(84) YOU ARE THE BEST Lying alone in my bed In sleep's warm embrace, Under the soft cover of dreams, Tucked in from the real world, From cold, hard reality, I once turned my head When an angel, it seems, Appeared in its stead Fleshed out there before me. With bright loving eyes Only inches from mine, I said to her softly As I tell in this rhyme: You are the best thing That's happened to me In a very long time! You are the very best thing That's happened to me In a very...long...time. Copyright (C) 1997-2010 Michael Langston art-music-poetry.com
