Pull up a chair

by Dahni

Pull up a chair and leave it there

in some out of the way corner will do;

if would should be turned to could

I’d be right beside of you!

Even if just to look and see

your face of brimming smile

would be a precious gift to me

and sustain my heart awhile!

Time seems too short to the very young

and too long as we grow old

to share all the joys, I’d have sung

and the love I’d have you hold!

Distance seems to grow us farther apart

as if we exist only, in words written or spoken

and I pen a poem from a longing heart

and it seems, but a trifle token.

I am not all hoped for or longed to be

nor able to give all I would

too late, too little, not enough or free

of rust and moth nor full of good!

But, I love you, despite action or word

or lack you might find in me

My heart - Full of YOU, the sound is heard!

My love - Oh, Let it be!

I pen this not to know you care,

but that you know, I do!

Pull up a chair and leave it there

and pretend I’m there with you!
