It Is You I Dream Of
A flower grows from beneath a blanket
Of fine and purest white
It reaches toward the sun for warmth,
For heat and for the light
My love for you grows stronger still,
Despite the surrounding cold
My heart is yours, bartered gone
For yours has it been sold
Its petals shine from morning dew
Its stem grows stiff and strong
It stands strong through the freezing cold
It stands the winter long
I long for you, for your soft touch
I miss the way you smile
The longer that we stay apart
The longer every mile
The flower stretches through the snow
It reaches toward the sun
And now without you the color is gone
The flower's petals, dun
But as we talk, and as we learn
The flower comes back to life
The snow now melts and goes away
As you take away my strife
Spring is here and growth abounds
As you are there
We are together, we are here
The snow for now is done
I see the future, in dreams I have
Of our life, long and true
I see the times where all I need
Are comforting words from you
I see the times when winter comes
As winter tends to do
But we still feel, and we still live
And I do still feel you
And so we live,
And a life of much to see
With love we live,
Happy in a way are we
I see the flower, older now,
But still strong with fresh new leaves
I see it growing, tall and strong
Reaching to the eaves
as time has passed
But together are we
And strong still today
As strong as it can be...........

Missing Treasure

The missing treasure of this sinking vessel

On the seafloor, where it would nestle

Against the base for years it'd lay

Patiently waiting for that special day

When I would come to claim my prize

Hoping the chest to my surprise

Would hold the heart that I've been missing

The talks, the laughs, the hugs, the kissing

That day has come and now I'll find

What lies ahead, no longer behind

I've searched through darkness, to the deepest sea

And found that chest staring back at me

What lies inside, I do not know

Unlock the latch and open slow

I peek within, with nerves I'm shaking

The prize inside could stop the aching

Cause within the chest that I've searched for

I found the heart and even more

The talks, the laughs, they all were there

The hugs, the kisses, for me to share

The most beautiful treasure I've finally seized

Did not imagine I could be so pleased

I searched so long through the deep sea blue

I love you baby, my prize is you....
