How Sweet
How sweet to end any day
upon a pillow
near to a lover's head
where friendship
and passion are shared
and the worries
of the day are shed
as night beckons, "Come, rest"
no matter if the day
has been the worst or the best
How sweet the dawn
when bodies lay
side by side, warm, loving
to greet together
the coming of the day
reinforcing each the other
liking and loving
the world does not care
but two lives now intertwined
together burdens will bear
with love and prayer
making sweet the precious day.
