Suffice You

For you I will give my all
For you I will continue etching away pieces to suffice you

I will pull the sun from the sky for a rainy day if that is your desire 
I will be a stool to rest your feet upon if ever they are tired

I will be your excuse to shun youth’s years of tender playful riot
I will encourage you to be at peace for the price of my own quiet

I will scream your envy out from my depths to offer you reflection
I will transform myself into someone else depending on your inflection

I will be the instrument from which your hymns sing and retain every note
I will forget my words to speak your songs proudly from my throat

I will be the cure to your infection and the bandage to your wounds
I will be the gauze to your bleeding cuts and your sheltered cozy womb

I will await the sound of your breath steady before I accept rest’s call
I will ensure that when you wake you’re sure I never slept at all

I will learn all there is to know and become your greatest teacher 
I will be selfless and all-knowing, wise, stronger never weaker

And when it is time,
your hand in mine
I will escort you back home

I will step into the Earth
lay down beside you
so you are not alone
