“Close”

By bpathos


Oh I came so close
Like shoes on toes
Close as wet on rain
Like two coats of paint
I was almost there
And I do not care
 
Newborn draws a breath
And into the arms of death
Even brief as thunder
Any life is wonder
Our pain is something
Rather than nothing
 
Life is above zero
For all I know
If my cup is not full up
There is no wrong
Be glad for the cup
It is not gone
 
So before I go
I want to show
In every day
I saw kindnesses
And want to say
Even ones like this
 
Show me the life
Laid at my feet
Show the love
In those I meet
It blesses the soul
When it is grateful
