BABE

 

 

Come on babe

Let’s build on this moment

Holding hands

And slow dancing

A kiss under the summer trees

Let’s build together

An eternity

From this moment

 

Gowns of white

Painful gasps of breath

From a smiling face

Tiny voices

Crying for comfort

In the middle of the night

Stealing quiet moments

When we can

 

The nest long empty

Weekends full

Of laughter and joyous tears

Long drives

To see new faces

Wide grins and missing teeth

Skinned knees

Tiny hands holding tight

 

Painful gasps

Drawn through clenched teeth

Soft hands

Providing comfort and strength

Misty eyes

Spoke volumes

Come on babe

Help us build

On this moment

An eternity
