'in Our Time'
Like a baby taking his first steps
Those tentative ones
You walked in, delved into depths
Unaware of the hurt, the hidden scars
Placing your heart on the line,
With no fear, what joy or sadness lay ahead
My wings,
The forgetful ones, the ones who forgot
What it felt like to fly, you nurtured them,
Like liniment
In your own time, never rushed
As if it was your mission in life
To ease the pain, deep within
With love,
Moments of not saying a word,
Just being there,
Listening
Wiping the tears away, if they would trickle down
Like liniment
In your own time, never rushed
As if it was your mission in life
To ease the pain, deep within
No trepidation
Those forgetful wings
They soar, with your love
Like liniment
We did it in our own time…
