Hovering over that loving smile,
I could see a gossamer veil.
It becomes overwhelmed
by your radiance,
yet sometimes it just shows.
A thin shroud in the hue of indigo
and a blue lace as its trim.
Hovering over that loving smile
is an overwhelming lie.
I know that you are enfeebled---
because of I.
Because you see the beauty
within my faults
and my weary soul.
I know that I could never repay
the overwhelming debt
I've placed upon you.
You wear the veil of deceit
not because you want to.
You wear that piece of fabric
just to show us that we're strong
and you love us deeply.

Hovering over that loving smile,

A thin shroud in the hue of indigo

Hovering over that loving smile
is an overwhelming lie.
I know that you are enfeebled---

Because you see the beauty

I know that I could never repay

You wear the veil of deceit
not because you want to.
You wear that piece of fabric
just to show us that we're strong
and you love us deeply.
For all the single moms out there. :)
