Song for a Broken Valentine


Daddy Bear

Recommended Posts

For those who want to hope

 

 

hold on to me, darling

all through the restless night

a morning close awaits us

and a world caressed in light

reflecting all the love you have inside

so hold on through the night.

 

I'll hold you like I'd hold that little girl

who looked at her first rainbow

and thought it was a miracle

and you'll remember how you felt that day

the rain will fade away

and you'll know she wasn't wrong.

 

you are

the queen of people's hearts

you should be free to smile and fill their eyes

with all that 'queen' implies

majestic and benevolent and wise

how can I tell you?

you are

the gold of angels' hair

the soft red of a full-bloom fragrant rose

the pink of baby toes

the blue of seas and, I am one who knows,

brightest white of Arctic snows.

 

 

oh, wicked things can happen

people do forget to care

very precious things get damaged

they're discarded everywhere

but I'll take One and see that it's repaired

oh, I will always care.

 

I've told you like they told that little girl

in puppet shows and sweet songs

that love can be a miracle

and over time the nightmares will let go

to let your spirit show

and you'll know I wasn't wrong.

 

 

so hold on to me, darling

hold me through these trying times

I am yours from here to Heaven

and you likewise can be mine

believe the rainbow's promise when it shines

believe in love divine.

Holy smokes, bloke.

 

That's so good, it sort of cripples me for a bit...

 

It makes me really want to sob and sob and sob. It brings up so much to the surface of my well.

 

You know you are doing pretty well as a poet when a lady reading wonders, "How on earth could he have ever lost his Queen?" He's a King.
