Edification

I want to write a poem but I don't know what to write
I think I will write about edification
What is it?
Is it when you lift someone up?
Yeah
And more 
It means that when the person leaves your company
They are more than they were before
They are understood, renewed, strengthened 
Do you do that?
Do you make them wish they can stay longer
Or you leave them run?
Ahh what is the skill?
Nothing 
All you have to do is ask
Ask what is on their mind
Ask what they have been up to
Ask what makes them come
To you!
Lol you and your mind wanders
Ask what they could do tomorrow
Help alleviate some stress
There are enough stress already
You don't need to add to it
Help strengthen the bonds
Sometimes just do nothing 
And just goof
Who said you have to do anything?
Sometimes just goof around can help you relate to someone
The point is make another person feel good
Because in effect you are making yourself feel good
Because you are having too much fun
Who needs to go to a comic strip?
They have you right there
- A willing participant
Who wants to do anything
For a laugh
For a hiccup
For a string of smiles
And for a tidy house 
Okay I'll string those smiles up
And put them on my shoulders
So you would see them when you see me
I'll take your hiccups and pound them
Make them become one sound "ahhh"
Relieve
And if you haven't I'll tell you a joke or two
Aren't you special?
How much do you cost anyway?
No prices
How do you put you on special if you have no prices?
Because I am priceless
Are you saying I can't buy you?
What are you then?
Gold and silver?
I am magnificent
What? You are too magnificent for me to buy you?
Then how can I have you?
You can have me
Ohh you just know just what to say
Okay my house is not cleaned yet
And you've been getting my free joke
Put the apron on, will ya?
