Micah's Poems
(Written for Cherry)
AKA "ANOTHER PAGE OF MUSHY STUFF"
There are things in life that are inevitable:
The sun will rise and set,
the tide will come in and go out,
the seasons will change,
the birds will fly South
for the winter and return in the spring,
and the caterpillar will transform
itself into a beautiful butterfly.
Somehow, I feel reassured by this
because many other things
in life are so momentary.
You have truly become the star
of my life which brings me light
in this dark world,
and warmth when I need it.
You offer me the promise of renewal,
the joy of living,
the peace of mind that comes
from sharing and caring,
and that shoulder to lean on
in times of stress.
You are my precious butterfly,
and I will cherish you
and love you forever.

Just as a poet needs inspiration
to write a masterpiece, I need you ...
Just as an artist needs a subject
for his work of art, I need you ...
Just as a teacher needs a pupil
to mold into greatness, I need you ...
Just as a composer needs a theme
to create a timeless melody, I need you ...
Without you, my life would be
empty of all inspiration.
There will be no work of art
for me to gaze at;
no person of greatness before me;
no timeless melody to listen to.
My life will exist in shades of gray
instead of vibrant colors.
