Things I will do

Because its National Poetry Writing Month…

I will believe I’m good,
So that I can be.
I think of you well,
So that you might join me.

I will do my dishes,
So that my place is clean.
I will put my clothes away,
So you’ll think of how good I’ve been.

I will read the classics and not trendy magazines,
So that I can be smart.
I will have something to say,
So when we meet again I can speak art.

I will make new friends everyday,
So I won’t feel lonely.
I will try to keep them too,
So I can throw you the best party.

I will work hard,
So I can take care of myself.
I will try to work as hard as you,
But I don’t think I can without risking my health.

I will love nature,
So it can keep loving me.
I will walk barefoot on the grass,
So I can make from your roots a strong tree.
