My Jewel

by Andrew Jenkins
(Boise, ID)

She makes me smile,
When the days are long,
She lets me think I am right,
Even when I am wrong,
I would give anything,
To hold her tight,
I want to be with her,
Through this cold harsh night,
To take her away from me,
Now that would be cruel,
For you wouldn’t be taking just anything away,
You would be taking away my jewel.
