I sit and think of what to convey
While I watch the boats float by in the bay
It really is a beautiful day
Though I'm stuck at work, I hate to say

Alison I have a thing or two
That I would like to say to you
With all of your adventures and things you do
Remember one thing, always be true

Sometimes life's hard and down right tough
And the road ahead may still be rough
But negative feelings you must now slough
So keep your chin up and don't sweat the small stuff

Some dudes are cruel and some are coy
Find yourself a man and not a boy
For if you're merely just a toy
It is your love that they will destroy

So live your life and have some fun
And enjoy your moment in the sun
Just don't forget dear Alison
Always finish what you've begun

Rather that which you haven't

Ok, this is the one I wrote for Alison, Amber's roommate. Like I said, it's more or less advice from a friend or brother. I hope you like it.

Very nice......and wise words they are.

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

What a lovely poem to write for your friend! I'm glad she liked it!

Thank you all, I'm glad you liked this piece. I think this piece could apply to anybody, male or female, I just happened to use a female as my subject matter. As far as these being wise words, I don't know about that. I consider them to be more like common sense.

Anyways, thank you all again. I look forward to reading more of your works. Take care!
