A Beach Without Water

A beach without any water is a desert Nachos without any cheese is a chip A ski slope without any snow is a hillside Me without you is no relationship A zebra without any stripes is a donkey A fountain without spray is a statue Valentines Day without a lover is a bummer And that’s exactly how I feel without you Please be the water for my desert Please be the cheese upon my chip Please be the snow on my hillside Please be in my relationship Please be the stripes on my donkey Please be the spray for my statue Please be my lover every single day Please never let me be without you (NOTE: This poem was inspired by my 6 year old son. We are going to the beach this week- end and he asked me, “Will there be water near the beach?” That gave birth to the first line of this poem, which started my thoughts in motion.)
