That Certain Look
I lay here quietly
and watch you sleep.

The light from the window
shines on your cheeks.

That look on your face
makes me want you for keeps.

This love we share
comes from the ocean deep.

I think of the reasons
why I love you most.

You pour out your love
in an endless dose.

All I have to think of
is our wedding toast,

and I know that our lives
will be forever close.

You protect me endlessly
keeping me under your wing.

The happiest moment of my life
was when you slid on my ring.

Still, when you are away
my heart sputters and pings,

exactly like it did when our wedding bells
just seemed to sing.

One thing I hope
you will forever know,

is the way my heart melts
when you look at me so.

I get all fluttery
in a childishly shy kind of show.

That Certain Look,
makes my happy heart glow!
