I Yearn for you

by K. Duane Carter
(Florence, AL)

As the ocean yearns to reach the shore
So I yearn to reach to you.
As the moonlight softly touches earth
So I so softly reach to you.
As the sunlight warms the lonely soil
So your smile does help me glow.
As the wind whispers secrets through waving arms
So your heartbeat I do know.

As the stars appear on quiet nights
So I will appear to you.
As the rosebud bursts to sudden bloom
So my love does grow for you.
As the bird’s songs rise into the sky
So my heart does sing a song
As I see you and know you every day
So there my love for you grows strong.
