Dearly Beloved

Dearly Beloved



The hands that cradle and rock little lambs to sheep

With you 
The sky is blue 
The grass is green

With you, the sun shines in the nighttime 


You can say nothing at all
Yet I’m in  awe

I bleed for you 
I breathe for your love
Your tears break my heart
I fall apart 

When my head is wild with grays
I want to see your face
And feel the warmth of your embrace
 
I need you now ever than before  

A firm yet gentle hold of your hand 
Gives me assurance that you 
will never be too far behind

I’ve cherished those moments 
You rocking me 
Like a lost soul redeemed

So scared to let go
But it’s your time 
I cannot keep you alive

I’ve rarely said this
But I love you 
And all that you do
To show me that you do, too

You whose hands 
Washed my face 
Cloth diaper and sanitary napkin
When my head is wild with grays
I want to see your face

At once I was lacking
Yet I conquered all 
With your love 
And the sky above 

Hold on, they told me
Be strong
If not for you, for her that begotten you
There’s no place I’d rather be 
Than under the shield of your safety 

With my sunshine 
The rain subsides 

You rescue me 
When I needed saving 

If I am of no use
Others can dispute
But with you ,there’s an excuse 

Gravity keeps us centered in love 

Butterflies
Ocean pearls
And unicorns
Fill our minds

We’re both women and girls in our own way
And twins sisters from different worlds
Life has burdened us with more than 
we could ever carry
But we managed to get away
And find our place on the table 

My red rose 
My budding bloom
My sweet perfume
My forever womb
