you two


You hold my heart,
you two,
in your bitty, sticky fingers.

You hold my dreams,
you two,
about the future - for the present doesn't linger.


You make me laugh,
you two,
until my heart can hold no more.

You make me weep,
you two,
over sleepless nights and fits galore.


You show me beauty,
you two,
by coos and whispers and kisses.

You show me meaning,
you two.
What is life? Why, this is:

Sugar and spice
and everything nice...

Hugs and talks,
short or long walks...

Smiles and tears,
Silly faces in mirrors...

Who loves you,
you two?

'Dis Mama do.
