Knowing You

When the world seems
Dark and gloomy,
You shine upon my life
Like the morning sun

You are the moon
With your nightly beauty
that helps me rest
In peaceful sleep

The stars blush
At the brightness
You project
Upon a poor soul like me

Your are like the plants
Which bring the air I breath
And each breathe I take
helps me live for you.

The calming waters of the earth
Are as free as every thought
You impart to me
With clarity to my tortured soul

I am free to say
You are a true friend
Who I love
And will always feel
Proud to know
