Waves of emotion carry me along
The journey of every day, as I awake
Each morning with the realization that
A new day has dawned, and an uncertain
Future is held out to me, anxiety gives way
To fear and inability to see my way through the fog
And after the day is passed and a new morning has dawned
I feel relief when I discover that the
Clouds have given way to clear skies and harmony
Every night
When I hear you sleep
I hear
Each breath you take
The beating
Of your resting heart
Keeps you
Alive and here with me
And when
That beating stops
You would
Be taken away from me
So finally
Live
It
For
Eternity
Exploding colors
Brightening life’s long day
When we are sad and blue
Flowers reflect the inward hue
My soul’s beating heart
Keeps marching to the passing
Of one finite day
