Ode to Stephanie

She is my sunshine
The sweet smell on the breeze
She is my blue skies
The leaves on the trees

She's all the colors of the rainbow
The sound of the babbling creek
The purity of fresh fallen snow
The view from a mountain's peak

She's the life giving warmth of the sun
the moon that brightens the night
The graceful gazelle on the run
The majestic eagle in flight

She's the sound of a laughing child
The feel of the sand in my toes
The spirit of the wolf in the wild
The nurturing river that flows

She's the sparkle of the stars
She's the melody in every song
The wonder of Venus and Mars
The courage that makes a man strong

She's the singing of birds in concert
The flowers that bloom in the spring
The taste of the sweetest desert
She makes a man feel like a king

She's the light in an old man’s eyes
when he speaks of his peaks in life
She's the joy in every surprise
The love of a man for his wife

She's all that is sacred and true
She is truly the last of her breed
Like a child I see the world new
She's everything that I need

She's the passion that ignites my fire
The juice of a perfect ripe peach
She's the essence of all I desire
The place that alone I can't reach

She's the smile on my face
She's all the beauty of my world
She's my eternal state of grace
The best of what makes life good

She loves me and so I am blessed
And for her love I will do all I can
She's my inspiration to be all my best
She is my Woman and I am her man
