USE MY ARMS

use my arms

to hold back
the wind

to open all
your doors

to carry
the umbrella

to bring you
breakfast

to carry your
coat

to bring in the
birthday cake

to hold your
favorite books

to collect the
shells we love

to dance
for no reason

to carry the
flowers you grow

editors note:

To have is to hold. – mh clay
