A Song For You

A song for you

Love songs 
have been written, 
been sung 
throughout the ages.

Some are soft,
succinct and sweet, 
others 
just fill the pages.

But this one,
is different 
it's something 
completely new

because this one,
that I've written...
is a song for you

Bridge

Your love is like, 
the fresh morning dew
refreshes and energizes all that I do

Your love is like 
a warm southern breeze
caressing my soul 
putting me at ease

Your love is like a river, 
flowing deep and true
carries me away to places 
I never ever knew

Your love is like the ocean, 
filled with sunken treasures
waves of love crashing over me 
spilling forth it's pleasures

Your love 
is like the stars, 
shining bright 
against dark sky
constellations blazing 
just for me, 
I don't even ask why

Your love is like 
the mountains, 
majestic and awe inspiring
climbing higher, ever higher 
the peak, I keep desiring

So I hope,
you really love this song 
as much as I do

It is something 
so different,
something totally brand new

It's not just any love song, 
filled with I love you's
This song I've written is special 
because it's a song for you
