A POEM ABOUT A POEM

A poem about a poem

Oh, let me see…

I stop along the road

And I wait for it to catch 

Up with me

Tell me who you are

And what business

Do you have with me

You say you are a counter

You will count the tears for me

You say you are an explorer

And you will help me see

You say you are a master

You will hold my thoughts

For me, until I am able to

Hold them for myself

You say you like to play

And you never know for sure

Exactly where you are going

You are big enough to hold

All of the thoughts unspoken

You are a good friend

And promise to always

Be there for me

To have and to hold

From this day forward

Until the end of days
