Poem One
Cry not for me, my friends
For I am the whisper in the breeze.
The shadow from the trees.
The buzz from the bees.
The aim to please.
Cry not for me.
For I am the walks you take.
The smiles you fake.
The choices you make.
And the love you forsake.
Cry not for me.
For I am the lessons to learn.
The chances to spurn.
The money to earn
And the money you burn.
Cry not for me.
For I am the car you drive.
The risk you thrive.
The promotion you strive.
And the tragedy you survive.
Cry Not for me.
For I am the nest you crave.
The family you slave.
The need to be brave.
The crest of a wave.
Cry not for me.
For I am the litter in the streets.
The love between the sheets.
The chance meets.
And the jubilation of amazing feats.
Cry not for me because I am your life.
