And I Am

And I Am

Intimate feelings surround my soul.
I see your face in my memories.
Though the memories are few,
they give me life
and bright
and I live.

Tender emotions fill my heart.
I hear your voice with every beat.
Though the words are soft,
they give me strength
and surety
and I love.

Gentle notions enchant my mind.
I feel your spirit with every thought.
Though the spirit is mild,
it gives me purpose
and reason
and I am.
