What I see in You
This precious little girl, with big brown eyes
This gentle hearted lady, with such a tender touch
This beautiful woman who deserves more than lies
This love of mine that I need so much
All of this and so much more
That’s what I see in you
You fill my heart with love
More than I ever knew
This is what I feel, and
What I see in you
What I see in you
May be something only I can see
Because, what I see in you
Is the love you have for me.
I love you Steve ©1998
written for my wife Tammie shortly after we became engaged.
I Have Yet to Write
Just the other day
while watching T.V.
With that little girl look
you curled your lips and said to me,
“You don’t write me poems anymore”
Well I haven’t written anything
I really haven’t tried
Honey, you should know how
I feel about you,
And the love I have inside
You’re my first thought in the morning
and my last before I sleep,
And every moment we spend together,
In my memories I’ll keep
and every time you say “ I love You and ever time you hold me tight,
Is another, unwritten poem , that
I have yet to write.

Rolls Royce
I’ve worked my fingers to the bone
I make a living, I guess I get along
I just can’t help feeling
I got a Rolls Royce, coming on.
I ‘ll take a headline, over being unknown
even the back page, of the Rolling Stone
and I just can’t help but feel
that Rolls Royce coming on.
I’ll have a limo, a chauffeur driver too
be making records, sell them all to you
Just hoping that it won’t be to long
that Rolls Royce coming on.
