You are the light of my life, the sun of my days
You are the moon of my nights, the star of my gaze
You are the joy of my heart, the song of my soul
You are the love of my life, the one who makes me whole
You are the beauty of my eyes, the grace of my smile
You are the warmth of my touch, the spice of my style
You are the fire of my passion, the spark of my desire
You are the love of my life, the one who sets me on fire
You are the dream of my mind, the hope of my future
You are the peace of my spirit, the anchor of my nature
You are the gift of my fate, the blessing of my destiny
You are the love of my life, the one who is meant for me
Nothing Let But A Shell
Tomorrow does not matter
For yesterday never did
My existence was only a dance
Orchestrated by two left feet
Never did anyone notice
When my heart cried out for death
For I never truly was
Not then and not now
May someday the warmth of my touch
The light of my smile
Be at least a distant figment
Of my life which never was
May my spirit catch the wind
And sail up high above
To watch over Forever
Those of whom I loved
In the distance I hear you Kim my baby girl
Saying, Momma please come on home
I love you Mommy, hold me
God wants you here at home.
