Solicitude’s Zest

Thief

Those things I remember, things of the heart
If forgotten they be forever lost
Sweet memories contort, love falls apart
And into its place, separation’s cost

Improbable, impossible quest: love
Whether in winter, spring, summer or fall
Most any season — pray heaven above
It is in God’s solace one lifts the pall

Thus, to allow one on their merry way
Free in harmony and nature’s healing
Never let it be said I went astray,
Nor onerous hearts are not worth stealing

Should I betray my solicitude’s zest
Then lost I will be, for once I loved best
