YOUR CUP

I took
A sip
Of your love
Found it
warm exhilarating
I could not walk
Could not move
I became lightheaded
Unsteady unsure
Intoxicated with
Your kiss
With your touch
Frozen by
Your smile
I reached
For another sip
But your cup
Was empty
And you were GONE.

MY PRAYER

Protect all those 
That we love 
And hold dear
Help us to overcome 
The sum of our fears.
Behind every cloud 
There is a silver lining 
Teach us the way
And to appreciate  
how to find it.
May we realize 
That good times 
They don't always last
And may our tomorrows 
Be better than days past
Amen.

WHEN

When the stars
Fall from the sky
When newborn babies 
Cease to cry
When snowstorms 
Come in July 
When mockingbirds
No longer ask why 
When all tears
Miraculously dry
When no one will 
Or even try
...Maybe then i'll stop loving you!
