Our Nest

high in the treetops
our nest near the sky.
we snuggle and watch
the stars shooting by;
stars that we wish on,
stars that we name,
stars with no purpose,
we love just the same

twigs interwoven
with love and with care,
feathers and ribbons
from a dress that you wear.
pieces of memories,
dreams stuffed between,
baubles and buttons,
things that we've seen,

a bracelet, a necklace
an earring or two.
things that we've thought of,
things that we'll do.
a nest comfy, cozy
a fit just for two.
my heart's yours forever
I love you, I do.
