      Where Love Goes

One Day...

 

I won't be thirsty

and the rewards of

superior wellness and health

will allow me to head down

the path that I am supposed to be on...

 

One Day...

 

I'll trip on fate

one silly day and

let all that has hurt me before

brush through me and

out of tomorrow's reach,

leading me to you...

 

One Day...

 

I'll extend out my arms

while my mother

helps me into a white dress,

the piano outside in the crowd

barely reaching my ears

while my heart

is resting with the one

my father picked out

from Heaven

 

One Day...

 

I'll roll up my sleeves

and clean the dishes

from a dinner well-enjoyed

that fed mouths I gave birth to

while smiling at the window

the sun bowing down

to the same stars I've dreamed under

since ever...

 

One Night...

 

I'll lay on a pillowcase

asking for God,

resting so safe under

a roof that is mine,

and thanking Him

for all of the days that

showed me where

love goes

 

...and what it means.
