So Are You

Like a rose in the shade of a tree, So are you as you stand beside me; You are lovely and breathe purity: I your shade and protection will be. Like a shell on the sand of the sea, So are you as you will trustingly Seek support and direction from me, Adding color and grace charmingly. As cathedral stained windows shine bright, So are you as unique in my sight; And you shed on each person the light That shines through you by doing what's right. As the stars shine like gems in the night, So are you my unending delight, When my eye to your eye locks in sight, And my heart to your heart will unite. Like the crystals of sparkling snow Virgin white in the winter winds blow Yet in rainbows reflecting the glow Of the sun, so are you- this I know. Like the rings in the water that grow On the lake when out boating we go, And the oars spread them out while I row, So are you when my heart's filled with woe; You reach into my heart way down low And your touch spreads like rings down below; So are you, this is you- this I know.
