Dearest

I pray that you wake with a smile on your lips
A song in your heart, a beat in your steps
I pray that morn finds you, awake and alert
Still living and free, not sluggish or curt
I pray the sun greets you with all of its ease
That no sickness finds you, not even a sneeze
I pray most of all for your warmth and your care
To know that I love you and of this I swear

What I'm Wanting

Love first and foremost
A one that cares about the things I do
Who I am is simply enough
No strings attached at all
In the arms of love
Lived and re-lived again
When it doesn't really matter
What else happens in this world
Because all I see and feel
Is all of you
No worries, no problems
Just the same simple peace
Thank God for your love
You opened my eyes up to it
Taught me to live
And not keep it all in
But to give it away
Just hold me and whisper in my ear
Tell me you'll be the one
To stay by my side
Through the rest of my days
And love me when all else is gone
