24 Karat Poem by Leria Hawkins

You’re the custodian of my sleep
The keeper of my dreams
You’re the master of my musings
The director of its themes
You are the one and only
A heart above the rest
You’re the merry music maker
The hum beneath my breast
You are a candy coating
As sweet as you can be
A bright and shining trinket
Atop my Christmas tree
You’re the bananas in my corn flakes
And the cream that tops my pie
You’re the yummy in my tummy
The apple of my eye
You are the fire that burns me
The flame I can’t forget
The honey to my bunny
My favorite perfect pet
I know that you’ll be with me
Although we’ve grown apart
You are that golden memory
That lives within my heart
