I owe you
by Michele SchottelkorbI owe you
(for every time you smile at me, when you feel like scowling)
I owe you
(for cracking all your silly jokes, even when Im frowning)
I owe you
(for saying that Im beautiful, even when Im screaming)
I owe you
(for planting a kiss on my nose, even when Im seething)
I owe you
(for every treasure that I own, even though Im selfish)
I owe you
(for setting all my wrongs right, even when Im foolish)
I owe you
(for all these things and countless, endless more)
I owe you, till the day I die
And beyond the golden door

| Posted by Ashok Sharda on 01/05/04 at 04:04 PM 'I owe you', reflects a positive approach of a sensitive person full of understanding. The world would definitely be a nice place to live upon if every individual can have this kind of an approach to life and others.This piece speaks more of the author than of the subject. |

| Posted by Glenn Currier on 01/08/04 at 03:49 AM Your poem is a beautiful response to those moments of unconditional love received from the precious few who see through the bespeckled hull to the inner wheat. Wonderfully done, Michele, kudos to your husband too. |
