I Am Mark

I am a dreamer A thinker of thoughts A devout reader One who tinkers with words? And laughs at their form Or cries at their sense I am a man of my word I’ll say what I do And do as you say… With a laugh along the way No matter; come what may! I am a father of two Two boys in our image Where boys will be boys! Irreplaceable rascals we pride in their smiles She laughs as we huddle – Cries when no cuddles I am tall Yet it’s not a long way to fall Although I bend To kiss the lips of a very special friend And sway – to get outta the way During the month of a certain day A husband I am A lover; I will to be A devoted being I am, with Placid blood coursing through my veins A man truly in love with his special friend A wife for life and thereafter… I am loved I know that in my heart I hear it in their voice I feel it with their touch I am blessed I am Mark Frank Herrera’s Poetry Contest – “I AM” 6 Nov. 2014 2nd Place...
