Listening to every heart

Give me a Reason

So give me a reason to shine
and I will give you life
and love and reasons
to live again and
live on in all
memory for
eternity is
yours

and another gift you might
bring to me is snow ~
more snow and then
one more crystal
star so that I
might bright
the world
today

see

I
can
make the
grayest day
shine in the love
of light if you were
to just listen and think
'why, I can give her snow
if only in a crystal water ball"

I
will
do the
impossible
and cause sets
of smiles to crease
your face with embrace
of the warm, warm scene
of snow under sunlit beams
and melt the sorrow from your face

so do not harbor
nightmare scenes
but glimpse me in
those loving dreams
and behold me in the
dark of night, a vision
of tomorrow's light
as I shall bring you
love

I could give a hundred thousand
Thoughts for you to shine.
You only need to give me one..
By saying you are mine.

I would send two hundred thousand
Wishes just for you
Just to hear you say one time
Your love for me was true.

I'll bring snow in crystal glass
That you can gladly shake
If you will tell me that my heart
Is one that you won't break.

Melt the sorrow from my face
Bring your sweet love to me
And I will give you cause to shine
For all eternity.


Well, it's your fault, sunshine...you post such a romantic poem and you're gonna get a romantic response...especially from a flirt!

'Deer, to garner a compliment from you is one thing, but to get a song sung back is simply another, and now, I'm blushing...so I say...thank you...and you can quit flirting now...

Denise...it is so nice to see you around this often...thank you dear!...

Sharon, you know I love it when you pop in for a "Hi!"...thanks!...

Coco...when a poet reader takes a line or two from the poem to express back what they saw in the piece is a compliment indeed, thank you for being such a frequent reader!...
