In Your Eyes

You gave me a new light to shine in my eyes,

To brighten my path, clear clouds from the skies.

You gave me a light that's been dim for some time

I have been nothing but sad but now burning within.

A new light is born a second, none the less,

The first one was on but I was a mess.

I wish I could give you the gift I received,

The beacon that calms me when I am in need.

You came to my home and felt it there,

Yet could not describe the feel of the air.

A moment in time I wanted to share,

With you my kind friend, I feel your despair.

This light I have was a gift from above,

Things I cannot describe except with my love.

Things you may not know that would take some time,

To know what I mean, my state of mind.

I have this light that would warm your soul,

A burning within that would give you that glow.

I look in your eyes I can see,

Someone who is sad as I used to be.

To free you of this awful grim,

This light I have, this burning within.

Look into my eyes and there you will see,

The light of the maker, creator of you and me.

A moment of peace that feeling that came,

Is something for all much greater than fame.

A glory above which words can’t describe,

No physical pleasure can make one more alive.

I wish I could give you this beacon within,

For the glory you’ll receive there is no end.
