A Song of Burgeoning Hope by Sharon Link

Like the air that I breathe,
Like the wind that I see,
Like the moist, ocean breeze,
You are to me.

Like the tones so clear,
Like the whisper I hear,
Like a bell in the night,
On an ocean so bright,
The waves crash the shore,
It’s you I adore.

Like a wavering sound,
On a world so round,
Like a slow moving train,
Through Paris in the rain.

Like the smell of salt air,
On a day that is fair,
Like the scent of dry sand,
Let it fall from my hand,
Like you in my heart,
To you I impart.

Like the flowers in spring,
Like the song that they sing,
Like the joy that they bring,
You are my everything.

You are my everything
My everything,
The song that I sing,
My melody sublime,
My rhythm and rhyme,
And listen so clear,
And you will soon hear,
The sound of my heart
Beating,
The sound of my heart
Beating.

Like a walk in the park,
Like feeling safe in the dark;
Like a tear that has dried,
With no sadness to hide;
Your love abounds,
In my soul surrounds;

Like a message in a bottle,
Held tight in your hand;
Revealing the world,
With every trickle of sand.

Like painting portraits of light,
In a world always night;
Like taking a stand,
On a difficult plan.

Let your light shine;
And fill human kind,
And fill human kind,
Let your light shine,
Let it shine,
Let it shine,
Let it shine so bright,
In a world always night.

Like the wind,
Like the rain,
Like the sun,
Reveal and claim,
Reveal and claim,
Reveal and claim.
