You'Re a Little Like Me

You’re a little bit like sunshine Flooding the windowsill After an invigorating rain shower Whispers prayers to heaven Praising the One who gave us all The buttery sun and throbbing Patter of rain melting all the heat Sighing with compassion That breathes kindness throughout Heaven’s melody for creation You’re a little like the cool night Full of stars flickering across the dark Dissolving laughter through sighs Of poetic images told on caresses From the one who knows best The reason for a gentle touch A gaze that reveals the longing Inside the eyes who twinkle delight And remind me why I am someone Who feels most alive in silence You’re a little like the memories That hold my heart and soul In hands of grateful reminiscences Throbbing with a heartbeat of knowing That it is only God’s kindness Who lifts the burden of pain and sorrow From the soul who has experienced Love and loss, aliveness and then death The memories are both burdens And a whispery embrace from the past You’re a little like music flowing From a soft instrument A graceful guitar or a melancholy Piano who knows the art Of giving someone the chance to sing Of joy, heartbreak and pain A chance to reflect on the melody Of hope and faith, love that lives In the heart who knows to always give You’re a little like me You’re wild and you’re free But you cling to the belief That love never leaves! Love is eternally bleeding Through the veins of the heart Who clings to prayers for love That is forever and always A breath in the lungs A hope in the heart A joy that is sought And a love that I want! You’re a little like us all You have a good heart!
