Gather it. Have it
Denisse García
to you
how much I love
you is as insignificant as
a
single drop
of water
as useless as a feather that
from the sky
has fallen
as worthless as one
ant in a swarm of
another ten thousand.
But gather up
all the
love
I can give you
every
day
And that drop
will turn into
rain
that slowly will
wash
the pain
away.

That feather will make
a pair of wings
and they will
free
your spirit from
all the misery
within your being.
Everyday
that ant will carry
you
whenever you are feeling
mournful
or dismal.
It will open its arms
when you
need someone
to hold you
tight.
Gather up this
love
you dared to call
foolish and
have it.
Water might dry
Feathers will keep falling
but my love
just like the ant,
will grow
stronger
and stronger.
