poignant joys
sweetest sorrows
days stretch out
nights interrupted
i give
and give again
more is demanded
i wonder if i can keep on
endurance fails
emotions fray
strength flags
small hand clasps mine
bright eyes meet my tired gaze
"i love you, mama" sounds in my ears
smiles meet me unexpectedly
i am greeted by laughter
joy and song
love floods my being
with beautiful, piercing pain
motivates me to indeed keep on
as my weariness abates
i even go beyond
mere survival
i delight
create
teach
laugh
sing
joy
yes, my days are full
full of love and
pure, poignant joys
tempered with sweet sorrows
