A Poem For Joy Soft is the touch of her hand in mine Soft is the kiss of her lips on mine Sweet is her voice that soothes my soul Sweet is her spirit that helps lift mine To hold her is to hold an angel Glad that she wont fly away When we're apart I feel empty When we're together I feel whole Father has chosen one for me and I am glad I wondered if this would ever happen and it did No blessing in my life can compare My greatest blessing is her So understanding, loving and caring Compassionate, humble, and sharing Her bright smile brightens my day Her gentle touch makes troubles go away Who else can do this for me? No one else, only she I see her spirit shine so bright So to her I must hang on tight I love her with al my heart But every day growing Her eyes calm as the sea Can look and see right through me To the heart and spirit And sees what I can be With out her I would be lost Like a man in the mist Not knowing which way to go She is my light in the distance Showing me gently which way to go My love for her is more than I can say And it grows more and more each day She is my love, my life, my friend She is the one I can confide in She is my companion and eternal mate She is my one and only date She is my happiness She is my wife She is my Joy By : David Burkey � 1998 |
