It Is

And so it is:

as a sweet song meant to serenade

Give me your morning smile

and a sunbeam

lasering thru white linen curtains

yes, I am certain.

Give me a symphony

played by glee club birds

and children’s laughter at play,

my senses and you: our way.

Give me blessed time

for the blessed rhyme

of your flow-thru style

I feel the gypsy in you

our eternal rendezvous.

Give me your candlelight spirit

without a flicker,

unfolding like a waterfall

into an everlasting river

your special way to deliver.

And so it is:

our love

until we perish

from this earth.
