Your Love, My Hope

Make little angel smile
As you embrace me, 
Against the mortal enemy, 
Trapped inside my body;

With her, share your time 
For mine’s lost under a brutal 
Silence of white linen;

Paint my portrait before her eyes,
If one day, I succumb to eternity;
But for now, lift my trampled heart, 
With your touch of love, my hope.
