When I Hear Your Call

When I hear your call
My heart skips a beat
My mind thinks of all the things
I love about you
Oh, so sweet. 

When you had to go away
My days were grim
My heart was sad
How
My eyes did cry. 

Now again 
I can hear your voice
Taste your lips and behold you
With my eyes. 

My world is right
I’m loved
I’ll go thru the day
Without a sad or lonely cry.

My Heart Does Sing

My heart does sing
A song so pretty
Blossoms bloom 
Grass grows
And
Birds sing 

For the song
Sung
Doesn’t weep
but reaches, holds up with strength
All that’s needed  

To keep the earth whole
Skies blue
Stars shining 
And
Waters running 

For they too
Sing
Such a lovely song
Of grace, beauty  
And
Sincere gratitude.
