After Five

I woke this morning, a little after five;

Thinking and wondering and worrying

And wanting you to be alive

And well, and seeing the new breeze

On the the air, as it brings thoughts

Of forgiveness, and keeping the heart straight,

With feelings that seem old-in-days, and young

In spirit, calm in giving, yet firm in forever.

Your heart is big, my eyes weak with need for sleep,

All the while, wanting so desperately, the best

For you.
