JUST TO SEE YOUR EYES
Just to see your eyes
enflames my sense of wonder--
a fire from within,
a blaze from without,
a wonder beyond my words to express,
that for all these years
you've made yourself a part
of my humble life.
And if from time to time
I see a trace of sadness,
I know it is from my doing and not yours,
for I find peace in your presence,
a simple joyfulness in knowing
you volunteered
to spend your days with me.
And I feel a sweet contentment,
green grass and snowfall,
from deep within arise,
and the blessed gift of happiness--
Just to see your eyes.
