Austin's Poem

To: Libby

Remember, Sweetness, when you dream,
To lay eyes closed, to enjoy the scene.
For when you cry and when you laugh--
I am a bundle of your happiness.
Remember, Gorgeous, when you fear,
That when you stumble, or fail to hear,
When your flags fly at half mast--
I am a bundle of your happiness.

For when your smile shines in the night,
Or when you're clammoring through plight;
When it seems "together for never"--
Know we are shortly apart.
Beauty, we center in a piece of art.

When night skies cloud, no constellations show.
When cold gets colder, the world drowns in snow.
To live to aspire, to cry to laugh--
Nothing burns brighter, no steps unpassed.

Remember, Sweetness, when you dream,
When hope is your clothing, but there are no seams.
Understand, Darling, that such storms pass;
And I am a bundle of your happiness.

-Fin-
