Three Heartbeats

There are raindrops
and bright spots of sunshine
   Angry faces
     and gently smiling friends

Maybe I rose is blooming    in someone's garden
   maybe I baby is being born, crying out for heaven in his mother's arms

A boy is becoming a man   too early for his broken heart
           (they were best friends, so what else would break?)
         He wants to get married, he said
                                     maybe he just wants someone to hold
                           someone who will kiss him goodnight when he's lonely
                  someone who he can trust will never leave him ever (even when the rest of the world    does.)
      I wish I could
         tell him     How very much I adore him
How I would marry him in three heartbeats      (three years if he'd wait)
But,
my love stretches out so far that I want him to be happy. I want him to love
whoever is right, Lord...whichever girl makes his eyes shine brighter than the stars

There are cloudy days
and weeks of blue sky
        Eyes full of tears
          and overflowing laughter

But the Lord my God sees our hearts
So nothing is impossible.
