Tender Love

When strength of will is all you’ve got

The war is won though never fought

You must give in without surrender

Barbaric yawp in voice so tender

Days will pass with check-less tick

You care not time is slow or quick

You only see in narrow focus

Winter chill then spring-peeked locus

Matters not the things undone

Dusty sill errands un-run

For care is not the only thing

Like a soft-blown kiss it’s the love that you bring
