Your captivating smile
sets my heart at ease
and tells my soul that all is well.

Looking in your eyes
transports me to a different place
Where sadness and despair cannot go
where only joy and comfort and caring surround me.

As I recall the distant echoes of your laughter
each laugh brings waves of joy to my soul
and I think how joyous that it was me who brought you this happiness
and my soul is lifted in return.

Oh how I long for those days again
walking hand in hand, never letting go
until sleep wrenches the consciousness from me.
