Jack and Jill
Jack and Jill went up the hill
Slowly and with purpose
Knowing as only the young do
‘Nothing will ever part us’
The brazenness of youth
Coupled with the strength of new emotions
Falsely convinces the pair
Of their invincibility through devotion
They are untouchable by Doubt
Jack and Jill so proud
Immune to Fury, Sadness, and Doom
Followers of narcissism sing loud
Of course, their fickle natures
Would never impede their fortunes
They deserve Adoration, Awe, and Glory
All in the largest portions
And when these two awaken
From their walking dream
They will also realize that effort
Is more necessary than it first seemed
They will have to labor
To maintain their blissful state
And if they choose the idle route
This love will dissipate
The value of love
Is worth the exertion
To find yourselves
An extension of the other person
Will Jill and Jack live their lives
In a continued blissful joining?
The choice is theirs, of course
Whether to respect the forces
With which they are toying
Miracles are real
And happen every day
For those who work for them
And Believe when they pray
