A Thing Poem by Dernell Antoine

It is your greatest joy when sad
your stress releaver when times get hard
the only feeling of comfort when alone
and the reason you always have to pick up the phone.

With out this thing you cannot live,
to really know what life is about...
you must stand up tall and brave,
and if you know it's real do not dout.

It's like the air you breath
how hard you cannot do with out it
if it does find you, you will feel your body being lift
to a strange feeling you always need.

That thing the only thing
can make you feel this way is love.
