YOU

YOU
by Daniel Ankers



Eeenie Meenie
Minee Moe!
Catch the Moment by HIS TOE!
If he hollers, then you know!
To keep him close and don't let go
Forever be the busy bee, and don't forget to
Grow your Tree!
The one whose twigs will tell your tale
The one who's intertwined with the deepest pieces of your soul
The one who no one can ever know
Every branch and every bough, getting to know you down to the
Bole, till the day they saw you down
And build the whole world with your timber
Parceling every piece out parsimoniously
Carefully crafting with your lumber
A world where kids can climb and play
A world where the elderly can sit and think
A world where the adults can craft a safe place
to do business and act on logic and reason and all
the things that to a kid would be treason and make shapes
out of the horizon and the clouds and the sounds, of the world
could all be applause. Lets pull this thing off and be like MR. and MRS. CLAUS
Give the world what it needs. YOU.
