Mine Forever

In a world that makes usquiver

Every day at 6 PM when

Local News sends shard andshiver

Of the tragic days events;

Missiles fire and miss theirtarget

Finding innocents instead;

Miltimediated markets

Often leave the consciencespent

To dwell in anguish, jawsagog,

Praying that the worldrepents;

I have only one true treasure

That consoles my every poreof

Being to the fullest measure,

Though the World beats downmy will.

Knowing you are mine forever

Wards away pernicious harm

That baits and goads to pull thelever

That would leave me cold andstill.

Until such time, we stridetogether,

Hand in hand we climb thehill
