Marital Missbliss

what can i do 
to bring you nearer
is it as simple as a red rose
or as hard as crying real tears

so many things i do go unread
and the loving part of your soul
goes unfed
but in my daily tribute to you
some things i do 
just because i love you

dreaming of you may not be much
but in my dreams my magic 
is your touch
the hug and kiss you give
they're the things that make me live

and in my prayers just to live 
for another day
you are the cause 
and the reason i pray

when i rise and go to work 
there is no toil or going berserk
during my day i think of you
and before i know it my day is through

everyday that i come home
i thank the Lord that you are home
you may not hear my silent prayer
but believe me dearest they are there

my pockets maybe empty 
and my hair might be uncombed
but believe in me darling 
and i'll never leave you alone

my love for you might go unseen
but believe me when i say
you are my everything
