Stolen – A Quadrille

Stolen

One day when I was not looking
it went missing
I always held it close
Protected it, guarded it
with care and attention
but then in a beat
it was gone
Taken from its hiding place
and without my knowledge
You stole my heart

  2. Sos true. In unexpected moments it can happen. I know. It happened the first time I saw the face of my great granddaughter.
