Under gentle sheets,
Winter gave way to sheer light,
Day springs into flower.

Notes on the page dance
Like tiny ballerinas
In their frilly skirts
Their posture so straight
Dancing and twirling
Not letting me catch them.

Forever spinning
From the top to the bottom
Of my mind and the page
Never settling to let me see
What music they're meant to be.

Love or leave
Either way
You've made my life better.

Oh darling,
Your love I could not doubt
Gleaming eye and tender touch
Gentle kiss and loving voice
Knowing I am yours
That is what's nice.

Loving someone is grand
But, knowing you love me back
You love me like no one else can
Though miles apart
By your love I am still touched
That is what's grand.

With every word he speaks
Taking my breath away
His embrace wrapping me with warmth
Keeping me safe
Protecting me from harm.

It's his love I've longed for
So long I've wandered searching
Waiting for a love like this
Not only loving
But, having love in return.
