Awake My Love

take my hand a bird is singing
golden touch of light is ringing
morning breathes above the sea
promise kept for you and me

gentle wind is slowly lifting
misty cloud a veil uplifting
voices rise into the day
give response to what they say

strive to serve to love the living
gift on gift enhance the giving
whisper softly in my ear
precious words I need to hear -

now evening rain is softly falling
kissing both our love and loving
