Indescribable

********************************************

Two little hands reaching, clinging tightly

Around my neck, not letting go;

The brush of hair against my face,

Dark, curled eyelashes on tear-stained cheek;

The clutch of a small hand clasped in my own,

A wave, a smile, a kiss in the wind;

(Eyes too old for a face so young-

Confused and sad and left behind;

Tears of anger at a world so cruel)

A whisper of trust, an “I love you.”

***********************************************************

I have never before loved like this.
