you love me

my thoughts are with
my friends
and the good times
we shared
passing traffic
reveals the secret
of all the lessons
i ever learned
i take too many
for granted
and dismiss the remainder
with cuss-ed words
i too soon judge
and bear financial
grudges,
when i should celebrate
all our woes.
my focus is love
and oftentime i ignore
the help they have offered
there's no question
i have -
drawn a line in the sand
and requested the spirits join me
i find comfort
when we gather together
and i know that you love me.
