Here is a poem I wrote a couple months back. It’s about love and it rhymes.
Love Poem – Lent 2009
You gave me three red roses
I don’t know what they’re for
‘Cause I’m as common as they come
But your love says I am more.
I keep a book of measurements
You disregard the score,
The reports, reviews, and ratings
Your love says I am more.
When you asked me to come with you
I almost shut the door
And said, “I’m suited for stability.”
Your love said, “You are more.”
I’m timid but I’m coming
Though I don’t know what’s in store
Because I’m brave when I’m beside you
And your love says I am more.
