Always Be You
(Valentine's Day 2016)
When morning skies brighten with a luminous blue,
It pales to grey-tones when the morning sees you.
When evening stars glitter against deepening hues,
The evening bows in reverence when the stars look at you.
As the seasons roll forward and Spring greens all things new,
The seasons hush their colors and weave a queen's crown for you.
As I press pen to paper to speak fresh words anew,
I symphonize the old familiar song, "It will always be you."
My valentine, my heart-song, my sweet lady, it's true,
Now and forevermore, "It will always be you."
