Sweet Heart

Lou Ann, I know I needn't cite specifics when I
Say that I've been down. When I am here with
You, I'm diagnosed with just a glance, and,
Rather than belaboring the instances and
Situations which have set me on a slope,
And listing fixes I could try, you smile, and
You lead me to your garden, and you make
Me tea, and, hours later, after you have
Forced me to ignore myself, and shown me
Flowers, made me laugh, you tell me that I
Have to go. I do, Lou Ann, a salvaged man,
But one whose feet begin to slip again, once
You have closed your gate. You know so
Well as I, I will be back.
