The Night The Earth Stood Still

The Night The Earth Stood Still

From the moment that I first saw you, I felt the Earth stop in it’s tracks;

Your lovely smile made my head spin, as Cupid’s arrow me attacked!

It landed in the bullseye, the core of my lonely heart;

Then my soul came out to greet yours, and vowed they’d never part!

 

We didn’t realize what was happening, but we both felt just the same;

Love was in the air we both shared, before we knew our names!

Electricity was flying, for this couple who just had met;

How could we have ever known, our future that night was set!

 

Of all the places to find one’s soulmate, a singles rendezvous;

Where people go to laugh and party, not find love so very true!

We discoed and we slow danced, as we held each other tight;

We kissed goodbye at two a.m., and made a date for the next night!

 

Then only four days later, after a weekend’s ecstasy;

We pledged our love forever, knowing together we’d ever be!

I moved in with you soon thereafter, we made plans in June, to wed;

Eight months later we were married, in such elegance our vows said!

 

That was almost twenty-five years ago, “The Night The Earth Stood Still”;

But I remember as if it were yesterday, for my heart with love’s e’er filled!

Each day I look so forward, to spending it with you;

My soulmate from a singles dance, I love you oh so true!

Our Dear Georgina,

Thank you so much for those loving words.  I do still blush whenever Larry writes one of these love poems for me.  They are always so beautiful and let me know where his heart is all the time.  Of course, the feelings are reciprocated equally.

We love you too,

Cody, Linda and Larry xxx

My Dear Sweet Sparrowsong,

So very true.

With such beautiful dear friends that we have been so fortunate to meet on Cosmo, we can always expect the unexpected.  Thank you for your lovely words that touched our hearts.  We have such a soulful common bond, that I feel we should concentrate on that, and not have any more disagreements about politics.  I apologize for what I feel was being inconsiderate about your views, for who truly knows what the future holds.  

All my love,

Larry xxx

Hello Larry...

Someone knows the future...

We just haven't reached it and we can't see it right now...

Like, I don't know how I will die in the earth...

I am in no hurry to find out...

But, I know that I will know what I will know when I get there...

Happy Easter to you both and Cody too!

Hugs, Peace and Love

My Dear Brother Jai,

Yes, Jai, it was definitely "bashert" that brought Linda and me together.  Just as it was bashert, that brought us to Cosmo 2 years ago, to meet beautiful people like you.  Somebody up there must like us.

Peace and Love,

Linda and Larrt xxx
