This Passing Glance

Love knows the past

in memories clear

the greater the distance

the more love draws near

Through time with hope

a will to share

in the joy of its presence 

and the gifts it will bear

Peer into my soul

in this passing glance

here life will be music

and love be its dance

Rise Above

I am from the grace of love

the gift of life I hold

I bring the truth between the words

in each the stories told

I am light that carries hope

to shadow fear away

I glisten wonder from the stars

or sunshine on this day

I am bold and powerful

still fragile gifts I bear

with numbers yet to count the ways

our love was made to share

I am you and we are one

in each as born from love

these wings will hold the gift until

we're free to rise above
