A Face

AS I TRAVEL THRU THIS LIFE,
MANY FACES SHALL I SEE,
SOME SO FAIR, AND SOME SO PURE,
BUT NONE AS SWEET AS THEE.

A FACE SO BRIGHT AND FULL OF LIFE,
WITH EYES THAT SEEM TO GLOW,
A NOSE SO CUTE, A SMILE SO KIND,
CAN'T HELP BUT LOVE IT SO.

I HAVE SEEN THIS FACE IN MY DREAMS,
I SEE IT WHEN I WAKE,
WHEN I SEE IT THERE BEFORE ME,
MY BREATH IT OFTEN TAKES.

SUCH A FACE I LONG TO SEE,
EACH AND EVERY DAY,
IT FILLS MY HEART WITH SUCH A CHEER,
PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS FACE AWAY.

SO AS I TRAVEL THRU THIS WORLD,
THIS I HOLD AS TRUE,
THE FACE I SEE BEFORE ME,
OF COURSE BELONGS TO YOU.
