Essence of Me

I am here in the sunrise,

Footsteps upon the mist of the lawn;

See me in morning's pale skies,

As your cheeks are caressed by the dawn.

I am here in the bird's song,

A voice that whispers to you;

For that is where I belong,

In the light of a new morning's dew.

I am here in the warmth of sunlight,

Wrapped in soft summer breeze;

Or touch me in the twilight,

Light beams upon the waves of the seas.

I am here in the winds of March air,

Kisses cold against your face;

Arms that surround you with care,

In an awakening spring like embrace.

I am here by the fireside,

In the silence of the night;

Or see me dance on the tide,

When the moonlight is just right.

I am here in the depths of sadness,

When your tears so eagerly flow,

Or in the laughter of your gladness,

I am that special warm glow.

I will be here with you ever,

Though in time I must depart;

But in soft memories, forever,

I'll live on within your heart.
