Walk Nearer

I’m in your life for a reason, though just for a brief season. You all ease by me everyday, breeze through me then slip away. Avoid my glance, never even stay. Hurrying by me quickly down this street in retreat. I’m in your life for a reason, though just for a brief season. Forgetting to share our lovely gift, by hurrying by our hearts adrift. Rarely our heads do scarcely lift. Hurrying by me hurrying down this Street incomplete. I’m in your life for a reason, though just for a brief season. May a poem touch you sure, capture brief your heart so pure. Carry this verse outside your door. Then walk by me and smile in this Street… so replete.
