Form: Vertical Monocrostic
Was tired of being lost
Now I’m found
Picked myself up
Off the ground
I’ve finally found the time
Inside my mind
To find the rhyme
And look at my priorities
One by one and
Line by line
My babies, I miss you
Your smiling faces
Are taking me
Places where
The chases never end
I’m sorry for the things
I’ve done
Not there to have the
Daily fun...
But, lesson one…
Be the MAN!!!
