I feel a warm soft spring breeze on my face
                                            and I think of you.
I think of your voice, as soft as the breeze,
                                    as soft as a babies sigh,
   and the warmth of your breath on my face
                                     when I'm close to you.
                                                          And I smile.
I see the intricate fragil beauty of a snowflake from
          a late winter snow as it falls on a spring flower
               bursting from the ground and I think of you.
I think of the fragil beauty that bursts before my eyes
                          when I see you suddenly before me.
                                                         And I smile.
I see the gentle touch of a butterfly as it lands on a
                                              leaf and I think of you.
I think of the gentle touch of your hand when I hold it
       in mine for a fleeting moment of friendly affection.
                                                          And I smile.
I think of these things and it reminds me of your
    sweet gentle ways, your kindness, your graceful                                                                            beauty,
                                                         And I smile.
I see the wonder of a child when it experiences                                                                      something
   new and exciting and I think of the wonder of you.
                                                         And I smile.
