48. You're my Motherland

"All you took
I gladly gave
There is nothing left for me to save"

All of me - Billie Holiday

Cheer up,
Milady

Though
this present
seems
so tangled
nobody
should be
deprived
from that
magical
smile of yours

I know
I'm not

I still keep it
inside

I went
out for a walk
and I've seen
the sun today
and I've felt
your warmth
in its rays

Call me
delusional
but this
certainty
I carry
within me
is not

I'll find a way
cos what
I do have
is a remarkable
capacity
of improvisation
and innate
adaptation
skills
