October Sixteenth

Saturday morning October 17, 2015 9:10 a.m. Kansas City, Mo Stephen Becker pen name Brian Stoaks “October Sixteenth” Secluded in my own little world I smile with no one seeing me This private life of happiness and joy strikes every happy nerve This smile cannot be erased when you have the heart of an angel No longer am I feeling alone but blessed with your beauty daily To wake up with your words of good morning I no longer cry With your beauty all mine to cherish I no longer hide my heart I want to give you the moon, the stars, the oceans of gold My back is yours to ride when your legs are too weak to walk With my hand in yours we will not run but walk to savor every moment We shall not look backwards but forwards towards the shining stars that guide us Our hearts no longer separate, our arms no longer empty, our lips no longer frowning Yes it is you and I beginning a life that will take us into eternal bliss I am no longer afraid of belonging to the world of happiness For this smile is permanently locked into place with you in my mind My heart beats faster and the butterflies flap their wings October sixteenth is the first day of our journey towards never ending euphoria
