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.
