For Jackie

I’ll be

 

My arms will be better than a coat in cold weather

My hand will be gloves you can wear.

Lay your head on my shoulder if you start feeling colder

I’ll take every degree you can’t bear.

 

I’ll use every kiss to remind you that this

Is something we’ll conquer one day.

Every time I put pen to paper I’ll send

Every ounce of my love your way.

 

I’ll make laughter your shield, forcing bad thoughts to yield.

My smile is a promise to show

That we’re in this together, through fair or bad weather

We’ll take on anything hell tries to throw.

 

I’ll be your knight, your hero, your light

I’ll be anyone—or simply just me.

I’ll make sure that the days outnumber the nights

By being whatever you need me to be.
