take care

painting by me

take care, my love,

for all the glances from me to you in soft dark corners of our bed

for all the times you were afraid and i did laugh 

because nothing could have happened while i was still there

for all the sighs i've heard watching you sleep

for all the betimes moments i coated your feet not to catch cold

for all your expectations story-told to me in perfect midnight silence

for all the sunshines of the sunrise

and all the stars hung hard-by the moon

for all the days to come and hopes of days to be

for all the days past and memories bygone

for my sake at least if that matters

or for the sake of our child in that gentle dreaming time we had

for all the voices in the world just so you can hear me!

take care, my love,

good care of you...
