Six Months

For Patty--Feb. 7, 2001

What words can you say
To the one, the only one
Who could repaint your world
Ensnare you with a smile
Provide the light that restores vision
The love that restores faith
What words can you say
To the one, the only one
Who could rescue you from despair
Open a portal to the future
Pump life through your veins
And feed a cold parched heart
What words can you say
To say what no words can
To lend ecstasy to prose
Animation to emotion
The dreams that never end
The reality that blossoms
I cannot find these words
But I know you can
Look into my eyes, my love
Keep your place within my heart
You're the one, the only one
Who can see, can feel
The words I cannot say
