To Whom It May Concern
December 2015
I just wanted to get a few things out of the dark before we start
And this is the part that’s a little hard
A fair disclaimer to whoever you are
I hope that my requests aren’t too large
But nevertheless, I’ll embark
Do you see this mark?
I’ve been scarred
But I’m not quite starved
Because I still have a spark
Somewhere deep in my forested heart
I’ve saved it for whomever you are
In hopes that you see my arms as a work of art
And give me the will to live long enough to have my own yard
I hope you will be smart and be my guard
Because if you are not careful and woo me with charm
That little spark will leave my bark charred
But most of all, I hope that we meet soon and you are not far
Or maybe we are already mere inches apart
