If I’m Wrapped in Kindness

The ordinary thingsare easy to forget

only time, hollow,

keeps slipping past.

On a morning

woken by a gentle voice,within an unchanging view,

I’ll let a new breezequietly begin to blow.

Looking up beyondthe window,

(if I’m wrapped inthe kindness—)

of quiet,dappled light,

the world will brimwith glow—and I’ll hold only you.

Oh, any time,

I’llbe righthere

As the seasons turn,I won’t let go of your hand.

The feeling that binds uswill never fade.

You watch over me

with a gentle smile.

Within our steady, everyday life,

the time we share feels brief—

as if it might end any moment.

In each other’s joywe find what life means.

(If I’m wrapped in kindness)

smiles will overflow

—and I’ll hold only you.

Always, mylove, I’mby yourside

You taught methe breadth of the skyand the names of flowers.You taught mewhat I can call love.

In time that hurries on,tenderness remains

—with the scent of gardenia.

Ah~

Ah~

Ha~

Looking up beyond the window,

(if I’m wrapped in the kindness)

of quiet, dappled light,

the world will brim with glow

—and I’ll hold only you.

I’llbe righthere

In each other’s joywe find what life means.

(If I’m wrapped in kindness)-

smiles will overflow

—and I’ll hold only you.

Always, mylove, I’mby yourside

As the seasons turn,

I won’t release your hand,so the feeling that binds uswill never fade.

When our two selves meet in time,

its scent and its warmthlet my heart come to rest.

Ha~

Ah~

Everything that holds you—

(If I’m wrapped in kindness)—

I’ll hold you,

strong and sure,

and keep on loving you.

Always,

always,my love.

I’ll be there—

anytime.

I’mright byyour side

“If I’m wrapped in kindness,”

I’ll be by your side—always, anytime.

I want to see you,even now, right away.

Thank you for the “warmth” you give me.

Thank you for staying—always.

Mm~

Thank you~
