Wake Robin, pastel 2005

You're everything that makes me smile--
things like sunshine, honesty, and spring.
Your very existence makes life worthwhile,
because into my life you bring
all the things that make me whole,
all the joy life has to give,
all the wonder that fills my soul.
From moment to moment I live
just to be by your side, just to hear your voice,
just to be able to touch your hand.
Time is my enemy, I have no choice
but to try to understand
why the seconds stand still when I am without you,
why they rush on when I want them stilled.
I'm not sure what it is, but there's something special about you,
and there's a special place in my heart that you've filled
with a feeling that's deep, a feeling that's strong,
the special feeling that I am writing of,
and only to you does it belong,
this beautiful feeling --
love.

From beginnings.
