Sixty

A flower at your side, just some little token, more than any pride, ribbons flutter in your hair, laugh at stuff you know, you'll always understand, drunk enough to ask why, accept you've been chosen, before you deny, die at all the hurt, a childhood provokes them, outside of your care, a wished for heaven's cry, neither shrink nor coax, beyond asking why, all that here you share, warm your soakings, with silly dares, sing your favourite lines, verify love's spoken, a cloud sails the sky, you remain unbroken.
