Like the way the sun shines through the clouds
after it rains.
Or the flowers that bloom in a vacant lot
amongst the tall towers of the cityscape.
Or the love of a special person.
It's amazing how we take for granted
the smile that appears before us each time we see you.
Or the way your eyes sparkle when you laugh.
Or the gift you give us each time you speak our name.
And when you are gone we suddenly realize
that we were in the presence of a living angel.
Your essence lingers long after you've walked away...
your smile is ever present in our minds.
And I am now and forever blessed by knowing you.
And I am blessed by the knowledge that you love me.
And when I think of you holding me in your arms
my heart beats a love song.
And when I remember your passion...for life,
my arms ache.
And then I realize again...you are The Greatest Gift.
I am holding you to your promise...
