This Poem

I decided to linger at the table this morning
to write this poem.
And I decided to mention it’s a poem,
in order to give it some self-awareness
of that for which it’s intended.

So this here poem has come to remind me,
there lives a great singer in my soul -
one who knows all of the words,
and all of the notes,
in the great Songbook of Life.

My singer always begins the song,
when I start loving.
