Room 619
( For Ronan )
If ever I should get sick
room 619 is where I want to go
there’s strength in that number
so the rumor mill tells me so..
they say it’s a room of heroes
of gladiators and the like
of young men
that truly know how to put up a fight..
They know the battle is hard
yet they give fully to the cause
to battle with all of their might
determined to see the dawn
through the dark of night..
If ever I should get sick
room 619 is where I want to go
if ever I need to wage a war
am in need of emotional strength as armor..
beside that
on the rumor mill they say
the coolest people anywhere
come through the door
of 619 every single day!

Clyde - this is a beautiful poem. Such power. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a professor's conviction that the stories (songs, poems, etc) that address life's struggles are the best.
