Never has a day gone by
In the travails of my youth
That I don't think of you,
That I don't turn to you—
The countless thoughtful ways,
The hugs filled with warmth,
Your smile that is ever true.
As steadfast as the sun that rises everyday,
As tender as the moon's soft embrace,
I fly to you—my comfort, my strength.
Through the storms of my life
And the deserts of my uncertainties,
Your love is always there,
Shining through.
It's not everyday that you receive
A reflection on your affections,
It's not everyday the spring rain falls
On the garden you spend with much attention—
Still you live each moment with a shrug and a smile,
And an unshakeable faith that your love
Is returned in unforeseen, special ways.
For you have touched my life
In boundless love, beyond understanding.
Through light, and rain, and surging seas,
When all seems lost and hope
Is but a faint glimmer—
There my love will always be,
Shining through.
