affection is a better word

affection is a better word rings more true a sensation for me at four in the mourning eye hear a bird singing out so merrily affection is a better label sitting at my beading round table at night when i can knot sleep eye study jewel tone colors deep affection is a better sensation gives me a truer sense of elation at night when i am sewing with black nymo thread by hand over hand i study the time oh affection is a better gift i think makes me feel my emotions are knot weak gives me a purer word to speak out of my singing bird's beak
