My Dream Girl
You have the sweetest heart, my Rosa -
beating as one with my own.
Your face is there to draw me onward,
and keeps me from feeling alone.
Always, your smile fulfills my desires,
Fully, your nearness i miss -
All the warmth in those brown eyes, i'm remembering;
The heaven we shared, when our lips
first touched in one sweet, tender kiss.
You lead the way with grace and beauty
and touch every life for the good;
Effortless giving is your passion
at work, and in Motherhood.
Your love returns when you find me waiting
for you, beyond stress and time -
Ever lost in those brown eyes, i'm remembering
the heaven we shared, both in life
and in my dreams of you sublime.
Santa Rosa
Rosa, your smile is precious light to me -
Shining in the darkness, you're a lovely sight to see.
Searching my dreams, i find your face still there,
calling softly to me with a voice that's everywhere.
The slightest words or laughter coming from those tender lips -
The love within your sparkling eyes and in your fingertips
touch every waking minute while your heart now seems to say
far more than just "I Love you, and I want your heart to stay."
Rosa, you have become a part of me ;
Distance cannot hide you when you're in each memory.
Time is one thing that could pull us apart -
Still, we'll be together in my dreams,
and in my heart.
