Diana:
You fill our hearts and you fill our mind,
through-out the sands of time.
When we are weak
you are strong,
you make us feel
there is nothing wrong.
I think of you
in the day,
when I am away.
When I come back
to my house,
I go out side
as quite as a mouse.
Not to be seen,
not to be heard,
as I praise with my words.
Though its late
I do not care,
for its the darkness
that we share.
You fill my mind
like a stream
with the knowledge
that is unseen.
You are my comfort
in my dreams,
You are my strength while I am awake.
It is Joy
that you give.
but to be coy
is how we live.
Those who seek you
they will find.
