Elyse

Oh to see the moon through her eyes and to feel the sun the first time

No preconceptions

She looks at me and smiles as she stands

While clutching my sandpaper hands

No imperfection

She elates and illuminates

Every strangers face

She sets free, moentarily

Everyone she sees

So this is what they've talked about

So bountiful that you never run out

A love unmeasured i feel her pain, i feel her delight

I feel removed from myself in her sight

An infinite treasure

She elates and illuminates

Every strangers face

She sets free, moentarily

Everyone she sees

I count the days till she looks at me

And saysthe words that she' heard so repeatedly

Then again i wish time would slow down

Because i want to savor a while

Her innocent eyes an untainted smile

She elates and illuminates

Every strangers face

She sets free, moentarily

Everyone she sees

Every day a new revelation
