In times gone by, there have existed people
who have made us churtle with laughter.
who drew us out of our shyness, from behind
the curtain and surreptitiously stole our smile.
we didn't love them for any purpose or conceit,
but we gave them significance.
we made Them
important,
while they were nothing before.
they lay in our arms, ate from our hands,
and when their stomachs were filled,
they left for more bountiful bosoms.
