I.
As the thick clouds slid
A cold blanket on the sun
You came, dear ones, with
Little feet that tickled like
Sunshine on my skin.
II.
You ate the small green evils
That fed on my sick heart, and
Spread your love across
Its damp cage.
III.
I will make this place
Heaven’s garden for you,
My angels, and fill
It with the sweetest flowers
I can find.
