in depth look at poem: I don't remember why I wrote this poem. But, I do remember where I was when I wrote it. I was in a room in a room in the chapel annex (a place like sunday school rooms and stuff). I wrote it with marker on the board..I had to copy it down onto paper.


part of me

part of me
is with you.
for you are my
joy when I'm sad
peace when I'm troubled

part of me
is with you.
for you are my
life when I'm dead
water when I'm thirsty

part of me
is with you.
for you are my
friend when I'm lonely
relief when I'm tired
