THE ANTHEM OF MY SOUL

Never before have I seen 
The sun in all its brightness, 
The moon in all it glory, 
And the dazzling beauty 
Of the starry host, 
All at the same time..
Until I looked into your eyes.

The most beautiful of roses, 
Orchids, daffodils, and lilies,
Are all humbled by your presence.

You are heaven’s finest creation 
The gift that brightens the soul,
Make merry the heart, 
And captures the processes of the mind.

You are the anthem 
Of my soul.

Wilford Barker.
