This day,
This day will perish too

But hopefully,
hopefully today
you grew

Water me,
water me
I'm a seed
in the sun

Tomorrow
is evidence that
my growing
will never
be done

If I gave you my soul,
would you read each page?
Scribble notes of interest
and know me.
Would you take the time,
to help tape the seams?
Would you mend,
the fragility of my soul?
It tears and rips,
easily, emotionally.

Treat your body like a temple,
You will grow and not age,
Let the spirit of God reside in your heart,
Wisdom and knowledge will be your fountain.

Tear stained pages
Tear stained pillows
The legacy of my love for you.

lord
sooner or later
we
learn
how to breathe
your
sweet light
where
we
paint
our
dreams at night

Time
the illusive
forget it
then it's no longer obtrusive

I reserve the right
to observe the birds
at night
who perturbed
take flight
to find
a better place
to wait and play
safely living
their life
each proceeding
day.
