Loyal Hearts

I yearn to live an honest life,
One to make you proud,
One my children will look upon,
To choose among the crowd.

From you I have no secrets,
Though at times I try to hide,
The half of me not newly born,
Where spirit and body collide,

Thank you for not forsaking,
The caliginous nature in me,
Tonight, I’ll watch you fling the stars
and grace you send to me.
