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.

No one can tell me
What to do
My heart, my mind
My dear
It’s up to you
Whether I listen
Whether it’s the right thing
To do
I don’t know
But
It’s up to me
To do
The best thing
I think I should do.

I know once again
You are near to me
I feel your touch
Your breath breathing
Quietly
My heart pounds
My finger seek
To caress
The very essence of you
That be
To keep
Keep you forever
Here
Near to me

Were you there
Did you see
The beauty, the kindness
And
All giving majesty?
It took my breath away
My eyes could not believe
All that wonder
Right there
There in front of me.
Let me not forget
All this
That I’ve seen.
Hoping you’ve witnessed
Too
This beauty, this kindness
And
All giving majesty.

Totally don’t know
What to say
Maybe later, later in the day
All will be clear
All
Understood
And
I’ll know, know what I should say
I surely should.

No way, no where
to be
so travel on
to
somewhere
kind and decent
Make sure you care
that
your heart
is
filled with love
that
there’s no way
no where
else
you’d rather be.

I figure and figure
Try to scheme
The best way to maneuver
All life’s dreams
Sometimes I’m pleased
Sometimes
Not
So much
But
It all boils down
To
What I want the most
Want so much.

You gave me life
you showed me how
to
live life
exist in a world
that
sometimes wears a scowl
You didn’t accept the mundane, the trivial
you shot for the heights
you tried, you did it
then
you showed me how.

May the trees survive winter
Blossom in the spring
Sending forth life
Giving all, nourishing.
May the sun rise in the morning
Rest asleep at night
To come up the next morning
Bringing warmth, love
And fields of waving buttercup delight.
May the seeds dropped in fall
Spring, rise, growing tall
Spreading roots out for nourishment
Leaves reaching up, growing
Til the fall.
May the wind blow breezes
Both strong or gentle
And then not at all.
May they bring on currents
Moisture, rain to quench
The thirst of everyone
Everyone, everything and all.
May, may we live
May we live us all.
