I have developed a terrible disease
With the greatest of ease
Life feels so very deplorable
And is made adorable
By the sound of your gentle voice
Months ago I made a sincere choice
To take all of this new love
The man sent me from above
My work was a terrible standstill
With all your charm and kind skills
Gave me a reason to be
The change is very easy to see
This is a wonderful rare disease
Loving you with the greatest of ease
You are my light for all to see
Always it will continue to grow.

Nightfall

When I go to sleep
Sometimes I really have to weep
The pain seems to intensify
Maybe I just magnify
Laying full awake for hours
Cannot even smell the flowers
But when I think of you
And the good times too
Happiness you have brought me
Opennes plain to see
Cannot be measured
But is definitely treasured

Obligated

Be early to rise
Watch my size
Try not to be loud
Make you very proud
Be as neat as a pin
Try not to sigh
Be as truthful
And as dutiful
Because we all need
To do a good deed.
