Quietly I sit in the peaceful dawn hours,
While you sleep deeply, not knowing I'm gone.
I think of the warmth and the love that you bring me
My anchor, my rock, as you've been for so long.
I know I am blessed to have you, my darling,
Your soft, gentle arms are my refuge each day,
When I'm weary or hurt, disappointed or grieving,
You carry my burden, for that is your way.
I hope I deserve all of your sweet devotion,
Though I feel I have so much to learn from you, dear,
Be certain of the love that lives deep within me,
A love that inspires me whenever you're near.
As dawn becomes lighter, I hear a faint stirring,
I sense that you know I've been here for a while,
Quiet time ended, I'm drawn back towards you,
And into the glow of your gentle smile.
