I Wish I Could Loosen
I wish I could loosen
The wimple life has placed
So tightly round your heart.
That these too old tired hands
Could fiercely fight the foe
Who hastens your retreat,
That amid your exit
Your eyes could somehow see
That I in age do stand
And feebly cry that I
Do love as none before.
This is beautiful....I love the language and emotion expressed in this piece. As always, evoking feelings and images to the reader in a universal way. Excellent!
Absolutely lovely. Poignant and sad...
