Holding on Together - Forever

Sheryl and I so often send one another songs and lyrics because we can't always find the words to express what we want to say. Last week we spent several days in Raleigh together. It was a business trip, although we did get to meet with friends on Saturday for lunch before we flew home.

For me, it was also a very important trip in personal ways. We experience epiphanies at different levels throughout our lives. Sometimes they're simply a light coming on. Sometimes they are powerful realizations that shape our destiny. On Wednesday evening, Sheryl and I shared some quiet time alone together in our room after a day of powerful realization for me. I've known for a long time that I love Sheryl beyond anything I will ever find the words for. I've known I need her too. But we are so tightly woven together, that we really are as one.

This morning, Sheryl sent me these lyrics.

If We Hold On Together

Don't lose your way
With each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith, hope & glory
Hold to the truth in your heart

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end
Valley, mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying
Someone is praying
Please let us come home to stay

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

When we are out there in the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark we'll feel the light
Warm our hearts, everyone

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by
For you and I

Diana Ross - If We Hold on Together

My darling Sheryl, I will forever hold on and keep my way. My way is forever with you. Loving you has given me so much joy and happiness. We've had moments of struggle, and we'll have them as long as we live. But forever my love, I am yours in every way. I belong to you eternally. You are my star and we will forever dream our dreams together as we build our life. Our dreams will never die, and my love for you is everlasting. It really does grow bigger and stronger each passing day.
