and the only.....
.........softly held day
has come

the tiny child is still the same one
as always

she opens wide
her heart her soul her body

and you are here
with me

necessarily it is the day
that we carry

necessarily the child
keeps calling our names

and right out loud

we know what and who we are
and see completely
the whole story

and know exactly what we are
called upon to do

but
by the time anyone
thinks to start......
........it'll all be over

we cudda been...lovers!
we shudda been........lovers!

and right out loud!

and we better start loving

RIGHT NOW
