Me, such a small insignificant word
Me, two little symbols, two little letters in all,
Me, a name for a complex being
Me, that's the name to call.
Me, the daughter and first born
Me, the precocious child - so I'm told!
Me, knowing right from wrong
Me, with childhood memories to keep and hold.
Me, the student, but not straight away
Me, playing the game, the stars mine to reach
Me, the assignments on time, doing okay
Me, the qualified but not ready to teach.
Me, such a small insignificant word
Me, two little symbols, two little letters in all,
Me, can be so alone
Me, needing you to call.
You, a little longer word
You, three little symbols, three little letters in all,
You, a name for family or friend
You, that's the name to call.
You, the parent always there
You, supporting and feeling proud,
You, showing the love, the care, the trust
You, the parent - always around.
You, the husband, handsome and fair
You, offering love, friendship and a life to share,
You, the fan, the critic, the equal
You, the husband always ready to care.
You, the children - two sons to cherish
You, the children bringing joy - and tears!
You, 'the boys ' to praise and admire
You, the children to protect from your fears.
You, the friend - so understanding
You, the friend to share worries and woes,
You, always ready to offer mutual respect
You, creating a friendship that lasts and grows.
Me, no longer a small, insignificant word
You, no longer three little letters in all,
You and me, that makes US
US a chain so strong - US ready for me - or you - to call.

- Comment from author about the poem: I suppose what I'm trying to say that through life we may feel alone but no one is an island and we can reach out to each other for support at different times in our lives. 😘

😂 thank you
I just love the way you wrote this. Starting with 'me', bringing in 'you', with a great conclusion.
Thank you 😊
