A Slap In The Face
I wish you'd stayed longer
with enough time to drop me a few lines
though you did in a poem with a sound rebuke
whether intended for me or not
it slapped my face
your drinking days are over
mine in full swing
wasting time, time is ticking
and we don't have long to make things matter
why your opinion means so much to me
I don't know but it does
you've touched my core
stir my blood
make me think
time is ticking
to do something of importance
is what counts
you ground me
thank you like an angel on earth
though with prickly spines
I can identify with
you reach me and so many others
you matter, you make a difference
I just wanted you to know
with enough time to drop me a few lines
though you did in a poem with a sound rebuke
