The Lucky Ones

40 weeks

Seems far too short

to shield your body with mine.

What I wouldn’t give

to take from you

every bullet

Such that you

could have every breath of mine

As God and Nature intended it to be

We cannot hide forever

As much as my heart wants to

You will not bloom if smothered

We can only bask in the time that we have

And hope

We are

the lucky ones
