Early Morning

Early Morning

I wrap myself around your
Sleeping body
As familiar to me now
As is my own
No cares can take me when
I have you near me
You are the greatest love
I've ever known

We never even dreamt that
When we started
This journey would require
Such strong resolve
To carry us through times
Of unmatched sorrows
Or the ways our love would
Strengthen and evolve

Now, lying in the calm of
Early morning
I wrap myself around you
Once again
I revel in the happiness
I've found here
The joy of living life
With my best friend

A Parents Love

The love you feel
When your child is born
The depth of emotion there
Is inexplicable, inescapable
Undeniable, indescribable
There's nothing to compare
There's no way to prepare

You're willing to do battle
For someone you just met
The feeling is stunning
Overwhelming, enlightening
No longer will you
Ever think just of you
This is as real as it gets

So many have tried
To tell you
The magical feelings of
Seeing that being
Become real and breathing
Amazing, life changing
That undying feeling of love

The Right Questions

Who could have guessed it would get so
Complicated
What happened to all our plans
When did it all get away from us
Where did we think it would take us
How did we end up here

We had all the right questions
The ones they taught us to ask in school
Who, what, when, where and how
They didn't tell us
perhaps they knew we wouldn't believe
Life has its own answers

Who could have made us listen
What would have changed our minds
When were we willing to see
Where would we have ended up
How could we have known

Life would have its own answers
and Why matters not at all
