Well then, here's one I wrote myself:

You Are

I see the sun rise in the East
And I thank you
I hear a thousand birds
Singing out your name
All I am
And all I have
Was given me by you
My Life, my Love, my Everything

With each new breath I think of you
And I remember
I see your face in all the fabric
Of the World
All that is
And all that shall be
Held in your embrace
My Life, my Love my Everything

You are the hands of individual creation
You are the silent witness of the raging sea
You are the vision that gave birth to every
nation
You are the love that lives beyond eternity

I watch the passing of the parade
Of pomp and circumstance
And am not touched nor drawn away
From the life within
I am you
And you are me
And evermore shall be
My Life, my Love, my Everything

I slip away, lost in the mirror of mortality
But I return to find you there within my
heart
You are still
And you endure
When all else falls away
My Life, my Love, my everything

You are the hands of individual creation
You are the silent witness of the raging sea
You are the vision that gave birth to every
nation
You are the love that lives beyond eternity

This play will end, and when it's done
We'll have a curtain call
And take a bow, and then, my friend
We'll go back home
Home to the heart
That stood apart
But never far away
My Life, my Love, my Everything

And we can laugh, and we can live
Beyond the hands of time
And walk the hills and stand together
In the sun
I am yours
You are mine
And you are all that is
My Life, my Love, my Everything

You are the hands of individual creation
You are the silent witness of the raging sea
You are the hidden heart that beats in every
nation
You are the love that lives beyond eternity
