pen

with this pen I can write
a poem that describes

a little bit of you

with this pen I can draw
a picture that shows
all the funny things you do

with this pen I can write
a story to show
the world just who you are

and in my mind I relive
those stories so you’ll
never seem too far

About the poem pen:

I’ve always loved to write stories, songs, poems, scripts… you name it. My favorite creations are those that remind me of times, some good, some bad, but all of them real. What I like best about the poem pen is that it draws on an emotion that is so real, and often times the hardest to get too. Absolute love and appreciation. There is this vulnerability that comes with letting someone else know how much they mean to you, how much you rely on them, but there is also a reward. This poem is just that, it comes from the affection kids have for their parents, the love they have for their best friends,  it’s a love letter that is filled with total appreciation and vulnerability.
