James Ph. Kotsybar Poet Free verse

Wonderful Wake-Up

This morning you called 
To set me loving, 
To get me real 
And say hello to me – 
Not to get news, check improvement, 
Borrow a listening ear
Or pay a courtesy.

This morning you called 
To make me smile, 
To take me as me, 
To give me strength to be 
And, best of all,
Beyond your impressive style, 
To say, believably, that you love me.
