My Little Black Book

You may ask,       What's in my little black book? Close your eyes,       you might get a look. If you peek,       then you won't see inside. You'll never know more,       others have tried.        There aren't any names,       or phone numbers there. You might even say,       it kind of looks bare. Look at it closer,       then you will see. The feelings inside,       which can only be me. You will see love,         happiness too. You will see death,         times that were blue. There are the moments,         filled with my thoughts. You may try to learn,         but can never be taught. For inside is a treasure,          if your fortunate to look. Hidden inside,          my little black book?

Hi Tom....I love this poem. I once wrote a poem called 'My old sock' and it held my memories. You have written this very well and I enjoyed it from the first word to the last! Marilyn

I feel your little black book is a personal diary of your life....the good, the bad, the times in between, the hopes, dreams, times shared and what is yet to come........like the way you wrote this one the easy flow of your words allowing for an easy read.........the thought of a little black book tends to send thoughts elsewhere but not you my friend. My thoughts and my prayers are with you as you face a bigger challenge knowing the Lord is with you all the way.....God Bless, Claire
