On Parting

It was the 33rd time they were parting-as many as Christ's years
(she kept count, of course)

damndistance

each time it was parting time there in his car
she stares deeply into his eyes
deeply
she cant help it
hungry for his eyes
and he keeps staring back
lovingly
and checking around him at the same time
his strong hunter's instinct at work
to protect his female, to protect them both
each time he is the one to say decidedly
''time to go''

this time she melts
her heart wells up in her eyes
misty eyed
tears of joy, gratitude and love
and thank you
this time his eyes gets misty too
liquid love slowly melting in their eyes

to love and be loved back
such precious blessing
worth the entire world

thank you God for this
amen
