BRIGHT DAY

Oh, the sky is so blue
warm sun looking down on you
birds flying everywhere
leaves gently rustling in air
radiant your face composed
happiness your smile exposes
sparkling eyes captivating
your presence incites my feeling
can heaven be so close
in your shadow my heart is lost
dearest what have you begun
all my earthly cares you have undone
without you how can I carry on
your love my prison makes
though happy am I to be so enslaved
my dearest enraptured am I
you are my godsend
my one and only one
together we will be as one
love, yes love will always be ours alone.
