You actually have it
and this is more
than already having it.
You have to love it
You have to hold it
You have to let it be
You have to let it be more than you.
All the things your father apologizes he could never give you
All the things your mother cries about and prays never reach you
I live without them all and with them all
to know with certainty that love is
and always will be
a smile from across the room.
