POEMS ARE FOR THE LIVING

Write your poem for me now

While I am living,

While I can set my eyes on each word,

While I can taste the Sweetness

Of each utterance as it rolls off my tongue,

While I can hear its cadence,

While I can trace each line with my finger

Over your words, feeling their power

To move my soul.

Write your poem for me now

While I can sense your caring,

While I can feel special,

While I can feel loved.
