This Is Who You Are to Me
by Roberto

In my ocean, you are a dolphin
I watch your joy and want to follow you

In my grassy field, you are a wild flower
You add perfection to God’s creation

In my galaxy you are a shooting star
You are a gift in the midst of wonder

In my heart
You are the blood that keeps me alive
You are the pounding that gives me reason to live

You give me hope

In my grassy field, you are a ____________________________ (willow  tree, pond, flower, ???)

In my  _____________________________________________ (autobiography, heart,  ???)

You are my world.
