A Little Love Poem by Alan Strand

Just a little love
Is all I need
To get me through
Another day and night
Of missing you.

Just a knowing glance
A passionate smile
Your warm embrace
The touch of your face
On mine.

Just a run on the trail
Then stroke my hair gently
How about a hug,
All sweaty and hot
Is that asking a lot?

Just a squeeze from your hand
So I feel you are there
With me and for me
Then set me free
To savor our love.

Just a few kind words
Is all that I ask
To get me through
Another night and day
Of missing you.

(For Carla,1988/11/11.)
