Where did your dreams go?
Did they expire over time,
or hide in your mind.
Life is challenging.
First they give a name to you,
then take it away.
Because your truths don't align.
With what's written on a sign.
I've shadows inside.
I hesitate to explain.
Happiness I feign
I write from the heart.
Inner feelings I mix well,
with the tears that start.
Careful with my heart.
It has been battered and bruised,
denied and refused.
I will fire a warning shot,
just to protect what I've got.
You are so precious—
like the tears I try to hide
when joy overflows
and my heart opens wide.

You are so precious—
like a rainbow in the sky,
when the sun breaks through
and the storm says goodbye.

You are so precious—
like sunshine’s gentle rays
warming frozen hearts
on cold winter days.

You are so precious—
like the tender gaze we share,
when words fall away
but our eyes still care.

You are so precious—
like the laughter of a child,
pure and bright,
glowing with a light so wild.

You are so precious—
like a kiss upon the brow,
where souls softly meet
and time forgets to bow.

You are so precious—
like the breath I take each day,
quiet, unseen,
yet keeping life in play.
