My Fair Lady
You came into my life
Like a breath of fresh air
Like a gust of fragrance
Like a passing cool breeze
Like a meandering stream
Like a cascading waterfall
Like the robust rising sun
Like the gleaming full moon
Like the dancing flame of a candle
Like a sparkling gem
Like the smile of a child
Like a coy bride
Like the blazing colors of fall
Like the rebirth of Nature in spring
Like the thrill of a roller coaster ride
Like the wanderer finding a home.
You permeate my soul, my being
I see you in the grace of Nature
I see you in the potency of the prayer
I see you in my dreams
I think of you and
feel you by my side -
Every moment, every breath.
For once I am at peace,
I have no complaints with the world,
Everything seems to
appear as it should be,
I find ways to be grateful.
You are most beautiful,
Most enduring,
Most heartening;
Life is a journey
You, its destination.
Like a flickering light
at the end of the tunnel,
Like a shimmering mirage
to a weary wayfarer,
Like the glimmering North Star
to a lost seafarer,
Oh, stay forever
within my sight, my love,
Lest I wander off
Alone and lost!
