The Sparkle in Her Eyes...

There's a color
that isn't a color.
It's so much more than that.
It's so much more
I'm not even sure
I can describe it
as color.

When I stand close to you...
I can see it.
I've spotted it
from across the room,
whenever you see me enter.

I've seen it
when I've made you laugh.
I've even seen it
when you found yourself...
playful.
I've caught it
looking up from where my mind
was keeping me busy...
and glanced to see you looking.

It delights me.
It makes my chest warm,
and my throat tighter.
To know that is for me,
about me...
because of us.

The light catching
in your eyes just right.
It doesn't have to be moonlight,
or candlelight...
or even the light from the fire...
the radiance of that sparkle
illuminates me...
and gives me such a joy,
that makes me understand
what real love must be.

Thank you...
and thank God for
the sparkle in your eye.
