The Gift

Our Union is like this:

You feel cold

So I reach for a blanket to cover 

Our shivering feet.

A hunger comes into your body

So I run to my garden

And start digging Sweet Potatoes

You ask for words of comfort and guidance,

I quickly kneel at your side offering you

This poem

As a Gift.

You ache with loneliness one night 

So much you weep

And I say,

Here's a rope,

Tie it around me, 

Hafiz

Will be your companion

For Life.
