Keep up

The days are blissful
What a miracle
To spend my time with you
Your heart beating close to mine

The nights are long
Getting to bed is not easy
We have so much to do, so little time

In the darkest hour before dawn
After hours of feeding your body and your soul
I wonder if I’ll ever be able to keep up

Keep up and you’ll be kept up, the teaching says
So I find solace in the blessing
That you’re so perfect I could cry
Maybe I do sometimes
Watching you sleep as the sun rise
