Let me be aware of the treasure you are.
Let me learn from you,
Love you
Bless you before you depart.
Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and
perfect tomorrow.
Let me hold you while I may,
for it may not always be so.
One day I shall dig my nails into the earth
or bury my face in the pillow
or stretch myself taut
or raise my hands to the sky
and want
more than all the world
your return.
