Greetings, all! I have updated an older poem that I would like to share with you today. May it be an encouragement to your heart, and brighten your way this day.

____________

Depth, deeper than ocean’s deep

Love deeper still

You were to me

The heart of the glowing moon

Light in my night to fill.

A man awakens from sleep

And squints from the glare

For this love his heart may even weep

When he is hardly aware.

But then he’d boldly proclaim and say

So shall I refuse to accept anything less

You have shown me a better way

Caring and sharing from the heart, no less

A love that’s here to stay.

Was the gift you gave me

A gift to treasure

A love not only to feel, but also to see

A gift forever and ever.

Could I return the favor

I would wrap it in a package fit for a queen

To bestow upon the one

To whom my glowing heart has seen.

A gift as bright as the sun

I would give her the light of high noon

My precious gift to the one

Who holds the heart of the moon.
