Allow For Us, A Learned Reapproach Poem by Maurice Harris

Oblige me my pain's ending, allow please it to cease-
Restoreth my jollity and return my heart to peace!
You are the only that may, as twas you who took it away!
Make it happen, as soon as yesterday-make it so now it stays!

Return at once my mind's peace and serenity,
All of this, and so much more, is within your ability!
Ask yourself: when was I my happiest? Respond to self;
I know too, that you mustn't put your heart upon a shelf!

What has more import: felicity unparalleled, or holding onto ghosts?
Answer: We are able to bring out in the other, our very most!
Allow for us, a learned reapproach, with lessons taught
The hard way! Able are we to move onward, nary a battle fought!

I love you as no other is capable-this I assure you!
I honor you, at each and all moments-because I adore you!
