Love(ingly)
It begins with love.
Soft touch, warm words, close embrace,
A cry splits the night.
Wobbly feet, shaking,
Stutter speech, cry of angels,
Gentle assurance.
Teacher reprimands,
Laughter of children joyful,
Playground dust trampled.
Rainbow caressing,
Music, lights, shining on skin,
Paradise of sin.
It ends with love, true.
Strong is the scent of family home,
Still of heart beckons.
