I made a deal with forever
And all I had to do is love you
Where loving you Sharon
Is all I really wanted to do
And what’s the payoff?
What’s in it for me?
Your smile in the core of my heart
For all eternity
Even though I’ve not seen you
In nearly fifty years
Your smile within my heart
My life’s driving gears
Wandering through life
Without you here by my side
I’ve often asked God
Of the reasons why
Some would say it’s sad
To live my life this way
But they never knew you
And didn’t see your smile that day
But I don’t complain
Of why you went away
All I know is since you left
I’ve missed you everyday
Should our eyes ever meet again
Your smile is all I seek
And at no cost to you
My heart you’ll always keep
For you’re the sunrise in my heart
The poet within my soul
I told you I’d always love you
Loving you, my forever goal
