this is why you pray for a long life
god willing
in order to live days like these:
you hold me as I sleep
although the sun is high
and beckons you to other biddings
you stay
and other days of course:
you with your grandiose missives
and I with mine
high and mighty with
purpose - for a time -
as we stride and strive
towards that which seems
oh so important
and probably is
but more for days like these:
whether you take my hand into waking
with coffee and a poem
or kiss me back to sleep, mercy
you are by my side
god willing
you are why I pray for a long life
