DON'T LOSE SIGHT OF LOVE

When he is more important to you
More special than the sunrise
More breathtaking than the sunset
More everything in your mind
Don’t lose sight of this love.

If he gazes into your eyes
and returns your smile
If he holds you tight
and promises to call
Don’t let go of this dream.

Shower it with warm thought
Throw pink light around you both
Treasure every second you spend together
And grow in every hour spent apart
Remembering that love is worth every tear.

What kind of mess do I find myself in?
Broken down and rootless, or fancy free?
Floating, rudderless, a swirl of confusion
Or spinning in the dance of life?

Will you carry me, tide, to a safe beach
Where I can rest in peace
Away from the twisting turmoil
Away from the ties of life?

Or Will I twirl onwards and make patterns
Enjoying the freedom of floating?
While all around me seems stuck in its ways
Will I glide past with this broad grin?
