SHINING LANTERN

© RYAN GUILEY

So many people walk by,

That don’t ever have a clue,

As they just complain and sigh,

How fortunate life is, if they ever knew.

No one will ever understand,

Except you, what it was like,

Holding on my wedding band,

As you are perfect without any strikes.

Everyone is being just in a pattern,

Going to work, eat, and finally sleep,

But you burn like a shining lantern,

No one takes risks or runs so deep.

I miss you dearly, every second,

As I try and keep busy each night,

Never falling to make a wrecking,

As I have you to hold on tight.

It is hard to hold back my tears,

But you know what is completely right,

Not letting me down as you held on near,

Making me reach new boundaries and heights.

Your smile is out of this world,

Your voice is I just want to hear,

You’re that ocean miraculous pearl,

The one who I owe so much since you care.

I am going to have a great February,

Lose weight, play guitar and compose,

As I just think about you to carry,

To avoid me to reach those lows.

Take care my love, who I just adore,

Someone who I just want to be with,

Who I can’t get enough and want more,

You are blessed to me as a special gift.
