Melody Poem by Stefanie Fontker

Oh, beautiful treasure box
How you hold my secrets
Sealed tight, trapped
Between your palms
Anger, has it ever lived
A stranger not met
Does he cease to exist
Or are we so fortunate?
Laugh and laugh
Our inside joke, unseen
By the eyes of our foes
They'll never know
Remember that day?
How we smiled
Until our faces went numb
I'll never forget
What did they say
About you, about me?
They'll see!
Joined together to fight
You are forever
A lullaby, to which
The melody
I will always remember


*Written for a dear friend on a special day.
