Eternal Love or Fleeting Burns?
You say you’ll love her till the day you die
But when she feels unwanted and broken inside
Will you hold her and tell her she’s enough
When she’s tired of pretending to be tough
Will you love her when she’s a mess
Her hair in a bun, her face not at its best
When she is cranky, mean and sour
Will you make her laugh for an hour?
When she wears funky socks on her feet
Will you love her when she isn’t neat?
And when she wants peace and quiet
Will you love her in the deafening silence?
When her hands tremble and shake with anxiety
When she’s being tormented by society
Will you stand with her, in the loud mess
Will you love her when she’s deep in distress?
When her skin becomes wrinkled and dry
And her joints crack and groan with a sigh
Will you help her rest, relax and heal
Will you love her even when you have to kneel?
