Collage #42

It is that special time of the year
When you get to see pumpkins galore
At every grocery store
In all shapes and sizes
When that time comes
Don’t you dawdle
But go straight to the store
Ask your mama
If you can pick one
Or more
It’s better to have a brother
To help you carry them home
A brother is good for many things
He often lets you have your ways
He is the first friend you see
In the morning
He can be sweet
Even when you’re cranky
He can give hugs
Even when you don’t want them
But with him
Possibilities abound
You always have someone to laugh with
Fun takes on a new dimension
Everyone should have a brother
Like I do

Don't You Hurry

Let him wait
Don’t you hurry
Take your time
Your arrangements
Can also wait
Don’t you know
If you go
Hearts will be broken
Especially mine                       
Without you
Life will not be so gay
Don’t you remember
We still have places to go together
I still to have to see your face
At least a few more times
There are sunsets to watch
Graduations to celebrate
Weddings to attend
Flowers to smell
Beauty to admire
Please say
You’ll stay
And let him wait
‘Cause I know
He doesn’t want you
To hurry
