New Beginnings

As I touched your skin,

The warmth of your glow,

How soft your first touch is,

Your love is mine.

Your voice called to me,

As I ran to you,

My hand touched your soul,

Made me tremble with fear.

Your sky blue eyes warmed my heart,

With the soft touch of your hand,

Happiness grew within me,

Happiness is being with you.

As I saw your warm smile,

I felt peace,

And love,

And serenity.

Happiness is the night turning into day,

The stars disappearing into the light of the sun,

A new beginning,

A new baby.
