I saw you in the sunshine
The sunshine of your smile
I saw you in your prettiness
And pondered there a-while

I pondered on your beauty
The beauty of your heart
That set your face aglow
With love that you impart

I saw you in the sunshine
The warmth you gladly share
I saw you in the love of God
That makes you want to care

Poetry from the Heart

You are loving... as your own pain does not blind you to the pain of others.
You are wise... as you know the limits of your wisdom.
You are true... as you admit there are times you fool yourself.
You are alive... as tomorrow's hope means more to you than yesterday's mistake.
You are free... as you are in control of yourself and do not wish to control others.
You are generous... as you can take as sweetly as you can give.
You are thoughtful... as you see me just as I am and treat me just as you are.
You are merciful... as you forgive in others the faults you condemn in yourself.
You are beautiful... as you don't need a mirror to tell you.
You are rich... as you have the love of God within your heart.
