Rhymes For My Friend

I wrote this little poem for you. It’s as simple and plain as my heart. Everything I included is true Though it isn’t any work of art. So take it and hold close to your chest, But be gentle for it’s fearful Like a bird which looks for a safe nest. Please let it be at last cheerful. If you wait for an explanation, Don’t waste your time because it’s a must, I couldn’t resist this temptation, You will appreciate it, I trust. Let it be my greeting for every day, Or a word of comfort if you are sad, Find it when your afternoons become grey. Take it for it was everything I had To tell you about my devotion To give you a little, modest sign, To show you the pure emotion. Now this poem is yours, it’s not mine.
