THE BOY WHO TOLD A PROVERB

When I was young, I went visiting a friend

We stayed together and played a while:

Mother in the room and siblings around.


Chatting together and playing console,

I guess I must have stayed a while.


He went in and came back out,

Not long after, he told me a parable.


About friends who don't overstay their welcome,

And how much he loves them so.


Dear friend, I got the message, 

Who doesn't like being loved?


Not long after, 

I said my greetings and took my leave.


This is the story of the boy who said a proverb;

Why do I say this now, you wonder?


I must have offended another without a proverb—

My actions, sometimes, I don't understand.


But I always hope to keep things plain.

Dear friend, I'm sorry if I drove you off.

Sometimes, I act a little rough..

ICE BREAKER

I'm thinking of our talks with a smile, Although sometimes I'm scared that I cross the line, But you always reassure me that it's fine, Like a fish, I'm always testing the line, Pushing boundaries because you allow, Humorous are you, and mighty kind Talking with you through tough times, I'm sure this relation is God's hand. You've been of help to me, I said I know you'll want to protest— But I'm smiling at a word you said, Far long after it had been said. I cherish the lovely moments we talk; Always waiting to hear from you, Sometimes I'm scared I bother you, But I can't seem to help myself. I wanted to write something happy, But happiness is serious business, And from everyone else You are a little different. But keep the love, keep the purity, When we vibe, there's no insecurity Like one mind, at ease in unity, You're greatly blessed, until infinity! This was supposed to be light, but it's so serious! Shine brightly, dearest Sir...
