I Wonder, How Are You?
As I open my eyes at early dawn
Soft sun light streaming through the naked limbs of the old oak
Filter through laced-curtains hung even though its winter
To let in the light by day or the light of a moonlit night
I greet our Maker at first then my thoughts run straight to you
And I wonder how are you? Are you well? Are you awake?
Did they give you a warm blanket last night,
One of the coldest days of winter?
What did they feed you for supper?
Did you stay up ‘till 2:00 as you usually do?
As I go through my day I feel your love trailing me
As I move from one place to another
Embracing, teasing me, imploring, “Come sit awhile with me”
Did you feel my warmth in the letter I wrote?
D'ya notice, I tried to outdo you! You wrote twelve compared to fifteen!?
I need to tell you everyday how much I love you, just as you are
That I thank you for being there for me with encouraging
Words, holding me, loving me, lifting me, accepting me
Just as I am, needing me as I need you, believing undoubtedly
Our long search is over, we have finally arrived
To: My Love, JAM, a gem that is entangled, buried deep in a world not of his making
From: His peanut butter, Sunshine*
