" Memorizing You "

As you lay sleeping, I follow the line of your profile
And in the shape of your dreaming restfulness
I spy the happiness in the subtle shape of your smile
And I wish to myself that you'll stay more
Than just a little while
And as I drink in the way your hair falls
So perfectly, so as to outline your angelic face
I memorize the magical moment my heart calls
To the quiet movement in your grace
The way I see you in the daylight
Is highlighted
By the way the bedroom pillows
Comfort you each night
And tuck you into my memory
Where I can vividly visit you
Anytime I'd like...
