Ruth

You are my dawn
the first light of my days
As I awake from rumpled sleep
I think of you
and my world's at peace

You are my morning
the warmth of my new day
and on my present journey
I think of you
and my doubts are stayed

You are my noon
my solace at midday
As I rest from my day’s tasks
I think of you
and know I’ll find my way

You are my afternoon
my sunlight midst the grey
However life is going
I think of you
and forgive my yesterdays

You are my sunset
lighting up my sky
If I am sad at parting
I think of you
and know tomorrow’s on its way

You are my evening twilight
shining on my shadows
seeing things more clearly
I think of you
and still my fears of night

You are my pearl-sheened moonlight
shadowless delight
and as I drift to sleep
I think of you
and everything’s all right.
