Gem in the Gravel
by Alison McKenzieHe is forever in Texas,
This man creeping into my heart
And caring for my soul;
This friend whos embrace
Is only known through
The psychic provisions of
The world wide web.
Can Charlie come out to play?
The little girl in me wants to know,
And the adult in me would gladly
Let her have her way -
For a minute, or a day, or a lifetime -
If such were the dreams-come-true
Of this pitiful, little life I lead.
Thank you, Mr. Morgan,
For all your tenderhearted intentions,
Your goofy comment-language,
And your sweet place in the world,
But especially my world.
You are a gem in a world of gravel.
