ONLY YOU

ONLY YOU

There is a closeness that I feel
A warmness in my heart.
A feeling that I've been with you,
Even from the very start.

The brightness of your countenance,
I long to have in view,
To see the fine and gentle one,
That long ago I knew.

As I remember talks we've had,
And feel your mighty strength,
I know-that wondrous wisdom,
You'll impart to me at length.

And when my time has come and gone,
Again you're face I'll see,
As you gather me into your arms,
For all eternity.

The life...the Love you've given,
No one else would even bother,
But you gave freely-of it all.....
Only You......My Heavenly Father.........

Love the peacefulness that comes out of this one. I especially love the last stanza:

The life...the Love you've given,
No one else would even bother,
But you gave freely-of it all...
Only You...My Heavenly Father...

Soooooooo love this one.

Thank You both. This was written for a contest in our newspaper. They asked for a Love Poem. It won 1st prize. Our daughter was in school at the time and her teacher read it in her English class, not realizing that I was her mother. After class she told her Teacher who I was and her teacher told her she should be very proud of me. This was before they took God out of the schools.
