Love Song

Love Song

the base

of beginning

may be covered

albeit forgotten

but no less

there

for a baby’s needs

are but basic

neath the shelter of trees

be it

food or drink

clean diapers

or sleep

or someone

to sing

a certain song

that will last

however

long

for when

the lullaby

is neigh

and the back

too stooped

to see stars

and the grass too brown

to be green

and the faucet too hard

to turn

there is

but the base

neath the shelter of trees

be it

food or drink

clean diapers

or sleep

or someone

to sing

a certain song

that will last

however

long
