You Poem by jennifer killian

If it is true that we can create something truly remarkable
From scratch;
That a person can forge themselves
From sheer force of will and persistence;

Molding with scalding metal
Into the amazing person in front of me

And, unexpectedly, remain as kind as you are,

Then now I believe in this
Thing of fairy tales
That parents guiltily tell

I see that this is true of you
And, sadly, I will never again meet such a person
