For You

I can carry you,
If you want me to.
I would carry you forever.
Down this road that is life,
I will follow you, carry you.
I may get weary but don’t worry,
My life depends on this.
You see I gave you this….thing,
It’s small and red. It only makes music for you.
Well I need it back when we get to the end,
I will need it to get to heaven.
Don’t bother you can keep yours, 
I know that it does not hanker for me.
But I will follow my heart,
And if I cannot be your keeper,
Then I shall be your friendly carriage, 
And that way stay with you forever.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
