Nother Damn Poem
Tonight, when tiredness seeks you out and finds you,
I will reach for you,
fold you in my arms tenderly,
and tuck you in close.
We can laugh about it all, now.
If your shoulders ache,
and your neck is stiff I will caress them lightly
so carefully you will not notice
when the pain leaves.
If there are tears, I will brush them away
and take them to God
to exchange for blessings..
I will pray over you, warm you with love
and heal you with the gentleness you deserve.
When sleep comes, I will guard it like a jealous child...
if the wind howls and the night thunders, I will cover your ears
so you dream undisturbed.
If you startle awake, I will comfort you,
kiss your lips,
your eyelids,
your forehead,
until I feel you relax against me again,
your heartbeat next to mine.
Dawn will find you younger
than the night before.
