Whenever I hold you
in my arms to put you
down to rest,
your eyes
so big and beautiful
make me laugh
and then a warm
air of quiet
solitude creeps in
It settles in
and then a rushing
fills my heart
so quickly
a joy I’ve never known
a swelling so profound
I feel as though it will
explode
But no–
It won’t.
My heart will just get
bigger
and
bigger
and
bigger
until my whole
universe is filled
with
love–
