…with you.

image source

I stand beside you
I hold your hand
Everywhere you go

I feel at peace
When I think of nothing
I feel at peace
When I think of you

Tranquility washes over me
When I close my eyes
And picture the serene
And steady sea

I remember the best of times in my life
Before confusion, complexity
Worldwide calamities and strife
And sudden unknown tragedies

You touch me with the gentle innocence
Found in your glance
And, you change my world
With the beauty that shines easily
From your tender precious heart
