Light!
and a warm summer breeze.
I awake from my darkened splendor.
Music fills the air from the singing birds.
So graceful, joyful and tender.
The window is open and I look outside.
A new day has begun.
The trees so green, the sky so blue;
I try not to look at the sun.
I walk out the door and sit in my chair,
my feet now buried in sand.
The breeze from the sea, so salty, yet sweet;
this is just as we had planned.
I am overcome with emotion
as I think about you
and all that you mean to me.
I stare at the ocean,
so pretty, so blue.
Yet you are all I can see.
Neither has to breath a word.
You send a smile my way.
With watered eyes and vision blurred,
You have made my day.
