Your smile always makes
the morning better, and
there is no medicine that
can lift my soul as its
pure essence.

For you need not speak to
me with words, for your
eyes show an embracing
glow that lets me know
how you feel.

The life alive within
them  lets me know I
am always loved by
your heart, and treasured
in your thoughts

You daily show no matter
what happens in my life
you are the only one who
can make me whole.

Every time I bring forth Your image
From deep within the well of my mind
My heart begins shedding joyous tears
For Your beautiful love that’s mine

I can never escape feeling the emotions
As they easily overwhelm me each day
Just like the first time You embraced me
The raging passion of my love will stay

I was blessed the day You forgave me
That first moment You became my friend
And ever since Your spirit held me close
My life changed as I was born again

You have never forsaken me a single day
Of all the spiritual things in life I need
And I love those very special moments
When together Your living word we read

While I lift up my song of sweet love to You
Your pure life showers of heaven’s joy begin
As I humbly thank You for shedding your blood
A perfect sacrifice forgiving all of our sins.

Lost to my eyes is the morning sun
When to this day I now arise
Dark clouds hovered high above
As rain showers shared my skies

My world was so sad and lonely
With my heart much like this day
For you are far away from me
Yes so far from where I now lay

It is really hard for me to begin
Facing the sadness of this new day
When usually It starts with a smile
The one which takes my breath away

And I find its so very hard to do
Getting myself ready to go to work
For I am always greeted by your smile
But loneliness close to me now lurks

Its tentacles quietly try to entrap me
Placing its many wares into my mind
Though I try to overcome sad thoughts
I find myself overwhelmed over time

Lost to my eyes is your priceless smile
This cold day when from our bed I arose
That even Shakespeare could never capture
My mood, in sweet succulent lines of prose.

Whenever you are not with me
My heart quickly turns within
To the image, my heart will see
Whose daily love helps me begin

Nothing could ever separate us
Or keep my heart from loving you
And as long as I am breathing
To you Lord I will remain so true

My heart will sing its praises
Making moments to be treasured
I will cause them to last longer
Praying each will be alive forever

And I will never be lonely long
Without Your love here beside me
For I will give life to my dreams
As your tender touch keeps me free.

Wendell A. Brown

A flower blossoms in
your shadow every
the moment you pass by

And the morning sun
becomes jealous of
the radiance gifted
to your eyes

The wind becomes envious
because there is never
a way he can cool the day

The way the sweet aroma
of your love soothes me
so easily when you come
my way

I am always lost in
your beauty which each
morning I am blessed
to see

Especially when I find
myself gazing into
your eyes whose loving
embrace never lets me be

Each moment with you
becomes more precious
when my heart cannot
escape your meaningful
love

And I am lifted by my
heart's flaming desire,
for you are the only one
it will ever think of

And the moments when
I am not with you this
daydream will surely
always begin

As my heart belongs to
you since that moment
when my heart your love
did win.

You gave me life in my beginning
As You, LORD also chose  my name
Placing Your spirit deep within me
Making me sensitive to all things

Gently placing in my heart Your grace
Always allowing me each day to know
Wherever I choose to go in this world
With Your spirit, I am never alone

You placed me into my mother's womb
In a family where Your love thrived
Placing blessings in each generation
As each kept Your spirits flame alive

Feeling I was one of Your favorites
When each day You would let me know
As Your blessing of love embraced me
I knew Lord, you'd never let me go

Lord understanding the genuine reason
Why the words fell from my mother's lips
For she knew I would praise and serve You
As her prayer was answered with promise.

What I see each day reflected
Within your alluring smile as
You softly gaze my way

Locks itself deeply in every
Dream my mind has while never
Wanting to ever go away

For the passion and warmth which
Now fills my heart embraces it
In the most revealing of ways

That I can only lay claim to a
Special hope the loveliness of
Your smile will now always stay.
