Your beauty was that arc
the bright light upon an horizon
Just to look into your eyes
and absorb every moment

For a heart to care
in kindness of share
Where there was more
behind your smile, than dreams

Somewhere out there, was the light
the lamp behind your wondrous grin
That heart in rhythm it did beat
somewhere there you were
knowing, wondering, would it be true

But do you give up
no, you press forward
Forward to the day you’ll understand
the day your embrace was never to let go


“For thou art my lamp, O LORD:
and the LORD will lighten my darkness.”
2 Samuel 22: 29 KJV
