Reunion

I came to you on enfeebled feet Heavy of heart downcast in eyes. And, in a flash, you lifted me Into your arms and high in the air: The joy, the euphoria of those who dare. In a flash the earth and cares are gone We soar high, the clouds waft us on. With you by my side, a new lease of life In my boyish hands long, long ago I had held a squirming dove this way. Those were years, so sure of life Unready for shocks, unmindful of pain I braved the world, its stress and strife No friend in sight, my struggle in vain. I felt your presence, the comfort it was In your sad eyes the solace I sought I was so fragile, I would bear no loss. I am back in stride euphoric in thought. I hold high my head, my heart feels younger We have hopes to build, hearts to conquer.
