Dear Poetry

Dear Poetry, 

We met when I was just a child,
Still full of dreams, a little wild.

But then time held me in your grasp,
So many thrills, my soul forever clasp.

We found each other on summer nights,
Unburdened by plans or tempting delights.

Life took us over some slips and turns,
When my spirit knew its deepest concerns.

We knew the amazing of autumn’s mist,
Such love when September and October kissed.

Joy would tremble inside our soul,
Playing a song that would make us whole.

We once died in the arms of a prayer,
Feelings blessed by praise to share.

In the wind, I felt the breath of grace,
Needless to say, you – time wouldn’t erase.

We knew each other when things were good
And, with you inside, I always felt understood.

Melancholic, excited or elated – I always knew
You were the music that felt so fresh and new.

We wouldn’t believe that our story would end,
You were the answer to a prayer that God would send.

I’m thankful for your friendship, one so very rare,
Because of you, my friend, I know how much I care.
