Starting Today 

Starting today, and each day thereafter

I will remind myself how important it is

That I reach out and touch you

Gently, of course, first with my fingers

Next with my eyes, so I see if my love

And yours reflect on to the other

And finally with my words,

Sweet whispers for you alone

Because I don’t want to miss feeling you

In any way ever again

Starting today and each day thereafter 

Starting today, and each day thereafter

I will remind myself how important it is

That I define my love for you

Boldly, of course, first with my body

Next with my mind, as it seeks

To communicate the depth of my feelings

And, most importantly with my heart

Which now beats only for God and for you

Because I don’t want to miss loving you

In any way ever again

Starting today, and each day thereafter
