Surprise Me

Surprise me with a compliment When I’m feeling down Surprise me with a funny joke When you see me wear a frown Surprise me with agreement When I am argumentative Surprise me with a “thank you” smile When I’ve nothing left to give Surprise me with a thumbs up sign Even though I tried and failed Surprise me with camaraderie When all my other friends have bailed Surprise me with a shoulder rub After a long, hard day at work Surprise me with a good kick in the tush When I am being a real jerk Surprise me with an in depth look At one of my stupid poems Surprise me by being there When at night I stumble home Surprise me by simply loving me Although there is no good reason to at all Surprise me by catching me Before I even start to fall Surprise me in any of these ways And this I promise you The surprises that I give right back Will come in multiples of two

This is a very good poem. I hope I surprised you. I haven't been around much. I have been very sick, but I'm much better now. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.....Lucilla
