For That Short Time

Listen up big strong moma
I aint no princess
And I aint no millionaire.
I may not be the happily ever after

But.

I would take you in my arms.. and let you cry all you wanted.. cuz for that short time... I can be the strong one.. for that short time.. I can be superman. For that short time.. I will try and be the one.. who will end your pain.

Hey Big Daddy
I know you hurtin
Your love your life is missin
You carry that guilt around your neck.

But

I would take you in my arms.. and let you cry all you wanted.. cuz for that short time... I can be the strong one.. for that short time.. I can be superman. For that short time.. I will try and be the one.. who will end your pain.

Baby sister of mine
You know you do not
Have to block me out anymore
Cuz I know that somethings wrong
SO you can share with me.

But

I would take you in my arms.. and let you cry all you wanted.. cuz for that short time... I can be the strong one.. for that short time.. I can be superman. For that short time.. I will try and be the one.. who will end your pain.

Hey I do not know what I can say
For you to see I aint playin.
But I know the pain of loss
The pain of lies
The pain of betrayal.

But

I would take you in my arms.. and let you cry all you wanted.. cuz for that short time... I can be the strong one.. for that short time.. I can be superman. For that short time.. I will try and be the one.. who will end your pain.

  • I think this is magnificent.

    I love every word and nuance of this poem. It, first of all, shows your very loving heart. It flows beautifully and evokes strong emotions. Your choices of words and language create wonderful imagery.
    It is very original, which is, to me, the most important characteristic of it. You have shown us that you have a very creative imagination. I love this one. I love your profile page too because we share the same faith. Well done.

      thank you very much... I took so many of my friends at that time who were going through some hard times and it just came to me. That even though we are all seperated physically.. I could still let them know how I felt.. and I express myself the best through poetry.

      glenn shannon. once again thank you for the comment... the above poem is a mixture for friends.. and I do call them sisters and momma. they are amazing influences in my life.. and they carry so much on them that at times.. I feel like I need to let them know that I am there for them.

  • Excellent!!!

    A sincere and honest write--Well versed with an abundance of "Feeling"--
    I admired your creativity in the separation of the stanzas with the word "But" !!
    It brings the whole piece together and portrays your message well!
    Well Done!

      thank you so very much.. this was a very personal one..
      the first verse is for a woman I call momma..
      the second verse is for a friend who lost his wife to cancer.
      the third verse is for the girls I call sisters..
      and the fourth is for everyone in my life whom I care about..
