around

-
we gathered round your crib
knew then that in your smile
was grace to be shared
and compassion in your eyes

we would sit around the table
eating cookies we had made
learning state capitals
and what King David said

we hung around together
in our pj's on the couch
watching all those movies
everything to talk about

now you're going 'round the world
to live and work and love
my heart is churning here inside
and there are tears yet to come

just hang around his love
stay safe in his care
live this holy dream of yours
and feel my love from here
