Hair
Please keep me from falling
I’m a hair on your head.
Don’t leave me some morning
All alone on our bed.
Don't let me be parted
Or removed from my roots.
Please keep me from falling
To be trampled by boots.
Don’t take me out swimming
But left floating behind.
Gargling in a pool drain
I would find most unkind.
If I should live to be
Your last hair when you're dead
I’ll drop in the coffin
To curl up by your head.
