I Will Love You Forever


Their little arms,
 wrapped tight
around my heart,
pulsed
with the thrum thrum
of my joy
as they hungrily suckled
on love
and the promise
that I would
be there
for them
for all my days,
and beyond,
when the chamber
of my heart
filled
with all the love
of all my years
would open
and scatter
its seeds
far and wide
to every corner
of their being
to grow fruits
of love
for them
to pluck
and
feast upon.
