my Belle

I knew you
and all that’s been said and written is true
so what do I say tonite?
another day has come and gone
another year too
and your light shines 8 times brighter still.

I wonder
can others tell
how wonderful you are
tonight here in my heart
and how right my life is because of you?

I wonder
can they see how easy it is to love
on account of you?
how mighty almighty rich that is?
getting folks outta bed each day?

I wonder
do my eyes give you away?
My smile?

I wonder
can you see how fiercely loved you are?
do you see us loving you up?

I wonder
How many of us are tucked in tight
with you tonite?
