Thoughts of Alice


Thoughts of Alice

It's the little things that float into my thoughts.
The smell on the breeze of cookies baking
The sight of geese on the wing up above.
The wisp of bird-song in the early morning.

The sight of a blood red rose
Peeking out of an empty lot.
The coo of a tiny baby
to it's mother as they pass.
The touch of a warm breeze
After a long stretch of cold.

All the things I see.
Everywhere I go.
In every passing face
In summer sun and winter snow
All things bring my soul back to your warmth and love.

In the times of my life when there's trouble and strife.
When all things just seem to go astray.
Just the picture of you in my mind.
Make them all drift softly away.

You are my strength, my grounding rod,
My lighthouse on the shore.
You are my life, You are my love,
And will be forever more.

All the things I see.
Everywhere I go.
In every passing face
In summer sun and winter snow
All things bring my soul back to your warmth and love.
