Long Poem for You

Jeff put a pen to paper
And thought what would he do
But to write a long poem
To his dear mother Berry

He thought he planned out
What he would say
He searched for his outline
To begin the long poem

Short notice was his writing
She was coming soon
So he began writing
Without his outline

The words came pure and true
Out flowed the heart and soul
The poem turned from one page to next
As he remembered his outline

The wind blew fierce
Through the window
He put the finished pages of poem
Under a rock

A knock came on the door
He didn't have time to proofread
His long poem was almost complete
He rushed to finish it

He opened the door
There Berry stood
He handed her his long poem
And waited patiently for her to read

Riddled with mistakes
She could barely make out the message
But the theme resounded
I love you and I miss you

Tears in her eyes
She hugged Jeff and said
"This is the best poem you wrote.
Now it does need corrected to understand better."
