You allow my eyes to meet Yours
and it is mirrored there,
i feel it in Your touch
Your fingers in my hair
i see it in Your smile
as i lower my eyes
the quiet confidence of love is undisguised

i lean toward You
my lips part in eager anticipation
as You pour Your love into me,
i feel the assimilation
Your cells becoming mine
two lives intertwined
in the quiet confidence of love

As we lie together,
You thrust Your power deep inside
every movement, every moment
holding me in place
yet filling me with pride
Serenity is mine
through the quiet confidence of love.

Only a bump in the road.
Is that all he was to you, Momma?
Don’t you remember how eager you were
To hold him that very first time.
Is that all there is, Momma?
Was I that way too?
A bump in the road to you?

Life is a road that’s filled with bumps
Of trials and tribulation.
But we all want the time
To get over the humps.
To face the aggravation.
To raise our arms in victory.
To load our own artillery.
To find the way it was meant to be.

Didn’t you want that, too, Momma?
Or was it different for you?

she would live in your shadow
let it shield her from the sun’s glaring light.
let it wrap her in the darkness of the night
as she lies in the hollow of your shoulder
wanting nothing more than you to hold her
as she lives in your shadow.

she would bask in your brilliance.
let her warmth come from the fire in your eyes.
let the light of your love guide her, mesmerized
as she moves to the heat you generate
wanting only the touch that you can create
as she basks in your brilliance.
