Each Day

Each day, you walk closer to me,
Every sunrise, your face is closer to mine;
Each chime of the watchtower, your hands reach for my own,
Every light of the stars, your eyes are unveiled.

Each child's laugh, your mirth rejoices,
Every playful skip, you dance a pliée;
Each city ride, your house is ahead,
Every country path, your fields drip with perfume.

Each morning's croissants, your breakfast with me,
Every evening kitchen, your dinner and mine;
Each embracing couple, your arms surround,
Every tearful goodbye, and I need you again.
