Distant Love

May 13, 2021

Hair white as a fresh sheet of snow,

There is something I've always wanted to know,

Why must you be so detached and cold,

Even though I know you have a heart of gold

 

Your love will always linger here,

Your place is always open here,

You have taught me things along the way,

And those are things I still use today

 

My love for you will sometimes flicker in the dark,

Even if there isn’t a spark,

Mother I know that you aren’t always the best,

But I know you’ll pursue my love like a quest
