Sweet Morning Dew Drops

Dew, to Dawn, to Dusk, to Dust: (pause)
A sacred cycle turns while love endures.

At dawn's first light for I am beside you.
Where my soul finds peace and rest
In your presence there are fears, like fallen leaves.
Are truly comforted and blessed.
Within your eternal heart,
My love's fervent quest finds its crest;

My Love, you are a blossom kissed - 
by morning's dew.
Your grace is conveyed to many 
each passing day.
Your smile is a sunrise chasing 
nightmares away.

Your smile dispells shadows where darkness... 
once held sway.
You color the silence with gentle care on 
this our special day!
For in your kind eyes I do see 
a love that forever reflects.

Refrain: With every single touch as our love story unfolds,
Through God-given years our tender care enfolds.

Your hand in mine as the promise that endures
A love that deepens like a softly spoken prayer.
Even when wrinkles trace their stories on our skin,
Our love’s fair flame shall never dim,
Our bond unbroken, a love we’ll always bear.

Through trials faced with faith as our guiding star,
Your spirit burns. A beacon ever steadfast and true.
For together we will walk on wings of hope as one. /
How firm our foundation, forever fresh and 
forever blessed.
Within your arms your are my haven-
where peace sees me through.

Refrain: A vow so silent and holy blossoms in the hush 
of daybreak's kiss.
For you are my lifetime and each moment a sacred bliss.

Your laughter's song such a melody as sweet.
As birdsong at dawn that chases doubt away. (pause)
With you my world is a Flourishing Garden.
You a love so pure that lights up 
each and every day.
With every beat of my heart... slow murmurs:
"You're my beautiful and my cherished wife," (pause) 
"forever true."

I know that when twilight writes 
its final fading verse.
And earthly treasures crumble to dust.
Our love is a promise unwavering,
An eternal bond, 
for in faith we always trust.

Hand in hand, heavensward, ascending.

Valsa George April 24, 2024 at 9:10 PM What a soulful poem. I must say both of you are so lucky and blessed to have sustained such a deep love for each other from the day you took your vow to be man and wife, till now. She is indeed luckier to have got such an appreciative husband. "Your laughter's song, a melody as sweet, As birdsong at dawn, that chases doubt away, With you, my world, a Flourishing Garden. A love so pure, that lights up each and every day." How sweet ! You have built a Heavenly Paradise here on earth with your mutual affection.
