Remembering

.                                            This morning I'm still smiling          . 
 .                                    from our words of love last night,           .
  .                               The thunder's cries could not outdo           .
   .                 The softly whispered shouts of "I love you."           .
  .                                                                                            .
 .                                   This afternoon a haunting tune               .
.                                    of love runs through my mind,                 .
 .                                   And weaves a simple tapestry                 .
  .                       Of life and love and you in harmony.                 .
   .                                                                                          .
  .                             When feelings get too big to fit                   .
 .	                               Inside the cage of words,                      .
.                       Although there are no words to say                       .
 .                    We go ahead and say them anyway.                       .
  .                                                                                             .
   .                       This evening I'm remembering                        .
  .                      the thoughts that filled my day;                         .
 .                    Inside my mind chorales unwind,                            .
.             The dissonance of life resolves to you.                             .
 .                                                                                               .
  .                           Tomorrow we can borrow                              .
   .                      just another day from God,                              .
  .                Adoring each brief joy it brings                                 .
 .   That someday we will be remembering                                     .
