Tattoo You
I don't regret I got it
This small tattoo of mine
An everlasting love note
In permanence of kind
I look at it and smile
It doesn't make me sad
It represents the moment
Where ink on the scratchpad
Became a lasting statement
I knew just what it was
I did when I had done it
My heart was all abuzz
Excited and emphatic
In color it did state
A pronouncement for my lifetime
Not too early, not too late
But still there's one thing missing
The statement's not complete
Until another figure
Alights and takes her seat
A tiny little bluebird
Standing o'er the strings
I'll carry her forever
To where forever brings
It's not the proper moment
To add her there right now
Her nest is not quite ready
But I hope someday, somehow
I'll sit there in the artist's chair
And watch his skillful hand
Create my little bluebird
Atop my heart she'll stand
