Walking past a clear calm lake
my lover by my side.
She pauses me with tender yank
points my gaze down with surprise.
She looks at her young slender man,
blond hair and pale blue eyes.
she sees that little smile he makes,
whenever she walks by.

She pulls herself up close to me,
puts tender kiss upon my cheek.
"You know you've always been,
and will be good enough for me."
It made me stumble onto what,
I was always searching for.
Knowing I've found everything,
but now it means much more.

Down into that mirror I looked,
at the man I'd grown to be.
For in those words we found relief,
and I glowed in her esteem.
Days and nights will pass us by,
but our love will always be.
For she had finally found a way,
to put my mind at ease.
