There's Nothing Like This

There's no place I rather be
Than right here
With the misty rain falling on me
Without a care

There's no song I'd rather hear
Than a dove's
With a melody that's crystal clear
Filled with love

There's no sight I'd rather see
Than a flower
With graceful beauty, growing free
Hour after hour

There's no friend I'd rather have
Than the wind
No secrets betrayed, kept every day
Until the end!

Memory Reflected

I look into my mirrored reflection
I cannot meet my eyes
I shy away from the imperfection
I manage to disguise

I still have the ability to smile
I dont even have to try.
But I know it was take a while
For the smile to reach my eyes,

I think back to another time
To a reflection I once knew
The smiles and laughter combined
Mirrored my thoughts of you.
