The Gift You Bring

Into my heart, you stirred
Beauty and grace, hope so alive
Breathing in color, inspiring
Music that arises from the flames
Burning with compassion, erasing
Every doubt, disgrace and darkness
With the wonder of a light
Fulfillment in hues of a sigh, a love
Awash in brilliance, rich, uplifting
Kindness that abides on the inside
Inspired by the reflection of you
Mirroring all the love I yearn for

Into my soul, you brightened
The feelings that I cherish, the reasons
Acceptance thrives like my smile
Who is laughing with wishes so pure
Beautiful feelings, sensitive and true
Coloring my dreams in hues of peace
Awakening my courage with plans
To give me the food to feed my hunger
For a wonderful realization, love so inviting
It feels like the answer to a prayer
The intimacy that moves me close
To you and your loving ways, your 
Serenity and faith, your giving – your gift
Of offering so much of yourself

Into my spirit, you sparkle, dazzling
Like the dance that swirls joy
Through my promises, my beliefs
Gentling each thought with reprieve
From the loneliness, the darkness
Shadows of doubt lingering to cloud
My greatest pleasure, the relationship
Where I’ve found a part of myself
In the eyes of someone else… You
The one who silences my fears, my tears
With heartening whispers, endearments
That leave me feeling valued, adored
As if I’m someone – love has come for

Into my life, you embraced me
Kissing away every reservation with assurance
That your love was enough to free me
From the solitude, the isolation – the seclusion
Aloneness that was swarming with a quiet
Echoing the need for a best friend, someone
Who I could count on, someone to love
With a love that is inspired by God’s grace
A love that is alive, full of joy and faith
A love that is mine – because I see your face
When I think of how it feels to give away
The parts of me that your love uncovers

Thank you, my special friend – for you
And all the joy, hope and love you bring!
