Believe Me, Stephanie

A more traditional rhyming poem, written in the middle of the night.

Believe me, Stephanie, that when you say

You cannot last another day

My heart, that once would tear in two,

Now holds together, knowing you

Have strength – believe me, this is true

For though I cannot read your mind

Or see the thoughts I hope to find

I know the things of which you’re made

(Though scarce are readily displayed)

Will shine while others are decayed

All who look at you with care

Uncover what is really there

If only you could find a view

Without unwanted gloomy hue

I’m sure that you would see it too

So take today as one more chance

To fight against this sullen trance

To stake a claim for what you’ve earned

Through errors made and lessons learned

Believe this corner will be turned
