Thank You

I'm but an instant, a fleeting spark in this timeline How did we make it on to this same polaroid picture baby? Now you've taken. You've kept my years Wouldn't change it Yes. I give them gladly in exchange for your love Sometimes it's easy and other times it tests us We all carry the weight of our past. Our successes and failures Through it all, this much we've learned Not to push beyond them The unseen lines where it starts to hurt Evading the pain In the middle of the book of "us" we drew them upon your womb. These tiny flowers You gave life Witness to your magic and their light A new part of you. Now a part of me Sometimes it's easy and other times it tests us We all carry the weight of our past. Our successes and failures Through it all, this much we've learned Not to push beyond them The unseen lines where it starts to hurt Evading the pain We're but an instant, a fleeting spark in this timeline The dice of destiny have clearly fallen in our favor Now you've taken. You've kept my years. Wouldn't change it. I give them gladly in exchange for your love This is not just my feeble attempt at poetry It seems to me to be, quite simply, my best way of saying: "Thank you"
