In The Stars


In morning twilight,
I stretch a numbed arm
that cradled your head to my chest.
Stirring, you kiss me
and ask me to stay,
but we both know that wouldn’t be best.
The baby awakes,
I bring her to you;
and O! how we wish she was ours.
My childhood friend,
my adult affair,
our marriage was not in the stars.

Excellent imagery Topheth...but, oh so sad.  May I please have a kleenex?
Beautiful tender write my friend.  Nancy.
