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.
