Duty's Prize

A tap on the shoulder
        or a catch of the eye
can bring two together
        where each ask whether.

A little conversation
        sittin' side by side
can bring two to touch
        with a little of much.

A slip of sensation
        in the flick of a heart
can bring two together
        in a quest of forever.

A stroll on a path
        sharing steps forward
can bring two to aflow
        of knowing how to go.

A little bless of spirit
        from the higher power
on interscaped souls
        can level peaks and fill holes.

A little mother wisdom
        and a bit of father sense
can help both realize
        the cost of duty's prize.
