MOMENTS OF LOVE



I loved you in the evening

When the stars came peeking out

I loved you in the night storms

When the lightning walked about



I loved you in early morning

When dawn played across your sleeping face

I loved you at your wakening

Rolling over to catch me in your embrace



I loved you in your sadness

When I wiped your tears away

I loved you in the quiet

When there was nothing more to say



I loved you in your joyousness

When I heard your laughter peel

I loved you in the noisome crowds

When you caught my hand by feel



Every moment, every action

Displays my very soul’s attraction

Whatever I do, whatever I say

I love you more every day
