Peg

I love it
When you touch me
And squeeze me really tight

You make me
Feel important
With all the warmth and light

I value 
Every moment
Even if they’re brief 

Getting noticed
And being chosen
Is such a huge relief

Don’t let
The skies rule you
And tell you what to do

Sitting idle 
In a heap
Can be really bad for you

Don’t keep
Me in the dark
I prefer not to take a break

I’m happiest 
Being out there
When integrity’s at stake

Even though 
I’m weathered 
Strength is my best feature 

I’ve endured 
Hard times before
And survived a vicious creature

But still 
I’m always faithful 
When I know that you are mine

I hold on tight
With all my might
To your best clothes on the line

Happy Fear is what I'd feel, when the voice I've just heard in Peg is directed to me. it is a Sophisticated Eve talking
