Drawn to the Light

Snowflakes fell out uv the night --

Here, a rare and thrilling sight;

They shone like diminds by porch light.

Drawn to them, we rushed out-side.

We tried to reech into the sky

And laffed and danced with arms held high

Az snow-flakes floated evry-where,

Like little stars that kissed our hair --

Fleeting gifts which meltid cares

And left us with the joy we shared...

Sun-lit clouds and mountin peeks

Blessed us with the light we need

Az sun fell slowly out uv sight,

And silhouettes were left and right

Where mighty trees began the night...

We drove down frum the mountins

And marvelled at the city lights.

There byooty beckoned us return --

Where sparkling eyes uv Siamese cats,

Greetid us with a brite bloo flash --

And off to bed for rest well-earned,

We went to dreem uv shiny lights...

We saw the Angels' fire-wirks

Go off with each home-run.

It lit the sky and drew us near

Az we joined in the fun,

Uv 40,00 giddy fans

Uv thunder-stix and rally monkeys

While the base-ball Angels won,

This sparkling seezin in the sun --

Champs at last wen it wuz done...

We watched in fascinashin

Az we saw butter-flies galore.

There wings filled the horizon

Az they glittered in the sun,

And specks of glitter lingered

Like dust in an old store...

Eagles by the hundrids

Circled in the sky,

Gliding in celestial rings

Az sun shone on there out-stretched wings.

Below us and yet floating,

They let are spirits rize.

They danced the dance uv nachur

Above the dezert floor

Uv barren Owins valley.

Mezmerized, we watched there show.

Az we came down from the high-lands

We floated to the ground below...

The oshin waves crashed brillyint bloo

On the sandy shore,

And lit the night with awe-sum hues

That opinned nachurs' door,

So evry-won just stopped and stared,

Wunder-filled and unprepared

But grate-full for the seen we shared.

Countliss microbes showed there might,

To humin eyes, drawn to the light...

Wonce a small patayto

Wuz deep in-side a basemint

With only a small hole

Which sparkled with a glint.

It grew a long, long tendril,

Drawn to the light.

It sparked a young man's mind,

And changed the whirled with this idea;

All that lives will seek the light...

Wonce a womin nearly died--

no hartbeat; she had closed her eyes --

But she saw a brillyint light

An incandescint gift uv sight

That drew her in and made things right.

God wuz there, but back she went,

Drawn to the whirled's light

With a gift that heavin sent...

Though bright and awe-inspiring sights

Bless my life, frum time to time,

The most full-filling kind uv light

I see coming frum your eyes,

Day by day, and night by night;

In your eyes I see love's might,

Az shining through I see love's light.

Snow relieved us uv are cares,

Az countliss snow-flakes filled the air.

With grace, they floatid soft and light,

Sparkling byooty left and right.

We newlyweds laffed with delite,

In love, az snow-flakes filled are sight --

A comfy blankit, big and brite,

Which felt, thow cold, qwite warm that night.
