A Poem by Sophie

Everything: a poem

I look at everything I’ve got,

And wonder about what I’d do without them.

Everything changes,

And everything goes,

That’s what mother always said.

Without anything I wouldn’t be here,

And we wouldn’t shed a single tear,

I wonder what would I do without everything.

So I thank the lord for another day,

As I look back at everything I’ve done and got,

Gone for a day or two,

I wonder what I could do,

With anything.
