All My Life

You are the dawn of all my love

The peaceful coo of a morning dove

The burst of light into each new day

Every beautiful thing that I ever could say

You are marigolds on a warm summer morning

Chrysanthemum richness of autumn adorning

The whisper of snow as it falls in the night

The song of a mockingbird’s springtime delight

You are starlight as it reaches my eyes

Fresh rainbow mist as it washes the skies

Sunshine warmth that I feel on my face

How I feel home again when we embrace

You are the comfort of a book on a grey rainy day

The laughter of children as they run, jump, and play

The aroma of coffee as it drifts to our room

The orange blossoms scent as it heralds its bloom

You are all of these feelings rolled into one

You, My true love under the sun

Each day I awake I love you anew

All my life’s goodness is bundled in you
