Your heart stays
in baby blue,
kept deep in her
ever-soft cloth.
Joy holds me
in the dark,
in place of your hands,
gone missing
from the start.
I will never know
your fiercest smile,
nor your mischievous eyes
Until I reach forever
and realize I had,
in faces you've touched,
and the baby blue lamb.
You will never know
my silent defiance,
nor my hungry wonder.
Until I reach forever
and realize you had,
from your stay in my heart,
with the baby blue lamb.
My love will stay
in baby blue,
welded into yours
and our well-loved lamb.
Joy will hold them
through the storm,
next to my hands,
always there
from the start.
