My Flower

You brighten my days

With your beautiful smile,

You guide my heart
And hold me in your arms.

You are the rain
When my tears are dry,
You stand in the storm
And promise the sun.

You gave a part of you
So I can be,

Through you,

Alive.

You were by my side
During sleepless nights,

And chased away fear

With the touch of your hand.

You gathered my dreams

In your beautiful eyes,

You sheltered my path,
So that through you,
I can thrive.

And, as the deepest oceans
Stretch their wings
Between us,

And time and stars

Fall faster

Through your hourglass, still bright,

My love is near,

For you will always be

The blooming flower

In my heart.
