Of Love and Glory
(For Timothy)

Time and again I have seen
Places full of green grass
With flowers scattered all around
A soothing breeze cools the skin.

Time and again I stumbled and fell
Only to find dead leaves, dried grass
Withered flowers that lost their fragrance long ago
A warm breeze pierces the skin.

Then from nowhere…
You came and brought sunshine
Placed that constant smile on my lips
Gave that extra bounce to my steps.

You came in glory…
Finding me in my hiding place
Offering your hand
Shining, leading the way through.

Now, my days are brighter
Full of life and promise,
You gave a new significance to my life…
I love you…

"You're the best thing that ever happened to me."
