you gave us
the best twenty minutes
of each day
all smiles
in agreement
big hugs
and contentment
we never saw the bad
when the camera
was on
you strived to show us
how happy a couple
could be
hiding the darkness
just around the corner
stuffing the sadness
in the other room
where we never went
how much better
would it have been
if we saw you
warts and all
working out
the difficulties
learning all
the intricacies
coming back from
each blow
stronger than before
closer in heart-understanding
teaching us
how to make
the sun shine again
after the harsh rain
of reality
can't you see
that the bad helps, too?
be renewed
by the greyness abound
come around again
back to love
(new)
