Now

She steps into his arms
Squeezes him tightly and smiles
So so happy
So. . .
     Blessed. Tremendously blessed.
A thought grabs her
What if?
What if this happiness isn't meant to last?
What if he is taken suddenly?
What if? What if??
Tears fill her eyes.
She feels anxious and clammy.
Shh, shhh
      a still, small whisper. . .
        Peace, beautiful peace.
She might not have tomorrow
But she does have now.
She squeezes him tighter and smiles,
Oh yes, she does have now.
