Because of Only One
I find my mind always begins to daydream
Every moment when you come so near
So much that even as I close my eyes
I can see your smile in my mind so clear
And all of my thoughts become like a mirror
As your awesome beauty they capture and hold
While imprinted so deep on the walls of my heart
Is the single image which each day lights my soul
My mind and heart now own all of my emotions
As each new day my feelings begain to rise again
In this beautiful game as old as the earth itself
The one of love shared between men and women
And I find myself again starting to daydream
That wonderful moment when you come so near
In vain I try to arrest my deep feelings for you
As the reason for my falling becomes so clear
And deep within my spirit begins to shine so brightly
Much more radiant than a thousand burning suns
As I quietly give in knowing I must always remember
The happiness I now feel comes because of only one
Wendell A. Brown,
