Each new day my treasured thoughts you lay claim As minutes stretch and I search for patience Restlessness arrives and your love I blame As it calls to my heart with reverence Nothing collides with the world but you As time becomes much harder to replace This love shared without hesitation is new Soon to pour into a river of grace To hold this moment without care or thought And keep it close as a gift now treasured In love's place of rest, neither bought nor sought The love within our eyes is not measured As two follow the course of love's strong stream They leave the old world for one with a dream 2/26/21
