“Sit Quietly”
Sit quietly with me
On the bench out back
As the evening fades
You reading while I knit
When I feel scared
Enfold me in your arms
In a warm embrace
Where I am safe from harm
When the sheets are rumpled
From two seasoned lovers
Kiss me softly and slowly
That I may feel your love
Share with me your ideas and concepts
For I am your best friend and confidant
Look into my eyes while speaking
Eagerly waiting to hear my reply
When the winter winds turn cold
Snuggles up close beside me
To share your warmth
Under the blanket of unity
Laugh with me when life gets ridiculous
The antidote my hears love to hear
Surprise me with unexpected silly gifts
Spontaneity is the secret of true love
Hold my trembling hands in yours
When I cry listening closely to the things
That have broken my heart into tiny pieces
Willingly give me support and strength
As the days, begin to slip away
Memories may surely follow
The good times I shall keep locked
In a secret corner of my mind
If before me, you forego…
I will sit quietly
On our bench out back
As the evening fades
Reminiscing as I knit~
