I Go Slow

The heart can't help what it holds

All that it remembers, the warmth and the cold

When you hold a body close to it, it grows

Then only the future knows of what can unfold

So I hold you as close as I know

So it won't break, I go slow

For the one for sure that I know

The heart cannot help what it holds.

David Ehrgott, 64 years young, Disabled American Veteran, still learning after seven thousand writes. Looks forward to growing up someday.
