper hides from most

but you have shown me who you are inside.

Before I met you, I was a milqetoast,

but now I feel, with you, I can confide.

Forbidden from showing my affection,

I'll hide my love till I can set it free,

but my heart still sings its joyful paean.

My Jesus in Disguise, you will still be.

You'd never tell a lie and you're loyal,

and that is why I'll love you through it all.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
