Soon you
Will awake
And rub
Sleep from
Your eyes
And turn
To me
With that
Fresh morning
Smile dragging
Yourself away
And returning
With cups
Of coffee
A dash
Of cream
For me
And more
Sugar and
Cream than
Coffee for
You and
We will
Plan the
Rest of
Our lives
Sometimes I
Run out
Of words
Yet you
Listen to
My silence
Knowing that
Somewhere in
There they
Will come
As the
Spring follows
Winter and
Night follows
Day you
Stay with
Me there
In that
Uncomfortable place
Knowing that
I will
Always come
Right back
To you
And sometimes
We meet
Somebody’s any
Body’s and
Then we
Meet the
Only one’s
And if
We’re really
Lucky the
One but
Sometimes the
Only one’s
And the
One take
Flight on
Their own
Paths and
Upon looking
Skyward we
See them
Pass thinking
I’ve only
Ever wanted
You to
Be happy
And there
I stand
In the
Wood broad
And leafy
And every
Day you
Come and
Tap my
Trunk pulling
Essence from
Me one
Day I
Looked down
And asked
Why do
You take
From me
Looking up
Shading your
Eyes You
Replied because
You have
So much
To give
Go and
Be by
Yourself listen
To birds
Feel wind
And doze
Don’t think
Of me
Or anyone
Let go
And drift
Off and
Dream of
Happy things
And when
You awake
We’ll all
Be right
Where we’ve
Always been
Right there
Close to
Your heart
