Each day I ponder on you
The beauty free and true
Birds in the sky sing their melody with you
The voice that speaks of life renewed

Each day I ponder on you
The love within fresh and pure
Flowers start to bloom around you
The charm that tells ‘I am with you’

Each day I ponder on you
The energy radiates tenderly from you
A candle’s light gently warms a heart untrue
The power that captivates journeying closer to you

Each day I ponder on you
The light and the shadow in you
The quest for freedom you are going through
The twisted reality like a wild forest unknown to you

Each day I ponder on you
The love and beauty seems unfamiliar and untrue
Banish not all the dreams of tomorrow
Deep down the ocean a mystery is spoken to you

Each day I ponder on you
A strong heart uncovered to face the real you
Exploring life to the fullest where it flows
Like a child’s smile to live life anew

Each day I ponder on you
I ask a blessing to be forever with you
To long for sunshine for the next time I’ll meet you
With a hope to continue seeing the beauty each day I ponder on you
