I Think of You

From the moment I awake
With every single breath I take
With every vital beat of my heart
And every moment we’re apart

In every single thing I do;
Eating my lunch or lacing my shoe
Shaving my chin or combing my hair
Rushing headlong here and there
Writing a letter or reading a book
Washing up or trying to cook
Singing along when the crooner sings
Taking apart or mending things
Watching a movie on TV
Settling down with a cup of tea
Being busy or enjoying my rest
Just doing things that I enjoy best

Laying in my bed at night
Even when I turn out the light
The thing I mostly ever do
Is think and think and think of you!

Author's Note:I wrote this poem over forty years ago when I was still at school. Naturally, I had a particular girl in mind at the time! :-)
