My Reason For Living

My world gets up at five every day Gets home at five too Works too many hours so I don't have too. My light in this life cares too deeply My light, is burning at both ends most days Joy of living, song of my heart Over flow my soul with the joy of your smile Caress my senses with your presence One look and I melt...to you. For Matt Calari's Contest I love you...
