DAWN TO DUSK


 I say good night to you, my love and then 
 I dream of you,

 Until another day arrives and life begins anew.

 I say good morning in the dawn and greet you with 
 A smile,
 Too thank you for the many ways you make the world 
 Worthwhile.

 Your ever soft and soothing words that calm my wildest 
 Fears,

 Your fond, forgiving nature when I bring you only tears.


 The happy songs you sing to me with courage in your 
 Heart,

 And your endearing letters when we have to be apart.


 You are my hope and vision and my faithful, guiding light,


 In every bright good morning, love, and every sweet good 
 Night.
