Open...shut them Open...shut them Give a little clap! Open...shut them Open...shut them Lay them in your lap. Tiny fingers once curled in mine. Precious moments pass with time.

Motherhood
I see you Your broken and jagged bits carefully hidden from view I hear you Echoes of a frightened child Each word carefully chosen I feel you Tender, gentle, hesitating This love Fragile, yet powerful Healing you Healing me.

Your eyes, from another realm Of wonder, wisdom and imagination, Grace me with their awesome presence. Seeing into my soul. Curious. Knowing. Tender longing And intense desire. I catch my breath, And feel like bursting.

Eyes
You say I am the owner of your heart. Oh no my love! Your heart is not owned by me. It is sitting happily next to my heart With its little aorta entangled in mine As we beat rhythmic kisses Back and forth.

Falling
Stop! Don’t look the phone! But I need to know the time It will make it worse! You won’t get back to sleep! But I need to know how much time left Arrrrrgh. 3am Again

Tick Tock
He has died. And the burden is heavy It makes you weary But you soldier on with grace and kindness Others could not be so They would be angry, bitter, resentful Lashing out at those closest But not you my darling An awesome mountain Constant, firm and still amidst the chaos You love. You forgive. You see the good. Always. Others are drawn to you And you listen to their pain and fear Soothing troubled hearts with your calming voice and gentle embrace You give them strength But it makes you weary I see the shadows on your face Your smile ever so slightly weakened I hear you catch your breath and sigh deeply A flicker of sadness in your beautiful, kind eyes The grief you can’t yet allow But in time. When it is meant to be so How my heart aches to see you in this moment. Come now, my darling and rest your weary head upon my shoulder. Let me wrap you up in my love
