Shiner (A Poem)

    She rises every day to greet me.
    She shines her light upon my feet.
    She guides the path that lies beneath me.
    She starts the day with her eyes on me
    She has brightened up my world,
    I’m enlightened by this girl.

    As sure as the sun shines,
    I can’t get you out of my mind.
    Unfading love and light
    I’d be nothing without you in my life.

    Her hair it falls in golden rays
    Her stare, like fire, sets me ablaze.
    Her smile it warms me on a cloudy day.
    Girl, shine your light and won’t you shine my way.

    You have brightened up my world.
    I’m enlightened by you, girl.

     

    As sure as the sun shines,
    I can’t get you out of my mind.
    Unfading love and light
    I’d be nothing without you in my life.

    And at night, comes the moon,
    How it reminds me with reflections of you
    Of all the stars in my view
    The closest one I keep is you
    There in all the dark hours I sleep through
    While I dream of awaking to you.

    As sure as the sun shines,
    I can’t get you out of my mind.
    Unfading love and light
    I’d be nothing without you in my life.
