Heaven's Gift

A simple glance, is all I ask of you
Steal away my breath, like you always do
The flowers faint, each time that you walk by
Even the breeze, honors you with his sigh

The sun now shines with an envious glow
Hiding in the clouds, too ashamed to show
A beautiful gem, sparkling so bright
Even the darkness, whispers of your light

A poet's verse, love, in the purest rhyme
Thief of my attention, keeper of time
Even Shakespere himself, would surely fail
Searching for words, of your beauty to tell

Setting minds to wander, and souls adrift
Your beauty so pure, simply Heaven's gift
