May I.

May I have a word.

I like to talk with you,

You laugh a lot

and cry, and smile, and pout.

There is a moment of everyone in you.

May I walk with you.

I like to be with you

you spend time well.

Each moment loved with carefree earnest,

and the hounds of fortune, baying pass you by.

May I trust in you

to surrogate my dreams

when I am not strong.

And learn to watch

you balance minds excesses in perfect order.

If I hewed my life and made time

would you spend it for me.
