3. To See You Happy
To see you happy is all
that I desire. to
wrap the world in ribbons
and bows for your
unwrapping that you might
smile and know the
world is not the horor show
you sometimes think it is
And this, this is my blessing: to dine
with you whenever possible
in some small cafe conversing
quietly of the day's
fastidious events, never surmising
tomorrow's fate may rend
us mute with unexpected sorrow
as a back drop to our love
