By Stands With a Smile
Date: 9 December 2000

Did you know?



Did you know
sleepy girl
that the amber December sunlight
filtering through the window
lit your hair like finest gold
and my heart
like the Christmas tree outside?

Have you guessed
the tone and color
of the coming holiday
has shifted
to something resembling
a perfect Christmas card
because of your daily smiles?

Did your know
my broken heart is mended
in simple silent splendor
with the warmth
of your small arms
around me each night?

Can you feel
the wonders
breaking open in me daily
with the softness of your touch
and your childlike kisses?

I am so in love with you
so drawn and taken
and enraptured
with your simple quiet loving
that I hate the moments away from you.
I love you so.
