LASTING LOVE

Your love has reached my heart today,
And deep in me it has come to stay,
Finding a home till time meets end.

In my life, you've carved a niche,
Leaving a mark so indelibly etched,
And nothing fits to take its place.

In my future, I see your presence,
In ways so loving and happily spent,
Feeding my dreams as I take a view.

BECAUSE OF YOU, I RISE

You are the ray of the rising sun,
Assuring me of a bright new day,
Filled with light and hope to have.
You are the cool breeze of my morning,
With soothing fresh air good for the heart,
Filling my being with lovingness.

You are the sweet bird of the morning,
Singing tunes of love and affection,
With cheers and courage for a happy day.
You are the bud of my blooming flower, 
With scents and color so beautiful,
And the gifts of nectar so tasteful.

You bless the dawn of my new day,
And because of you, everyday I rise.

IN YOUR EYES

In your eyes, the Angels dance,
In your smile, the heavens rejoice,
Through your voice, cherubs sing, and
Through your touch, all pain is healed.

In your eyes, the Angels dance,
To a tune of joy so wild, and
Deep inside, I see some more,
A world so full of warmth and peace.

In your eyes, the Angels dance,
And if I could, yes, I would join,
In your world of love and fantasy,
Far from the flight of imagination.
