Thinking of the how and why, the wherefore and the who Returns me inexorably to the serenity of you, returns me to the values you hold there in your hand When you smile your gentle smile and say you understand. When you calm the stormy waters and sooth away the tears And take my craggy face in hand to kiss away the years, When you sit and share a moments time to sip a cup of tea Reflecting on those little things that mean so much to me ...And when you smile into my whiskered face with those honest eyes I love My world becomes as tranquil as that peerless sky above.
