i know you to be
strong
faith-full
loving
musical.
but you look at me
from the past
and i wonder
who that
woman was.
you seem
mysterious
shy
beguiling
soft.
did you know
then who you
would become?
did you have
dreams of
doctor
pastor
engineer
teacher
denied to you
because of the
circumstance of
your birth?
or did you look
towards the future
with a surety
knowing
motherhood
sunday school teacher
cook
wife
were the fulfillment
or your dreams?
your heart is
my heart
your eyes are
my eyes
your hands are
my hands.
together
we have it
all.

only love
if i could, i would
ease the melancholic
nightmares
that haunt your
mind.
if i could, i would
battle the
horrors
that bite at your
heels like starving
piranha.
if i could, i would
carry you away
to the land of
manna
and shelter you
from the unbearable.
if i could, i would
provide you with
water
that would douse
the fire burning
your soul.
if i could, i would
shoulder
it all.
but i can’t. my
superpower is not
flight or safety
or strength of arm or
providence.
it is only
love.
