It Is You I Dream Of

A flower grows from beneath a blanketOf fine and purest whiteIt reaches toward the sun for warmth,

For heat and for the lightMy love for you grows stronger still,Despite the surrounding coldMy heart is yours,

bartered goneFor yours has it been soldIts petals shine from morning dewIts stem grows stiff and strongIt stands strong through the freezing coldIt stands the winter longI long for you, for your soft touchI miss the way you smile

The longer that we stay apartThe longer every mileThe flower stretches through the snowIt reaches toward the sunAnd now without you the color is goneThe flower's petals, dunBut as we talk, and as we learn

The flower comes back to lifeThe snow now melts and goes awayAs you take away my strifeSpring is here and growth aboundsAs you and I are oneWe are together, we are in loveThe snow for now is doneI see the future, in dreams

I haveOf our life, long and trueI see the times where all I needAre comforting words from youI see the times when winter comesAs winter tends to doBut we still love, and we still liveAnd I do still love youAnd so we live, with children ours

And a life of much to seeWith love we live, to live we loveHappy together are weI see the flower, older now,But still strong with fresh new leavesI see it growing, tall and strongReaching to the eavesWe are now old, as years have passedBut old together are weAnd strong our love still todayAs strong as it can be
