Your Face

your sweetness makes me weep…
i breathe heavy looking at your face
so, i pause and ponder only of you
at different times throughout the day
and am amazed how quickly
i have memorized your face
within the creases of my mind.
i see you when i shut my eyes.
i see you when they are open.
you always stand just in front of me
yet, far enough away i cannot touch.
i have to tell you something my love
something secret and hidden.
there have been others i have known
since the mother of my children died
but, it was always HER face i saw
no matter who or what.
now since meeting you, it is God’s miracle…
i only see you, only you i see…
and never thought i such a day to be.
