Where I’ve been
what I’ve seen
is
nothing
compared to you.
It does not
raise the temperature
it doesn’t make
the news.
But it’s
where I’ve been
it’s
what I’ve seen
it’s everything.
Everything
that makes me
me
not you.

Holy matrimony
Does not mean pure bliss
All you’d hope it be
Everything.
For there are times, there are places
No married person wants to
Experience
Times that seem they never end
Everything.
But the love you feel
The happiness, the laughter
All the intimate times
Are what will carry you thru
Everything.

You have been everything to me
My rock, my solid
All I need
You have never let me down
Never criticized
Or
Let me be alone in sadness
No, that’s what you haven’t been
I love you
For all you’ve done
And
Have been to this person
I’ve become
Because of you
To me
You are my everything.

When I hear the voices call
My heart bumps
skips a beat.
When I hear that melody
I know
know I’m not alone
nor to be.
When I hear the voices sing
sing of love, compassion
everything.

No writing this morning
no words to be said
everything left on my pillow
the words, they slipped
right out of my head.

The cover of darkness
Has been rolled back
Slowly, so slowly light creeps
Into the day
Til the sun shines bright
Giving light, lighting each way
To everyone, everything
Each and everyday.

I fear my heart will sink
Deep beneath all those things
That
Run my world
Bringing morning sun
And everything.
Then
Will I still be able
To laugh, cry and see
Moon beams streaming
Love
Filled with ecstasy?

How do I know, know what to do
How do I know
Please tell me the path
The best way
The right things to do.
I’m not alone, can’t be alone
For everything, all that I know
I know you’ve told me
Everything
I’ve needed to know to do.

Everything is for a reason.
Not mine to wonder why.

Heaven helps
Helps me see
The things I need to see
Feel the things that will guide me
Hear the beauty in everything
Everything
Everything around me.
