You make my heart sing
songs of joy, gladness and bliss –
on this day of love.

You make my heart sing
songs of joy, gladness and bliss –
on this day of love.
Golden orbs of light,
petals shining like sunbeams –
warm my weary heart.
My heart sees the world
full of darkness, pain and grief –
longing for healing.
A haiku for the first day of National Poetry month
Streams of water flow
I watch in grateful silence,
praying with my heart.
