When I Look At You
When I look at you I see so much more than face or features,
Cunningly crafted container to the treasure stored within.
When I look at you I see small glimpses through the window of your soul,
Which compel me with gentle promises of constance and abiding.
When I look at you I know at last, that I've come home.
There's a sense of peace and happiness like none I've ever known.
When I look at you I see my playmate, who stirs the sleeping child.
You dare me to dream and hope and grow and truly enjoy my life.
When I look at you I see my destiny, and all my dreams fulfilled.
Two halves, one whole, two hearts, one soul finally complete.
When I look at you and see the love that lights up your eyes,
I am breathless with wonder at the miracle...
When I look at you.
