Well, I thought thinking was smart.
Now I know the name beneath
This swooning cocoon.
Money is nice.
Time is not.
Less I command
This eloquent spot.
By evening drop
Two days to naught.
I will live less a drought.
I know I am shallow.
I know I am aware.
How do I dare
Ask for what I cannot bear?
To a grizzly I am salmon
To a monkey I am hair
To an elephant I am graceful.
To you I am there.
Part-time again,
Relieving my spare time
That is greatly agreed
Most devastatingly moving
At a most dastardly speed.
Please heed my request to thee.
Thank you greatly.
I apologize for this overwhelming tide;
However, I cannot abide full-time.
My original schedule I do need.
Monday, Wednesday and Friday abide in me,
Like Jesus my Savior indeed.
Please accept my apology.
I am able and keep responsibility
Granted me.
Love healing hearts, Shirah Chante
