you ‘my nice’
it’s enough to make me cry twice
that bad news bang
but we still laugh you and me
in the mornings and beyond
please stay as you are always
you know i know your all
like the sky see magic
of pure good in you
we didn’t accept others
walked as just us through it
day after day into years
decades with you ‘my nice’
so much sharing is ours
we see trees and flowers alive
tiny seabirds running
and our dreams beautiful in real
a dog barks in the distance
we listen and smile
as the sun joins in
with us and ours
your face is so kind
to me in life
i always call you ‘my nice’
it’s your true name to me
