“IF ONLY I WERE WITH YOU” by Bill Charles ~~~~ I discovered this special place, ‘Deep Bay’ is its name, it’s part of an enchanted island, I felt its attraction… When I first visited there, and gazed all about, I was left breathless, as I could see His perfection… Staring out over the water, my spirit was perplexed, for when I closed my eyes, there came this lovely vision… I was holding you close, and touching you once again, at this bay where I prayed, you were not just an illusion… When I finally did open them, there was only emptiness, but you were barely gone for an instant, from my mind… I now know, there is this burning desire within me, for the likes of you, one I would never more find… My soul was left there that day, for want of your affection, perhaps I should have taken, a different avenue… But one thing I’m certain, I would give my lonely heart, if only………., if only………., if only I were with you… ~~~~ |

I'm sure that anyone would give more than that for another chance at love. Very well done. Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |

Somehow it seems that in beauty's perfection we see other images that in our heart are as beautiful and perfect as what lies before us. Breathtakingly done B.C. |
