How Shall I Write For You Tonight
How shall I write for you tonight
when the words don't seem to flow?
I could write about the moon and the stars
and how, to you, they don't compare
to those starry caramel eyes
that look deep inside of me
wrap around my sated heart
and fill my life with glee
I could write about your killer smile
that brightens my every thought
that gives me strength to carry on
when sad or when distraught
I could write about your compassion
your powerful soul or your caring heart
I could tell you how much I love you
and how we'll never be apart
I could verse a poem about
how I admire who you are
your virtues, values, giving of your time
what you stand for or
how I'm proud to call you mine
I could write a song that would praise
your love of God
the less fortunate,
His children
and all of those in need.
How can I possibly write
a worthy poem that sings
praises high enough of you
when all you do
seems right and just
and your intentions are so true.
Tonight I'll try to write my sweet
of one who strives to rid the world of hurt
So I'll close my eyes and picture you
and hope I find the words
