Fontanelle

I know you’re there

I caught a glimpse

A gentle smile

Oh fontanelle

 

You raised your hat

I saw a wink

The laughter roared

The briefest spell

 

The ups and downs

Our life endures

Keep us at bay

To keep you well

 

You hide your eyes

The brim so wide

You speak of pain

These years of hell

 

I knock on wood

It’s grown so strong

Recoiling from

The love I tell

 

And now you’re gone

So silence says

No hurt can reach

No fontanelle
