The summer rain will be the heart
that refreshes and renews
and gives the child within
a chance to run and play
and to revel in the freedom to dream
The wind will be the passion,
sometimes cool in its caress
while able to invigorate the senses,
and sometimes wild as the waves
that sweep across the sandy beach
The sun will warm the soul
with a loving touch that speaks of home
and all the comforts offered there,
as well as the nurturing shelter
to always be whom you are
Stars and rainbows will light your way,
showering you with peace
in moments of challenging need,
and butterflies will touch you softly
to share their gentle beauty
If it was possible to speak the depth
of the love I feel for you
I would tell you these things
and they would weave their music
through your heart, passion, and soul
But sometimes love's intensity
goes far beyond mere words,
and the only way to express it
is to send it flowing from my heart to yours
