Gershon Wolf Poet Personification

You'Re On Top In No Time

I give you reason to breathe
   not a pretext to seethe

I give you what to point toward
   not an excuse to be bored

I give your spirit room to come alive
   not an alibi for another nosedive 

Without me life's a steep uphill climb
   With me you're on top in no time

I am the straw that stirs the drink
   I am the pen that holds the ink

          ~ I am Hope
