Poem Title:
Poem
He told me love was like a hoagie sandwich He said, “You start with the bread. It has to be the perfect bread because it is you and it is what you know you like You add some mayonnaise and some mustard You know you want that Then you try a little ham By itself it is good but something seems to be missing You try a little cheese and that adds a little spunk Then you decide that maybe this is just not exactly the sandwich you want You like it but you are not in love with it So you try something new This time you add a little turkey, just for fun Maybe some roast beef, strong and stable Oh, and a few jalapeno’s for spice You decide you need something bold so you add some pepperoni More cheese because you still enjoy the mellow type You really want perfect balance Top it off with an extra large helping of the bread you crave And you find that this sandwich is perfect for you Then you realize that you can’t truly enjoy it You want the perfect someone to share it with So...You have to find someone that enjoys the same things as you Then you offer them the chance to partake in this wonderful sandwich Freely sharing the life you have created If they are inclined they partake and you share in the magic Of all the love you added into it For yourself and for them Life, friendship, spice, spunk, laughter, balance And the other half (a partner to share it with) Not too much or you end up with a party sub Just a perfect Hoagie sandwich” Yes, words of wisdom in disguise My best friend taught me Not to take life or love too seriously To share it with the ones we trust and love To put in it what you want out of it To live, laugh, love and make beautiful memories And to enjoy every bite!
