So lightly and so softly, <br /> the touch at mornings light, <br /> so sweetly and so tenderly, <br /> the kiss that says goodnight. <br /> <br /> When the afternoon has settled, <br /> and the evening has it's start, <br /> the warmth her smile gives me, <br /> starts the fire of my heart. <br /> <br /> The nectar of her love, <br /> is like the water in my lake, <br /> whatever I may have is hers to take, <br /> ... and well she knows it. <br /> <br /> She gives as much to me, <br /> as I try to give to her, <br /> for there is nothing in this world, <br /> worth her worth. <br /> <br /> So lightly in the morning, <br /> I kiss her as she sleeps, <br /> because I like to watch her do that, <br /> sometimes it's all that I can do... <br /> ... to keep from weeping. <br /> <br /> So lightly and so softly, <br /> we get playful, but so quiet, <br /> we share so sweet and tender, <br /> our kiss that says goodnight.<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/so-lightly/
