To Nanita, Love Edith

While Edith sings
Herself to sleep
Into an afternoon of dreams

I too will sing
As her mouthpiece
An ode of your praises.

You're very strong.
You work so hard.
Your endurance does amaze us

When at the end of the day
You do not betray
Any sign of vile hatred.

No! Your heart is pure
And you do endure
With all the life around you.

What I can't comprehend
Is how willingly you bend
And send endless love unto me.

I love to hear
Your voice near my ear
When you sing so nice gently.

Your comforting touch
Is more than enough
To make me wholly believe.
