elated spirit thrashing me afresh
blubber with joy by the
shout of your fragile quest
unconscious angelic face
now laying beside me
in total awe
i struggle to hold you
painful movement,
my tears couldn’t hide
those little cry bearing
my life
holding me through
a moment of ache
but what a wonderful ache
i wouldn’t mind
going through it
all over again
just to have you
wipes away all the pain
